Synopsis
Short excerpt: A new world of inventions-of railways and of telegraphs-has grown up around us which we cannot help seeing; a new world of ideas is in the air and affects us though we do not see it.
Jacques Barzun
We go to Bagehot for something that seems very difficult to convey accurately through mere definition or single examples-the true character of political man. This character, in turn, is important to discover, because on it depends the possibility of leading a life above `physics,' a life better than that of the jungle..
