Excerpt from Sir Robert Peel

The course of the present biography has been strange. Six or seven years after Peel's death there appeared two volumes, prepared for publication by himself, which embraced the three capital crises of his life. Then we wait for forty years. The chests of his papers, bequeathed in solemn trust, slumber in silence: there are rumours of documents which affect living statesmen and which impose reserve: the statesmen die, and yet there is no sign: the trustees themselves die, and are replaced by others an eminent author dips into them, and brings up a magazine article: the appetite of posterity remains whetted and unap peased: the documents remain, an un explored treasure of political history.
