They were first revealed to be Bagehot's by R. H. Hutton in his memoir of his great friend in the Fortnightly Review, n.s. 22 (October, 1877), 470; they were first collected in Bagehot's Literary Studies, ed. R. H. Hutton (1879), I, 309-360.

In his introduction to Matthew Arnold the Poetry, The Critical Heritage (1973), p. 12, Carl Dawson remarks that Bagehot's essays "unfortunately do not include a piece on Arnold's verse . . ."

It is interesting to observe that Hutton quotes the first thirteen lines in his memoir of Bagehot (Fortnightly Review, n.s., 22 [October, 1877], 455).

This appears in the "Checks and Balances" chapter of The English Constitution, serialized in the Fortnightly Review, 6 (December, 1866), 807-826.

In "Lord Palmerston," Economist, October 21, 1865, p. 1265, Bagehot wrote, "The prerequisites of a constitutional statesman have been defined as the 'powers of a first-rate man, and the creed of a second-rate man'."
