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).

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'."
