| 説明 | One of the greatest esseyists of all time, Hazlitt made a sustained attack on William Wilberforce (and Lord Eldon) in his essey: The Spirit of the Age, published in 1825, here is an extract; below. This image of Hazlitt's portrait hangs in the Wilberforce House Museum, the property in which Wilberforce was born in in 1759."Mr. Wilberforce is a less perfect character in his way. He acts from mixed motives. He would willingly serve two masters, God and Mammon. He is a person of many excellent and admirable qualifications; but he has made a mistake in wishing to reconcile those that are incompatible. He has a most winning eloquence: specious, persuasive, familiar, silver-tongued: is amiable, charitable, conscientious, pious, loyal, humane, tractable to power, accessible to popularity, honouring the king, and no less charmed with the homage of his fellow-citizens. 'What lacks he then?' Nothing but an economy of good parts. By aiming at too much, he has spoiled all, and neutralised what might have been an estimable character, distinguished by signal services to mankind. A man must take his choice not only between virtue and vice, but between different virtues. Otherwise, he will not gain his own approbation, or secure the respect of others. The graces and accomplishments of private life mar the man of business and the statesman"William Hazlitt 1778-1830.William Wilberforce 1759-1833. |
