The winds of time and contest blow away the chaff, at last, from the great grain-floor of humanity a blessed fact, by the by, which reconciles us to many tempests. Hemisphere does not cry aloud to hemisphere about common people. Nations do not mourn over men who deserve no tears. There was then something in George Peabody, or about him, that called for the homage which has been ren- dered him. What was it ?
21 Not his intellect, certainly for, neither in capacity nor cultivation, was he above t...he grade of thousands of clever men, both here and in England, in his own and kindred callings. He had not genius to dazzle, or invention to create. He had made no discovery in science, or even in finance. He knew little of art, and had contri- buted nothing to the stock of what is denominated "human knowledge. " Statesman he was not nay, not even politician. He had never worn spur on battle-field: had never filled office, or wielded power, or sought to be any man's master but his own. There was not, I repeat, a single element in him or circumstance in his career, of those which enter into the common estimate of greatness.
