His wisdom and tact were equal to his industryand administrative abilities. Above all, his patriotism blazed with asteady light, like a beacon in a storm, as intense as that of Mazzini, but more wisely directed. Cavour was a younger son of a noble Piedmontese family, and entered thearmy in 1826, serving in the engineers. His liberal sentiments made himdistrusted by the government of Charles Felix as a dangerous man, and hewas doomed to an inactive life in an unimportant post. He soon quittedthe... army, and embarked in business operations as manager of one of theestates of his family. For twelve years he confined himself toagricultural labors, making himself acquainted with all the details ofbusiness and with the science of agriculture, introducing suchimprovements as the use of guano, and promoting agriculturalassociations; but he was not indifferent at the same time to publicaffairs, being one of the most zealous advocates of constitutionalliberty. A residence in England gave him much valuable knowledge as tothe working of representative institutions.
