It is this combination of independence with mutual trust that has once and again saved our countrymen in India amidst the greatest dangers. And it is what struck Emerson, a keen but generous observer, in his attempt to estimate the best points of our national character. "The intellectual organisation of the English admits a communi- cableness of knowledge and ideas among them all. An electric touch by any of their national ideas melts them into one family, and brings the hoards of power which t...heir individuality is always hiving, into use and play for all. Is it the smallness of the country or is it the pride and aflFection of race ? . . . They have solidarity ON QUEEN VICTORIA'S JUBILEE 83 or responsibleness and trust in each other. In politics or war they hold each other as by hooks of steel. The charm in Nelson's history is the unselfish greatness : the assurance of bding supported to the uttermost by those whom he supports to the uttermost." I think this is true, if it is taken, as it must be, rather as a description of that to which our countrymen rise at their best, as an ideal which is realised in our best statesmen and soldiers and public servants, and to which many others make an approximation.
