— Ever affec- tionate. * Of the death of Mrs. Richardson. 282 LIFE OF LORD JEFFREY. 131. — To Mr. Empson. Edinlnirgh, 15th. Macaulay seems to have got charmingly through his estimates. It is in things like these — the whole business of governments in quiet times — that the Go- vernment is strong. It is weak because there have been great constitutional, almost organic changes; and affected, not through overwhelming and para- lyzing force^ but by conflict of ojnnions — in which there is now partl...y a revulsion, partly a revival, and chiefly a gradual and growing splitting and hiving off of sections and shades, which were blend- ed at first as against a common enemy. Do not you see that this is the course of all Aveak governments ; first the destruction of old unquestioned authority by just and successful resistance; and then the di- visions which necessarily ensue among the different parties into which the conquerors naturally array themselves — each in a great degree ignorant of its own actual following in the body, and usually over- rating it.
