     summary: There are many other great writers, working in other fields, whom we may claim as belonging altogether or almost to the Victorian age. There was contemporaneous distress enough and to spare in Great Britain: failures in Lancashire alone to the amount of £16,000,000; failures equally heavy in Birmingham, Glasgow, and other great towns; capital was absorbed by the mad speculations in railway shares; and even Heaven's gift of an abundant harvest, by at once lowering the price of corn, helped to depress commerce.

For with them That struck the Russ, that brake the Mutineer, And smote the stiff Sikh to his knee,--with these Came they that kept our England's sea-swept hem, And held afar from her the foreign fear.
