Excerpt from History of the Anti-Corn-Law League, Vol. 1 A more serious objection may be, that an impartial his tory cannot be expected from one whose participation in the movement might influence his judgment to a more favourable view of the persons who led it, and a more un favourable one of those who determinedly opposed it, than either class deserved. To this my reply would be, that he who has been a partizan from a deep conviction of the humanity and justice of a cause, is quite as likely to be a truthful historian as one who, not having formed any decisive opinion as to the necessity of the contest on one side or the other, held aloof from it, and was utterly indif ferent to its great results.
