"Mr. Greg's intellect, though acute and vigorous, was preeminently wanting in freshness and versatility. He had not a touch of that talent, traceable in every line of Bagehot, which enables a theorist to put well-worn truths in a new point of view. Hence he displays little skill in the analysis of character. Nor did he possess anything like the extensive knowledge or the capacity for sympathy which gave Mill for a short time such commanding influence. Though, again, no man tried more earnestly to conduct controversy in a fair and candid spirit, Mr. Greg betrayed in all his utterances on political or social subjects an unmistakable bias. Not by interest but by force of position and natural bent of mind, he was "retained" through life as the representative of capitalists. Whatever the form or the title of Mr. Greg's political writings, he in fact always wrote from the point of view of a manufacturer. He gained as a controversialist by the honest dogmatism which enabled him to put forth without hesitation and with perfect sincerity the strong points of the case which he undertook to argue." ... "His strength lay in two characteristics: he never attempted to win his case by any other force than by the strength of his argument. Sarcasm, irony, humorous exaggeration, all the hundred modes of appealing to men's feelings rather than to their understandings, were utterly foreign to his manner. He possessed, further, a rare capacity for discriminating between the different degrees in which his arguments carried satisfaction to his own mind. He could distinguish, and make it clear to his readers that he distinguished between conclusions which he held to be certain, and those inferences which he believed to have in their favor but a slight amount of probability," "Extracts from a very careful estimate of Greg's ability, in the Nation, Jan. 25.
