The Right Hon. Lord Brougham - from a photograph by Claudet, 1858. '...after a long absence from what may be called out-of-door public life, Lord Brougham last year came forward to preside at the inauguration of a new association which, now in its second year of existence, may be said to have attained a growth unprecedented in any combination of a like character; and it is not too much to say that he will, among his other achievements in the furthering of human progress, be considered as the main founder of the Society for the Promotion of Social Science...To use a common phrase, he was ever the life of the meeting; and he there contrived to run through the whole range of his faculties and his acquirements, which extends over a space that embraces the characters of statesman, political economist, philosopher, jurist, advocate, legislator, orator, man of letters, critic, wit, and every intermediate grade, including especially the genial companion and conversationist, down to the irreclaimable joker of jokes'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
