text_original: Lord Rockingham had many claims to the regard of his contemporaries; undoubtedly his greatest claim to the regard of posterity lies in the intelligence which enabled him to discern the rising genius of a young writer, and the wisdom which found a place by his side and a seat in the House of Commons for Edmund Burke. [Sidenote: 1765  The coming of Edmund Burke] The history of a nation is often largely the history of certain famous men.
