text_original: J. E. Green, in his ' Short History of the English People,' gives a striking picture of Walpole in this earlier part of his career. Mr. Green describes him as ' a young Norfolk landowner of fair fortune, with the tastes and air of the class from which he sprang.' 'His big, square figure, his vulgar, good humoured face, were those of a common country squire. And in Walpole the squire underlay the statesman to the last.
