	Sir Leslie Stephen - LoveToKnow 1911
		Five volumes were then published under the joint editorship of Leslie Stephen and of Mr Sidney Lee, whom he had appointed as his assistant in March 1883.
		Many of these are salted with irony, and most of them are characterized by felicitous phrases, by frequent flashes of insight (especially of the sardonic order), and by the good fortune which attends a consummate artist in his special craft.
		As a thinker Leslie Stephen showed himself consistently a follower of Hume, Bentham, the Mills and G. Lewes, but he accepted the older utilitarianism only as modified by the application of Darwinian principles, upon lines to some extent indicated by Herbert Spencer (see Ethics).

		Stephen seems to have felt, at times, that editorial work was drudgery; but, at least, as contributor to The Cornhill Magazine, he had a free hand; and the three series of Hours in a Library made up of his articles may fairly be taken to show him at his best as a critic.
		Stephen’s most ambitious and weightiest books, however, lie outside the sphere both of literary criticism and of biography.
		Thus, Leslie Stephen was nearly forty before his name became familiar to the public outside literary circles.

	Leslie Stephen and the New DNB
		In 1882 Smith was persuaded by Stephen that a universal biography on the scale envisaged was impracticable.
		Stephen stated his objectives in his announcement of the new Biographia Britannica-as the DNB was originally to be called-in an article in the Athenaeum on 23 December 1882.
		Stephen emphasized instead the importance of 'minute names, the mere rank and file of the great army', of the utility of extensive coverage, and the importance of 'amusement' as well as factual accuracy.

	Leslie Stephen and the New DNB, pt 3
		Stephen echoed the 'melancholy, long, withdrawing roar' of the late-Victorian intelligentsia, but he also caught a sense of purpose and quiet national pride, which assumed rather than asserted.
		Stephen's criticism of George Smith's vision of a Biographie Universelle was that it was impractical, not that it was undesirable.
		Let me conclude with Leslie Stephen's last sentence of his lecture on 'National Biography', which is a solace to any editor: 'great as is the difference between a good and a bad work of the kind, even a very defective performance is immensely superior to none at all'.

		The quality which gives the literary charm to Stephen's work is also, as people have intimated, the source of its power.
