Oxford, where he
was generally regarded as the most brilliant of an exceptionally able set, and in 1854 obtained a fellowship at See also:Oriel College. His constitutional weakness and See also:bad eyesight forced him to abandon See also:medicine, which he had adopted as a career, and in 1855 he returned to King's College as lecturer in See also:English See also:language and literature, a See also:post which he almost immediately quitted for the professorship of See also:modern See also:history. He made numerous journeys abroad, the most important being his visit to See also:Russia in 1858, his See also:account of which was published anonymously in 1859 under the See also:title of Russia, by a See also:Recent Traveller; an adventurous See also:journey through See also:Poland during the insurrection of 1863, of which he gave a sympathetic and much praised account in the Spectator; and a visit to the See also:United States in 1868, where he gathered materials for his subsequent discussion of the See also:negro problem in his See also:National See also:Life and See also:Character. In the meantime, besides contributing regularly, first to the Saturday See also:Review and then to the Spectator, and editing the National Review, he wrote the first See also:volume of The Early and See also:Middle Ages of See also:England (1861). The See also:work was bitterly attacked by See also:Freeman, whose " extravagant Saxonism " Pearson had been unable to adopt. It appeared in 1868 in a revised See also:form with the title of History of England during the Early and Middle Ages, accompanied by a second volume which met with See also:general recognition. Still better was the reception of his admirable Maps of England in the First Thirteen Centuries (187o). But as the result of these labours he was threatened with See also:total See also:blindness; and, disappointed of receiving a professorship at Oxford, in 1871 he emigrated to See also:Australia. Here he married and settled down to the life of a See also:sheep-See also:farmer; but finding his See also:health and eyesight greatly improved, he came to See also:Melbourne as lecturer on history at the university. Soon afterwards he became See also:head See also:master of the Presbyterian Ladies' College, and in this position practically organized the whole See also:system of higher education for See also:women in See also:Victoria. On his See also:election in 1878 to the Legislative See also:Assembly he definitely adopted politics as his career. His views on the See also:land question and See also:secular education aroused the See also:bitter hostility of the See also:rich squatters and the See also:clergy; but his singular See also:nobility of character, no less than his See also:powers of mind, made him one of the most influential men in the Assembly. He was See also:minister without See also:portfolio in the See also:Berry See also:cabinet (188o-1881), and as minister of education in the See also:coalition See also:government of 1886 to 1890 he was able to pass into See also:law many of the recommendations of his See also:report. His reforms entirely remodelled See also:state education in Victoria. In 1892 a fresh attack of illness decided him to return to England. Here he published in 1893 the best known of his See also:works, National Life and Character. It is an See also:attempt to show that the See also:- WHITE
