Greetings, I am Walter Bagehot, an English journalist, businessman, and essayist of the 19th century. Born on the 3rd of February in 1826 in Langport, Somerset, England, my ventures span from co-founding the National Review in 1855 to crafting influential works such as "The English Constitution" and "Lombard Street: A Description of the Money Market." My pursuits in government, economics, literature, and race have left a lasting impact on the intellectual landscape of my time and beyond.
