Rh themselves to a Lieutenant-Governor. Usually he read, pen or pencil in hand. His note books testify to his appetite, as to the indulgence with which he gratified it. It is as a man of affairs in public, and as a student in private life, that in his papers and his diaries he presents himself to us. Glimpses of a more intimate kind may be gained when the veil is lifted by friends (for he was a man of many friends) who have recorded their reminiscences of him, or by the more jealous hands of those who were immediately connected with him.
