LESLIE, Lieut. -Colonel (Retired List). (To be continued.) "A GENTLEMAN, A SCHOLAR, AND A CHKISTIAN." The 'N.E.D.,' while quoting "a Sch oiler and a Gentleman" and "a Gentleman arid a Scholer " from the first quarter of the seventeenth century, furnishes no earlier instance of the triple combination than the passage in the 'Essays of Elia,' where Lamb, mentioning "that class of modest divines who affect to mix in equal proportion .the gentleman, the scholar, and the Christian," takes occasion to remark that " the first ingredient is generally found to be the predominating dose in the composi- tion." But long before this Hacket in his 'Life' of Archbishop Williams, p. 11, Wrote of Richard Vaughan, Bishop of London, that he had '' much of a Gentle- man, much of a Scholar, and most of a Christian."
