BARON CAREW, if) "He was the most typical pupil as well as one of the warmest adherents of Peel. . . like Peel he was dry and like Peel somewhat stiff and formal ; there was nothing about him brilliant or impressive to anyone who was not impressed by duty. He was not and never could have been a party leader; he had not the fire, the magnetism, the eloquence, or the skill as a tactician. . . He was content to do the business and solve the question of the hour ... by an honest sort of opportunism rather than on any very broad principle. . . He was an indifferent partisan, his mind was too fair and his judgment too cool. On the other hand he was a true comrade, a fast friend, and not a bad hater of the enemies of his friends. . . He was cautious, perhaps reticent, to a fault. Without being eloquent, he was a good and convincing speaker in Peel's manner, and particularly clear in exposition ... It was as an administrator and practical legislator that he was really great. . . . His great achieve- ments and monuments are the Merchant Shipping Act of 1854, which is still the code of our Mercantile Marine, and the transformation of the Army to a professional and scientific force."
