V.G. {^) " His temper wras perfect, it arose from a genuine sweetness of disposition, from a kind, gentle, affectionate nature. His judgment was never disturbed by irritability. He weighed motives and conduct in exquisitely poised scales, and his estimates of character were seldom equalled for sagacity and truth. His grace, his tact, his high bred manners, made him a general favourite in society." (Abraham Hayward). Lord Melbourne describes him in 1841, as "clever, active; somewhat bitter and caustic, and rather suspicious." V.G. 6
