by a singular sweetness of temper, was produced and fostered by
the serious thoughtfulness ensuing upon early familiarity with
domestic sorrow.

"'He was gentle,' writes one of his earliest and closest
school-friends, 'retiring, thoughtful to pensiveness,
affectionate, without envy or jealousy, almost without

one was ever more formed for friendship. In all his words and
