evious appointment, which gave him precisely the kind of work in which
he was most interested.

He was pleased to recollect that the post on its first creation had been
offered to his father. Among his earliest memories were those of the
talks about India which took place at Kensington Gore on that occasion,
when Macaulay strongly advised my father to take the post of which he
soon became himself the first occupant. Fitzjames spent the summer at a
house called Drumquinna on the Kenmare river. Froude was his neighbour
at Dereen on the opposite bank, and they saw much of each other. In
November, after various leave-takings and the reception of a farewell
address on resigning the recordership of Newark, he set out for India,
his wife remaining for the present in England.
