Lord Rosebery's eloge ends with a passage of such lofty

eloquence that we cannot resist the pleasure of quotation :- "There is a human majesty about him which commands our reverence, for we recognise in him a great intellect, a large heart, a noble soul. He lived under grievous torments, in dread of doubt, in dread of madness, in terror of death yet he never flinched. He stood four square to his own

generation as he stands to posterity We salute once more with reverence to-day the memory of that brave, manly, tender soul, and pass on with the hope that from his abundant store we may draw some measure of faith and courage to sustain our own lives."
