A GENEROUS GIVER.
In many parts of our Dominions Lord Glendyne. was known and trusted as an able and wise Counsellor, and more; perhaps, than any other man in our time he may be said to have been a direct instrument in aiding the development of our Oversea Dominions by the various Loans which were floated. Impulsive in temperament, an autocrat in business, a shrewd driver of a bargain, Lord Glendyne contrived to combine with these qualities the kindliest of dispositions, • and the man who was inexorable in a business bargain found It quite impossible to resist any appeal of a charitable nature. His gifts to public charities were on a munificent -scale, but they probably paled into insignificance when compared with his private acts of charity, and it would be hard to say whether Lord Glendyne will be more missed as a foremost leader in . finance or by the many institutions and individuals to whom he has rendered financial aid over a long period.
