In the present instance it has been thought that the best memoir, as well as the most lasting monument of the author, is to be found in his writings-not in what others may say of him, now that he is gone, but in what his own living pen had left on record.

Under this impression, all that has been aimed at in these introductory notices has been to present a fair estimate of his labours and influence in those fields to which his energies were devoted, and to furnish only so much, in the way of fact and incident, as might be needful to a right appreciation both of his writings and his character.
