of his efforts for education and literature, and of the influence which he exercised over the times in which he lived.
This volume, written in the short intervals of pressing business, also suffers from the disadvantage of not having the final corrections and revisions of the author's own hand; but I trust that it may nevertheless be considered a not unworthy conclusion of my father's biographical work, and that it may meet with the same favourable reception from the public that has been accorded to the former volumes.
