On the other hand, I recognized a strange little man, folded up in an old dingy Spanish cloak, with a broad brimmed yellow hat, hooked loosely on one corner of his small square head, and shadowing a face plastered all over with snuff, which, in the vehemence of his agitation, he flung at his nose in handfiils; but through this forbidding exterior it was easy to perceive, by the flash of his eye, and the sarcastic turn of his expression, a

A substance, not unlike rhubarb in its appearance, but of a very pleasant fragrance, was rubbed on a piece of shark's skin, stretched on wood; and much it appeared to please an old man, who valued this snuff-stick so highly, that he would not part with it.

He had a nice silver snuff-box given him by Mrs. Wedgwood of Maer, which he valued muchbut he rarely carried it, because it tempted him to take too many pinches. In one of his early letters he speaks of having given up snuff for a month, and describes himself as feeling most lethargic, stupid and melancholy. Our former neighbour and clergyman, Mr

When letters were finished, about three in the afternoon, he rested in his bedroom, lying on the sofa, smoking a cigarette, and listening to a novel or other book not scientific.

His deep-set eyes were light blue-gray. He made the impression of a powerful man reduced somewhat by sickness. The massive brow and forehead show in his later photographs, but not so conspicuously as in a life-size head of him when younger, which hung in the parlour. In the
