not of qu.te the firat order iu polit.es. were.uva.a
oletoa party which counts so many mediocn,,,*
among tbose who gu.do .ts couusi-ls. Ho was a Ut
bottar lawyer than politician. \N hile be re.iia.i.ed
at the Chancery Bar he had no rival but Mr Kouti
dell Palnier, n .w Lord Selborue. Aa Lord Chan
cellor. be wou a plaeo among the very ablest
Equity Judgca. If ho had not such a pjtagf <>f
princ.ples as, for example, the late Mr. Benjamin,
he bad aaenius for dealing with facts, the more
complicated the better. His was a miud foruird
for discovering the real poiut iu n case, to ahleh he
went with an uuerring iustimt. He had a faculty
?f lucidand pereuasive exposition. His lenruing
wasimmeusc; h.sauthority in tho oourts and m
the House of Lords in it* legal capaaty was seldoiu
challenged and still more seldom challeuged suc
cessfully.
Hiseulogy is writteu at leuglh in every paper in
Englaad to-day, and cerUinly it would be hard to
praie? too much ene of the few men who m Ibia
countrv and in tho Conservative partv have made
their way to the higbest place by sheer force of
intollect and cnergy. And yet fame is a qneer
thing. I sald to an acquaintance whom I a?et yes
terday, just aftor I had heard th? very suddcu
newa: "Do you know Lord Cairna lsdeadf'i
"Oh," was the stererotyped an<wor, "that's very
aad." Then after a pause: "Waan't he Lord
Garmoylo'sfatherf"
An Euglishmau not less eminent in his way
than Lord Cairna died a few days before him
alnnro of Cambridge. By ommou couseut, he was
thefirst Latinistof his ti.no iu Engiand; a man
Who did much to relieve Engl.sh acholarship from
the reproach of sui?erriciality and alovenlinesa. He
hadthedist.nctionof being aclassicisr who knew
Enghsb. Tbe translation of Lucretins was a*
remarkablc iu diction as his editing of the text was
in leannug. The Gennans, wbeM viows of foroign
rivals are aet always too generous, learncd to treat
Munro with respect m public, and they rcally
adm.rod bim more than they cared to confess.
He had a vigor of mind auch as few men in thase
daya devota to tho elncidatlon of obscure tex.s, or
the acudy of claasieal manuscripta. Though uoth
iug like so famous as his Lucretius, Muuro's edition
of "JEtna" ahowed qiia'ities of intollect and of
tockuical scbolarahip alinost aa remarkal.le. Many
years ago a fnend who ahowed mo Cambridge,

The Radicals who have since 1870 been calling on
