“ Cooke say, 'Those boys of mine learn of one another more than from me.' Of his early superiority he was as little vain as if it had consisted in spinning a top, or trundling a hoop ; he never went further in setting himself above another than by humorously caricaturing, something ludicrously bad. In short, he was one of the most agreeable lads that ever had ' the run' of a house. An instance of Bartleman's nice feeling I call to mind. ”

“ I can add, with pride and acknowledgment, that, in the goodness of his nature, he never forgot where he had spent many of his boyish hours, and that whatever time elapsed without our meeting, he was always, on every occasion, prompt to show, and cordial in expressing the continuance of his regard. ”
