• Notes

  "He was a very amiable man and with a good understanding, though his talents were far from brilliant. A High Churchman and a High Tory, but a cool politician, a bad speaker, a good writer, greatly averse to changes, but unwillingly acquiescing in many. He was nervous and reserved, with a good deal of humour, and habitually a jester." [5]
