Excerpt from Recollections of the Public Career and Private Life of the Late John Adolphus, the Eminent Barrister and Historian: With Extracts From His Diaries Adolphus, in 1862, I have been constantly urged to publish my recollections of my father. The cares and occupations of married life, however, rendered such a task impossible, and even now, when in my solitude it is a pleasure and relief to me to revive old scenes and ehermhed memories, I do it with regret that an abler pen could not accomplish what I know would have been a labour of love to a son who looked on his father With the truest respect, admiration, and afl'ection. By the help of diaries and my memory, which is a pretty correct one, I hope to bring back some scenes to those old enough to remember them, readers in the events of many years back, and the sayings and doings of a man whose name they have heard as one of the celebrities of hishim]; but I shall only do sowhen necesu-y to Blush-e me: or relate fact: which I should feel it a duty to do in his own words. Unfortunately, and much to his regret, he did not in his younger days write a copious imirnal, but simply noted down what he had done in the day. In making extracts from the descriptive journals rt! The last seven years of his life, I must crave in diligence should any of the anecdotes I may quote have Immured elsewhere, as is but too probable. I shall now begin by an extract from a very old paper, found after his Math, in which he gives an account of his earliest years.

Joyous and bold each ardent look Of mirth and wild adventure spoke; (Just so, by fabling scribes 'tis told The robber Caliph looked of old). And lo! I saw--and cursed the light That scared me with so foul a sight. The cheek and lip, so smooth before With grim mustachios roughened o'er; Not such as ill requite the care Of Bond Street's callow militaires, But fiercely curled, of mighty span, And formed to fright a whole Divan. "Such are the fancies, passion bred, That nightly vex my feverish head. Oh I Persia! Oh! ye kinsmen sage, That watched and blessed my ripening age, Was it for this I vowed to store My ardent soul with British lore? Now, if I turn some page antique, Where truth and reverend wisdom speak, New readings mar the thought divine, And every word is Caroline! Now when my listless eyes I strain On line and circle, sphere and plane, Throughout the geometric maze, 'Tis all a dance my mind surveys; Of laws I think of those alone Which Beauty's bondmen love to own. Of British science, arts and armB, Of Glasgow looms, and Hampshire farms, Of gas and steam, of docks, canals, Schools, savings' banks, and hospitals, Of lectures, trials, plays, debates, Taxes, and funds, and parish rates, Alas 1 I now can think no more Than mad Cambyses thought of yore, Unless their properties combine In the loved name of Caroline. "Oft, too, I mourn with humblest awe, Prophet, thy violated law; For while within those radiant eyes, I saw the living flashes rise, I felt my former faith expire, And turned a Worshipper of fire! "But hence, ye thoughts that would control, The whelming current of my soul; For what are learning, wealth, command, What Britain's isle, or...
