only just on all the qualities of his temperament which affected necessarily
not his own life only。 But; now that the story is told; no one will have
difficulty in striking the balance between its good and ill; and what was
really imperishable in Landor's genius will not be treasured less; or less

great genius; M。 Victor Hugo; is singularly strong。

associated with the present writer's over the grave of a young officer。 No
name could stand there; more inseparably associated in the writer's mind
with the dignity of generosity: with a noble scorn of all littleness; all
cruelty; oppression; fraud; and false pretence。
