Hyde, Heman Lowrj^ and Mr. Haswell of Burlington ; Judge Kellogg of Brat- tleboro, Governor Eobinson of Bennington, Judge Williams of Rutland. A strong bond of personal friendship seemed to have been formed among this class of men, by their political connection. The party never commanded a majority in Vermont. And dur- ing this period of his life Mr. Linsley never held office, except the appointment of United States district attorney, under the administration of President Polk. Indeed he neithe...r sought nor cared for official distinc- tion, preferring the duties of his profession and the enjoyments of private life. He was an early and strong friend of the rail road enterprises of the state; and was connected with Judge Follett, Mr. Conant, Judge Smalley and others in the projection and final completion, through many trials and difficulties, of the Rutland and Burlington Rail road. He had a love for literature, and a fine natural taste in it, which he cultivated with care and success. He read much and judiciously, and many fragments among his papers show how earnestly he endeavored in his early manhood to accquire a scholarly style.
