So peculiar a Scotchman in voice and manner I was not prepared to meet. Natives of the same province recognise at once the clay from which each other must have originally sprung ; no amount of schooling can change him or hide the peasant origin from being seen by another of the same locality, although the acutest Londoner does not seem to detect it. But here, face, d...ress, manners, and accent were all alike those of a man rather proud of his humble and provincial antecedents, one not at all ambitious of being a citizen of the world. His conversation was exactly like his Latter- day Pamphlets, only more damnatory, and his descriptions of people and things — he did not care so much for talking of books — were admirably terse, vivid, and vigorous, but all from one point of view — anatomical ; his voice, emphatic enough, was like the rattling of pebbles and boulders driven against each other in a spate.
