I have been thinking over the characteristics of my father which are quite apart from the qualities on which his influence and his success as a man of science depended, and I think the quality -which stands out in my mind most pre- eminently is his abhorrence of anything approaching to oppression or cruelty, and especially of slavery ; combired with this he had an enthusiasm for liberty of the in- dividual and for liberal principles. I can give you one or two illustrations, which are very sligh...t in themselves, but one of them has remained impressed on my memory since early boyhood. There was living very near us at Down . A gentleman farmer, with whom my father was slightly acquainted. It became reported that this man had allowed some sheep to die of starvation. My father heard of it and t 12 MR. W. E. DARWIN. once took up the matter, and though he was ill and weak and it was most painful to attack a near neighbour, he went round the whole parish, collected all the evidence himself, and had the case brought before the magistrates, and as far as I can recollect he got the man convicted.
