^' He was an unflinching believer in law and order. ^ ' Exceedingly conservative and practical, he had no love of theory, no fondness for specu- lation, no care to solve problems of any sort. He revered facts, and of them he was always an ardent supporter. Very patient with the existing order of things, for whose original existence he thought there must have been entirely sound reason, he could have lived in a despotism with a certain degree of content- ment, fervid lover of liberty though he w...as. If he had not been able to endure the despot- ism, he would have gone elsewhere, rather than plot against it, or attempt its overthrow. **Many of Colonel Knox's acquaintances failed to understand him, he was so invariably upright, so uncompromising as to what he con- sidered to be right. He sometimes gave offence, no doubt, by saying precisely what he be- lieved ; and yet he was uniformly polite when politeness did not involve falsehood or 3ome other form of insincerity. He would never ask any person to do anything for him that he would not gladly do for that person.
