Great energy, great power of mind, ambition and activity that, with discretion, might have done anything, now made into a player. ' Or this, on July 1, 1843, when he has been to Westminster Hall to see the exhibi- tion of Cartoons : ' Saw several persons that I knew, to whom I did not speak, as I did not know how far they might think themselves lowered in their own opinion by speaking to me. ' And yet the same morning he had breakfasted with Monckton JNIilnes (Lord Houghton), to meet Carlyle, B...unsen, Lord Morpeth, and several other people of the same class, not one of whom but esteemed him, and of course treated him as they would have treated any other gentleman of their acquaintance. Can it be, is the question that again and again rises as we read passage after passage of this kind, that Mr. Macready seriously meant such revela- tions of personal foibles, if not of something worse, to be given to the public ? Is it conceivable that a man should turn his diary into a confessional, in which to hold up in black and white before strangers' eyes his vanity ; his overweening estimate of his own powers and importance ; his vices of temper, of en\y, of jealousy, of morbid pride ; his grudges at fortune ; his occasional misgivings about himself; his penitences and his self-reproaches ?
