He was as clear, and prompt, as all-knowing, and omnipresent in the Department as Mr. Stewart is in his mercantile establishment. But all his patience of details, his untiring energy, and ceaseless labors would have been of little avail without the personal character he brought to the work. Of great solidity and compactness of frame, thought, care and sorrow had refined his face, and softened his flowing beard, and purified his complexion, till he looked the image of a scholar pale from serious... or sacred studies. Temperate in the extreme, he seemed to live from meat and drink un- Hke that of other men, and to keep his body under with almost saintly rigor. When I first knew him he was already an invalid, and an object of solicitude to his family and his physician — although he repelled sympathy, and even seemed annoyed at inquiries about his health — a pretty sure sign of a consciousness that all is not right. He worked when he could not eat, and his invalid hours seemed equal to other men's best ; for he lived from his soul, and not fi-om his body.
