He was then sixty years old. His youth, with its enthusiasm, its hopes and deceptions, was far behind. His fame rose full-orbed upon Great Britain, and he had a reception seldom given to a stranger. He was again made welcome by men eminent in letters and in social rank, and was especially honored by the Queen. The islands seemed brighter for his coming, and fresh ties of sympathy and respect seemed to unite the elder and the younger peoples. How he bore himself in this place, the place of the h...ighest dignity in the gift of the President, is fresh in the minds of all. He was a lover of his country, LIFE IN ENGLAND 85 jealous of its honor, a patriot in every fibre ; while at the same time he was a citizen of the world of letters, and loved history in minsters and castles, and was conservative of the poetry of tradition. No one was more firmly based in the common language, or better read in the common literature, of our race. Englishmen knew he was the unchanged author of " Jonathan to John ; " and if he retained his popularity, as he un- doubtedly did, it was not by cringing, or surrender of democratic ideas, or suppres- sion of unpalatable truth.
