Of the innumerable persons he must have known in his extended inter- 11 course, of the immense correspondence he must have carried on, not an individual or a hne seems to have been forgotten. Each was duly registered on the written tables of the brain, or in its own place in the well-ordered file. In its almost mechanic precision, his memory reminds one of those miracles of man's science and skill, — of the wonderful engine which presents, free from any possible error, com- plex columns of calc...ulated mathematical tables, without stop or limit ; or of the cathedral clock of Strasburg, which registers the close of every day, and year, and century, and has a wheel waiting to introduce a new series of figures, when the second millennium of the Christian era has elapsed. The amazing extent of his historical research, and accu- racy of his knowledge, have become proverbial. 1 allude to them here, as another illustration of this fundamental quality of his mind ; the same tenacity and determination being displayed in these, so closely associated with, and so distinctly character- izing his moral and religious principle.
