 John Cotter Morison, whose library is now being dis- .
persed, was one of the brilliant men that did not do as
much in life as he should have done He spent a great
many years in collecting materials for a mg-rmmlopus,
but the ears went by ; he was asked to write this an
that—“ Iacaulay,” for instance, for the “ English Men
of Letters Series ”-—with the result that he was diverted

days he had lost several unds ; and then knew that
the game of life was up. Vith the cheery cynicism of
the stoic he accepted the inevitable with the greatest
calmness. He was always astonished, and, so far as a
gentle nature like his could be so described, rather
exasperated, if his friends took the least notice of his ill—
ness. Even three days before his death he insisted that
people should talk to him about ordinary subjects in the
ordinary way, exactly as if nothing particular were going
