to introduce a system Of public education on
chronological principles, shown that he is a
partisan Of the doctrine | do not know
whether It be true, that the nature Of the edu-
cation and pursuits Of the lawyers has a ten
dency to check the development Of the organ
called conscieniousness, or that the head OF
Lord Brougham is, in this respect, deficient in
the external sign neither do know whether,
IN his general conduct as a man, there may be
any ground for supposing that he is deficient
in conscientiousness but l am quite sure,
that, if there he any truth in phrenolosy, he
must have the organ Of caution (the phrenolo-
gists have another word for il that is less flat
tering) strongly developed. Whilst he was
Lord Chancellor, he was in the almost daily
habit Of communicating articles to daily pa
per, but with degree Of caution which few
men would have imagined. Not line of his
writing came before the compositors, or even
the editor. His communications were made
by letter to his brother, by whom they were
read 10 the editor, who wrote as Mr. Broug-
ham read and, in this way the leading arti-
cles appeared, without its being possible to
prove that they came from Lord Broughams
pen. On one occasion, when an article
against the Wing ministry had appeared in
The Times, il was sent TO Lord Brougham,
who was sitting at Westminster in The Court
Of Chancery. The paper was folded in such
way that the article might meet the eve rea-
dily, and was handed up to the chancellor
Sir Edward Sugden was pleading The chan
cellor laid the paper before him, took his pen,
and, whilst the public and the bar imagined
that he was taking notes Of Sir Edwards
speech, with whom, from time to time, he held
conversation on the points Of his case, the
answer was written. Less than quarter of
m hour sufficed for an article Of about forty
lines full Of spirit. When it was done, he
made some excuse for quitting the bench for
few minutes, and went into his own room,
when j, was given to the editor to anscrbe
for, although Lord Brougham could write, and
write well for newspapers, no man was to be
permitted to possess proof that the articles
came from him. | have heard Of other in
stances of his caution in his relations with the
newspaper press; but, as they were not like
those which | have given within my personal
knowledge, shall not repeat them here-.a
