Excerpt from The Quarterly Review, Vol. 202: Comprising Nos. 402, 403, Published in January and April, 1905 The reminiscences incorporated in the memoir show that he was a strenuous worker from his earliest years.' He owed his historic taste and gifts in a large measure to his father, who was a solicitor at Knaresborough, and set him as a boy to read charters and old documents. He soon learnt to discern the difierence between classical and medieval Latin, and became familiar with medieval phrae eology. While at school in Knaresborough he was not only learning classics, but was also laying another foundation; he was learning and thinking deeply of religious matters.' All through his life he recurred to the benefit which he had derived from attending the Bible lessons given by a Mrs Stevens in a little room ofl' Kirkgate.' He gave early evidence of his love of fun and of his political bent; at the age of six he was privileged to wave the true-blue Tory flag in the face of Henry Brougham.'
