Mr. Baxendell sought no applause while living ; to refrain 

 from adding it now will be to respect a wish, casually 

 expressed about three years ago, that when his time came 

 he should like to slip out of the world as quietly as possible. 

 The approval of his work, by those who are capable of 

 judging of its merits, will supply a testimony to its worth of 

 greater value than any studied eulogy with which the writer 

 of this memoir could conclude his task.
