XIV THE LATE G. F. KUXTON 



lived, and resisted his friends' repeated solicitations to 

 abandon a roving life, and settle down in England, 

 there can be little doubt that he would have made his 

 name eminent on the list of those daring and persever- 

 ing men, whose travels in distant and dangerous lands 

 have accumulated for England, and for the world, so 

 rich a store of scientific and general information, And, 

 although the few words it has been thought right and 

 becoming here to devote to his memory, will doubtless 

 be more particularly welcome to his personal friends, 

 we are persuaded that none will peruse without interest 

 this brief tribute to the merits of a gallant soldier, and 

 accomplished English gentleman.
