 guished individuals with deference, and was gratified 

 by them ; but there was no fawning or flattery on his 

 part, and he received in precisely the same manner (as 

 some of us can testify) the most obscure of his old friends, 

 and assumed towards them no airs of superiority or of 

 patronage. Whatever might be the situation in which 

 he was placed, one felt in regard to him that the fiddlers 

 struck up the right tune, when after his health was 

 drunk at a parting dinner at Cromarty they played, " A 

 man's a man for a' that." But I would not be exhibiting 

 his full character if I did not add, that, bending before 

 no man, he ever bowed in lowliest reverence before his 

 God ; that seeking no patron, climbing by no dirty arts, 

 and determined to be dependent on no man, he ever felt 

 and acknowledged his dependence on a Higher Power.
