362 GEORGE ROLLESTON xxi 



In me there dwells 



No greatness, save it be some far-off touch 

 Of greatness to know well I am not great : 

 There is the man. 



The loss of the example afforded by such a nature, and of his 

 elevating influence on younger and weaker men, is to our 

 mind a still greater loss, both within and without the 

 University in which he taught, than the loss of what 

 scientific work he might yet have performed. 



Dr. Rolleston's personal appearance corresponded with his 

 character. Of commanding height, broad-shouldered, with a 

 head of unusual size, indicating a volume of brain commensurate 

 with his intellectual power, clear penetrating blue eyes, and 

 strongly-marked and expressive features, in which refinement 

 and vigour were singularly blended, in him we saw just such 

 a man as was described by the public orator at the late Oxford 

 Commemoration, in words with which we may conclude this 

 notice : " Virum excultissimi ingenii, integritatis incorruptis- 

 sima3, veritatis amicum, et propugnatorem impavidum."
