X PREFACE 



tured gentleman. More than that, there is not one utter- 

 ance of " anger, hatred or malice." Mr. George Ord and 

 Mr. Charles Waterton were both my grandfather's bitter 

 enemies, yet one he rarely mentions, and of the latter, when 

 he says, " I had a scrubby letter from Waterton," he has 

 said his worst. 



But the journals will speak for themselves better than I 

 can, and so I send them forth, believing that to many they 

 will be of absorbing interest, as they have been to me.
