Arthur Young's Remarkable Personality. 57 



(previously alluded to), in which we are told that " in 

 his second journey to France he set out alone, but he 

 had not proceeded more than 100 miles when his mare 

 fell blind ; not, however, being discouraged by this 

 incident, he travelled with her 1700 miles, and brought 

 her safe back to Bradfield." But, besides the strength 

 of character shown by the instance quoted, he evinced 

 the greatest candour of mind in chronicling his own 

 mistakes, and severely animadverting on them, which 

 he sometimes does to an amusing extent. Altogether, 

 he leaves on the mind a most agreeable impression, and 

 a feeling of confidence that in his vai'ious writings 

 he has accurately and fully recorded the agricultural 

 experiences of his times.
