Captain NEWBOLD was remarkable for the patience and 
industry with which all his researches were conducted, and 
the extreme care and caution evinced by him before pro- 
nouncing any conclusion. He nevertooka fact for granted 
when it might be ascertained by enquiry, nor ever was con- 
tent to say ‘‘I do not know” in cases where ignorance could 
be dispelled by exertion, and never professed knowledge 
he did not possess. He was not only an able and accom- 
plished, but a singularly amiable and excellent man—of 
great mental purity and personal worth; and no more dis- 
tinguished enquirer has been removed from amongst us 
since the name of the illustrious JAMES PRINSEP was erased
