" Mr. GLADSTONE'S Government" (p. 355). For the 
sake of the West Indies one cannot but wish that Mr. 
FROUDE had seen more of the capable man who rules 
Jamaica, but, for Sir Henry NORMAN'S own sake 
his conversation with his literary guest appears to have

the time of Mr. Froude's tour, the Office of Harbour 
Master was held by a man of such solemn aspe£t that 
his friends nicknamed him The Reverend. No doubt, 
Mr. FROUDE overheard some familiars addressing
