upon him as an English interloper, and left him much to himself. But he found books in the Library, sermons in the stones of Oxford, and good in everything. He read enormously; and he wandered, in his solitary, studious way, among the spots and the buildings which were rich in their associations of ancient times, recalling, as he went, the memories of the past, and in his own mind combining them and putting them together in coherent form.
While at Jesus, he contributed to the Oxford "Chronicle" a series of papers on "Oxford in the Eighteenth Century," which attracted some attention. He left college in 1859, without distinguishing himself particularly in the college course.
His rooms at Jesus are unknown; and the Hall-porter, in 1899, had never heard his name!
