This son, Earl Daniel, was an honourable and virtuous man.

Though enslaved by some absurd prejudices, and though liable to strange fits of caprice, he cannot be accused of having deviated from the path of right in search either of unlawful gain or of unlawful pleasure.

Like his father he was a distinguished speaker, impressive, but prolix, and too monotonously solemn.

The person of the orator was in perfect harmony with his oratory.

His attitude was rigidly erect--his complexion so dark that he might have passed for a native of a warmer climate than ours; and his harsh features were composed to an expression resembling that of a chief mourner at a funeral.
