To the affable Archangel of Abbotsford ; and hundreds of instances are on record of the real kindness which he showed them, — a kindness all the more valuable that he was strictly honest in his judgments and faithful in his strictures, although mild and measured in his expressions. Merciful to all, he never praised any in whom he did not per- ceive real merit. Ingratitude his placid nature HIS CONTEMPORARIES. 195 prepared for, and would have forgiven ; but in- gratitude, unless from Hogg in one... of his wild, senseless moods, which he lived himself to regret, he never met. He had the art of sheathing the sting of his censure in such honeyed phrases that it was scarcely felt, or, as the Irishman has it, — * He kicked them down-stairs with such a good grace, That they thought he was handing them up. ' It were well if all who in a lesser but still a large measure are pestered with sucking writers, and feel the penalty rather greater than the honour, could take a leaf out of the master's book, and be enabled to imitate his inward honesty and his outward bon- homie.
