Book excerpt: Excerpt from The London Quarterly Review, Vol. 138: January April, 1875 The Journal is contained in ninety-one manuscript volumes, or copy-books. It is broken by frequent chasms (one of eight or ten years), and it was discontinued some years prior to his retirement from his official ife. Shortly before his death, he was much troubled in his mind about the Journal: being undecided what to do with it, and apprehensive that portions ought not to see the light during the living generation, or the next, or not at all. He stated repeatedly that he did not feel equal to a complete re visal. He would occasionally take up a volume and make a correction or a note; and we could specify two important erasures suggested by one of the friends to whom the manuscript had been lent. Ou being reminded that he had been unjust to Lord Lyndhurst (with whom he had always lived in the closest intimacy), he said he really did not remember the passages in question, which (he added) must have been written long ago, and he intimated a wish that they should be struck out; which they would have been had he lived a few days longer. We shall call attention, ssws proceed, to many others which could not have escaped the carefully revising hand.
