Excerpt from The Day-Book of John Stuart Blackie
A man of wide speculation and acquirement, very fearless, very kindly, without ill-humour, and without guile. Thomas Carlyle.
So genuine, so simple, so susceptible of a pure enthusiasm, so detached from self, so attached to things kindly, pure, and noble. William Ewart Gladstone.
It was impossible not to love him, not only for his fiery energy and determination to work out for good whatever power had been given him, but for the truly original purity of his nature. Sir Theodore Martin.
He always took, as I have attempted to take, the healthy estimate of life. George Meredith.
A man with a passion for truth. George Macdonald.
