Sir Richard Wallace was the very type of a gentleman of the highest breeding rather stern, melancholy, not at all humorous, and incapable of vulgarity or pretence. In December Reeve was proposing to have a review of Sir Mountstuart Grant Duff's 'Life of Sir Henry Maine, and consulted the author as to who would be the best fitted to write it.
