His poems are elegant, but not remarkable. His lectures on "The Philosophy of History" were evidently written with political and religious purposes.
His lectures were frequented by students from every part of the world, and his admirable management of the collection intrusted to his care was a commonplace in all learned societies. There was, therefore, considerable surprise when, at the age of fifty-five, he suddenly resigned his position and retired from those duties which had been both his livelihood and his pleasure.
