This whole book of De Morgan's seems to me full of instruction.
He was full of reverence for the great scholars and the great leaders of men he had come to know. 'Great, noble fellows they are, and extraordinarily modest, he said 'that is, the really great are modest. There are plenty of the other sort, neither great nor modest. And the books to be read! I am quite hopeless about my reading.
"It will not be possible for me to make a success of these negotiations with the French," he exclaimed ruefully, "because whatever I do these two men will find it out and disparage it in every way they can.

But, although his knowledge in this field was of uncommon quality and amount, it does not seem to have surpassed his acquisitions in science. Again he says, in regard to his treatise "De Perspectiva," or On Optics, "Why should I conceal the truth?
