As president of the Musical Society he was full of tact, and acted the part of general conciliator in all the numerous squabbles, jealousies, and heart-burnings incidental to such associations.
He had no communication with her for three days, during which time he frequently spoke to me of suspicions which his imagination converted into certainty; and threats of divorce escaped his lips with no less vehemence than when we were on the confines of Syria. I took upon me the office of conciliator, which I had before discharged with success.
It is history and authentic; and surely, there is nothing greater, nothing more reverence-compelling in the history of any country, ancient or modern. And in memory of the greatest man Australasia ever developed or ever will develop, there is a stately monument to George Augustus Robinson, the Conciliator in no, it is to another man, I forget his name.
His early infirmities closing the career of arms to him, he became addicted to politics he cultivated his mind he studied history he wrote well, and foreseeing the approaching downfall, he predicted the probable death of Louis XVI. he believed in the vicissitudes of the Revolution, and prepared himself to become the pacificator of his country, and the conciliator of the throne and liberty.

The French minister at Berne, "a powerless conciliator of the divided parties," as Bonaparte called him, received secret instructions from him.
This was George Augustus Robinson, called in history "The Conciliator." He was not educated, and not conspicuous in any way. He was a working bricklayer, in Hobart Town. But he must have been an amazing personality; a man worth traveling far to see. It may be his counterpart appears in history, but I do not know where to look for it.
