James Fitzjames, Captain H.M.S. Erebus. At one corner of the paper are the final words that, taken along with the stories of the Eskimos, explained the last chapter of the tragedy 'and start to-morrow 26th for Back's Fish River. M'Clintock did all that could be done.
When, however, in July 1878, it was determined to appoint a Commission to prepare a code for Parliament, Fitzjames said that he would be unable to undertake a laborious duty which would make practice at the bar impossible for the time, without some assurance of a judgeship.
It seems that the manners and customs of the northerners were decidedly less civilised than those of their brethren. A hard fight had to be fought before they could be raised to the desired level. In 1867 I find that Fitzjames proposed the abolition of the Circuit Court. He was defeated by twenty votes to fifteen; and marvels at the queer bit of conservatism cropping up in an unexpected place.
It was as impossible to wish that things should be otherwise as not to feel the profound pathos of the gentle close to long years of a most gentle and beautiful life. Fitzjames felt what such a son should feel for such a mother.

Carlyle responded very courteously and asked for further meetings. His view of my father was coloured by some of his usual severity, but was not intentionally disparaging. Fitzjames, on his first call, had been received by Mrs. Carlyle, who ordered him off the premises on suspicion of being an American celebrity hunter.
I quote from a letter written by my father during Fitzjames's academical career to show what was the relation at this time between the two men. My father dictates to my mother a letter to Fitzjames, dated January 19, 1849. 'You well know, he says, 'that I have long since surmounted that paternal ambition which might have led me to thirst for your eminence as a scholar.
I do not think that Fitzjames was ever much interested in economical writings; and here he is taking for granted the claims which were generally admitted under the philosophical dynasty of J. S. Mill.
The two parted at the door, and a hansom rapidly brought Brett to the residence of Sir Hubert Fitzjames. A stately footman took Reggie's card and its accompanying letter, placed them on a salver with a graceful turn of his wrist, which oddly suggested a similar turn in his nose, and said: "Miss Talbot is not at home, sir." "Yes, she is," answered Brett, paying the driver of the hansom.
'I do not love such people, but hate them, says Fitzjames; and I do not want to make them happy, because I could only do so by 'pampering their vices. Here, therefore, he reaches the point at which his utilitarian and his Puritanical prepossessions coincide.
