To Novar; back to Edinburgh and Kirklands, October 26th. Then to Abington on the 29th, and to Brougham amusing visit. I was asked to read Lord B.'s Memoirs, and dissuade him from publishing them. To Ambleside to see Harriet Martineau. Went over Old Park iron works. Home on November 11th. December 17th. We went to Chevening, and met there the Grotes, Milman, Lord Stanley, Scharf, and Hayward.
The new year opened at Chevening on a visit to Lord Stanhope. The party consisted of the Morleys, Hayward, Goldwin Smith, and afterwards the Grotes. I went to Chevening again in 1862; and for a third time, with Christine, in 1885; the host changed, but the same hospitality. We sent a round-robin to the Dean of Westminster, begging that Macaulay might be buried in the Abbey.
Unless I am very much mistaken, he'll make his mark, and we shall hear more of him. There were others dining there that night whom it is interesting to recall. The Grotes were there.

Dinner at Lansdowne House to the Comte de Paris and the Due de Chartres; Elgins, Holfords, Bishop of Oxford, Grotes, &c. From Lord Clarendon G. G., June 28th. I did not expect that any answer to the Eton article would be attempted, for it was unanswerable; the facts were real facts, and the moderation with which they were stated made them all the more telling.
He that has his hand well put in this mittaine; He shall have multiplying of his graine, When he hath sowen, be it wheat or otes; So that he offer good pens or grotes! Those who would prefer the thoughts of this father of English poetry, in a modern dress, are referred to the elegant versions of him, by Dryden, Pope, and others, who have done ample justice to their illustrious predecessor.
O'Curry doubts it having belonged to Brian Boru, and gives his reasons for believing that it was among the treasures of Westminster when Henry VIII. came to the throne in 1509, and that it suggested the placing of the harp in the arms of Ireland, and on the "harp grotes," a coinage of the period.
