Arnold, the reformer of our modern school system, whom Oxford persecuted during life and honoured in death; and lastly, the clever crotchety Archbishop Whateley, who has not only proved that Napoleon Bonaparte never existed, but that Mr. Gibbon Wakefield's bankrupt schemes of colonization were triumphant successes.
It was Wakefield's unprecedented fate to retain his original share of human sympathies, and to be still involved in human interests, while he had lost his reciprocal influence on them. It would be a most curious speculation to trace out the effect of such circumstances on his heart and intellect, separately, and in unison.
But Wakefield's pride was severely hurt, and he answered disdainfully, "Take it all man take it all never make two bites of a cherry thou canst talk over the gentry, and blear a plain man's eye Out upon you, man I would not kiss any man's dirty latchets for leave to bake in his oven."
