But he was careless and immethodical, like other men, about those things; and when I came to examine his papers, I found it with others still more trivial, from different people scattered here and there, while many letters and memorandums of real importance had been destroyed.
Making good use of the little time which we had at our disposal, we took the train and went up to see the City in which the Pope entombed himself a living mummy rather than to co-operate with the civilized world in building God's Kingdom on earth. In looking over my memorandums I have just discovered a description that I kept about the Eternal City.
But here is testimony that Dr. Whately himself would scarcely impugn: Dr. Forbes, in his "Memorandums made in Ireland" in 1852, visited Connaught, and examined many of the proselytizing schools.

Her father trusted to a faithful memory, and to vague and scarcely legible memorandums, and has left a very arduous task to any one who shall be named to the office. It occurred to me, that the best means of promoting your views was to recommend you to this office. You are not entirely without the antiquarian frenzy yourself.
'It is a very painful part of this painful business, said Major Melville, after a pause, 'that, under so grave a charge, I must necessarily request to see such papers as you have on your person.
