. 'Christopher North', a memoir of John Wilson ... : compiled from family papers and other sources . , as the Oxford collegian, wi a pale face and a black toozy head, but an ee like an eagles; another with great alacrity, and apparently under the influence of high animal spirits. His com-plexion is very sanguineous, but nothing can be more intelligent, keen, and sagacious than theexpression of his whole physiognomy; above all, the gray eyes and eyebrows, as full of locomo-tion as those of Catalani.—Pete/* Letters, vol ii., pp. 1^7. 188, * It is said, with what truth I know not, that clever as Mr. Lockhart was with both pen andpencil, he lacked i-uriously one sift without which no man can be a successful barrister; he couldnot, like many other able writers, make a speech.

I amfortunate enough to be able to give the capital likeness on page 185, drawn by his own hand, in which the satirist who spared no one, lias most assuredly not been flattering to himself. Wilsons appearance in those days is thus described in PetersLetters by Mr. Lockhart:— In complexion he is the best specimenI have ever seen of the genuine or ideal Goth. His hair is of thetrue Sicambrian yellow; his eyes are of the brightest, and
