Excerpt from The Life of Frederick Lucas, Vol. 1 of 2 And vigour. His smile was the sweetest, his laugh the most exhilarating, that I have met with; and the shyness mentioned above soon wore off in the company of young men, and was replaced: by an easy gaiety of demeanour that was delightful to all his associates. Long afterwards, however, he remained silent and reserved in the presence of strangers, and seldom addressed a lady Without blushing. There was, indeed, a bashfulness, an almost girlish modesty about him, which. Strikingly contrasted with the strength and manliness of his character, and with that dauntless courage for which he was at all times distinguished. When he began to speak, he at once commanded attention. Even at that early age he had acquired a large amount of miscellaneous knowledge, and had learned to express original views in fluent and for cible language. But his conversation. Was, perhaps, chiefly characterised by a constant flow of rich and genial humour, which held on its course so natur ally, and with so little effort, that the listener was carried away imperceptibly by it, and caught the joyous contagion almost before he was aware of it.

Excerpt from The Life of Frederick Lucas, M. P, Vol. 2 of 2 The Meath election being over, Lucas wrote a letter to Mr. Riethmuller, the following extracts from which will show with what feelings, and under what difficulties, in his own estimation, he was about to enter Parliament. He says: - "I go into the House of Commons to stand, I fear, very nearly alone, a member of an unpopular minority, an unpopular member of that minority, and disliked even by the greater number of the small party with which I am to act, and having cast upon me in a prominent manner the defence of the two noblest causes in the world - that of a religion which requires great learning to defend properly, and that of the most illtreated and (in all essential qualities of heart and character) the noblest population that ever existed on the face of the earth. I am very poorly and hurriedly describing to you what it is that weighs me down. But I think you will understand me. You talk of Burke and O'Connell; and indeed to do adequately what I ought to do would require a Burke or an O'Connell - that is, a man who, in an assembly of really able men, can stand alone, on his own resources and character, against every opposition from within and from without. I think my own course is the one I shall follow, and that you will disapprove. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
