All rights reserved. 226. i. 568. I INSCRIBE THIS VOLUME TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE Sir Henry Marion Burand, K.C.S.I. A MAN WHO COMBINED A RARE GREATNESS OF SOUL AND A PERFECT GENIUS FOR AFFAIRS WITH SIMPLICITY OF MANNERS, DIRECTNESS OF PURPOSE, AND A DETESTATION OF ALL THAT IS MEAN AND FALSE. AS WISE IN COUNSEL AS HE WAS PROMPT AND DECIDED IN ACTION, HE MET ALL THE STORMS OF LIFE WITH FORTITUDE, RENDERING EVER, ALIKE BY HIS ACTION AND HIS EXAMPLE, UNSURPASSED SERVICES TO HIS COUNTRY. AFTER A SERVICE FULL OF HONOUR, extendING OVER FORTY-TWO YEARS, HE DIED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS DUTY. 66 HE LEFT A REPUTATION WITHOUT SPOT-THE BEST HE COULD BEQUEATH TO HIS CHILDREN." INHERITANCE |
