I had hoped that the MS. of the Memoir of Sir R. P. Stewart, which I have been engaged upon for more than two years, would by this time have been published; but for one reason I am glad of the delay, for the statue just erected to Stewart's memory is to receive its inauguration a week hence at the hands of His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, on Leinster Lawn, one of the best sites in Dublin, and to which the public there has liberally contributed. This important remembrance seemed rightly to claim the first place as an enduring memorial of the lamented professor, which those “who run can read” at a glance; whilst a memorial in the shape of a book requires some hours of leisure to peruse and some spare cash to procure. But I now hope that the publication of the Memoir of the lamented professor which I have written may not be much further postponed.
