Excerpt from The Last Forty Years, Vol. 1: Canada Since the Union of 1841
NE day, towards the end of the month of July, 1840, an English nobleman lay dying at Cowes, in the Isle of Wight. It had long been evident to those about him that his days were numbered. He came of an energetic, yet withal a somewhat short-lived race, and had inherited a feeble constitution, combined With a soaring but capri cions ambition, an irritable temper, a morbid egotism, and a fondness for hard work. He had from his boyhood suffered from an ungovernable tendency to fretfulness and worry, and an utter incapacity for possessing his soul in patience Whenever his too susceptible nature was wounded. These incongruous conditions had brought about their legitimate results, and the Right Honour able John George Lambton, first Earl of Durham, lay racked.
