His mind and character were of an original cast, and he made a strong impression on the friends who knew him well. Sumner was in closer intimacy with him at this period than with any other companion, and felt the spell of his peculiar character and temperament. Of all my classmates, said Sumner, in a tribute to Browne at the time of his death, in 1860, I think he gave in college the largest promise of future eminence; mingled, however, with uncertainty whether the waywardness of genius might not betray him. None then imagined that the fiery nature, nursed upon the study of Byron, and delighting always to talk of his poetry and life, would be tamed to the modest ways which he afterwards adopted.

His manuscripts, containing researches on the Indians of the Northwest, are deposited in the Smithsonian Institution. Sumner, in his Sketch of the Law School, referred to Gibbs's

I have been more pleased with his wife, than with any other lady I have met in England. You know she is the daughter of Lord Abinger, and is a peeress in her own right, by the title of Lady Stratheden. She was married to Sir John Campbell in 1821; was made a peeress in her own right in 1836, with the title of Baroness Stratheden; and died in 1860. See reference to her being raised to the peerage in Life of Lord Denman, Vol. II. p. 27. She is beautiful, intelligent, and courteous. The Attorney-General has invited me to meet him at Edinburgh, when he goes down to present himself to his constituents. This morning, Lord Bexley Nicholas Vansittart, 1766-1851.
