d of truth, said he; I will give you leave to call me idiot, if there is a word of truth. You know he was ambassador at the court of St. Petersburg for a long time. He said that Russia was full of friendly regard for England; and he pronounced Urquhart, David Urquhart, 1805-1877; M. P. for Stafford in 1847. who is now going about the kingdom preaching against Russia, a madman. With regard to Lockhart, he expressed himself in terms not less distinct.

With regard to Lockhart, he expressed himself in terms not less distinct. He said that he had never seen him; but, from all that he had heard of him, he thought him one of the greatest blackguards in England. I happened to tell a story that I had heard from Lord Brougham: he looked me in the eye, and asked my authority for it.
