Memoir. always look with pride upon these fragments not onlj as striking achievements in themselves but as containing the promise of work of the highest order. But it is not of his literarj activity that thej will think first when they recall his memory. What he did, even what he might have done, is quite overshadowed by the recollection of what he was. It is impossible in a few pages to give even a complete outline of a character at once so strongly individual and so wonderfully many-sided. Whatever may be said here, everyone who knew him well is sure to miss something. If it were intended to place these pages in the hands of strangers, they would indeed be sadly inadequate as an account of him. But this book is intended only for friends. Their loving memory may be relied upon to fill up the details of the imperfect picture. The outward events to be recorded are very few. For the first nineteen years of his life he was bom on the 4th May, 1863 Montefiore lived almost entirely at home. His education was unlike that of the ordinary public-school boy. There was less Latin and Greek and far more general reading, especially in modem literature. Of German he was always peculiarly fond and from early boyhood he spoke it with the same fluency and almost the same correctness as his native tongue. A nother rspect in which he difibred from boys brought up at school was his dislike of sports. The love of physical exercise is either developed or created in ninety-nine boys out of every hundred who go to a public school. Montefiore, though he was strongly built and had an almost excessive admiration of manly strength and beauty in others, was himself averse to exercise, whether it took the shape of games or field sports, except to the extent absolutely requisite for health.
