Sir Morell Mackenzie; physician and operator; a memoir compiled and ed from private papers and personal reminiscences . uished nobleman, a fluent orator, 288 LAST GLIMPSES. and what Macanlay used to term, a man ofgenius and sensibilitij, the committee hadalso had the good fortune to select an out-spoken admirer, and a sincere friend of SirMorell Mackenzie. I have heard Sir Morell himself speak betterthan on that night; he may have been a littlein doubt about what to say and what not to sayas he looked around him, and remembered thecross-fire of criticism which at that verymoment he was being subjected to outside thehouse. With a knowledge that every word helet drop at such a time would be analyzed andcommented upon by friend and foe, perhaps hepicked his words a little at the expense ofthat light-hearted spontaneity which makes thecharm of after-dinner oratory. But the dinner,socially and financially, was a great success,and it is pleasing to remember that upon thislast great public occasion of his life the interestsof the hospital, which he had created, were notseparated from his own personal END. +lf;+!l!l!}H^!+•+;+;^•!lH;l;l;fiiiiiJ•lf;+•+•4;4•4;4:4^l;l;^-:j^4^f^
