Notes From a Diary: 1851-1872

Excerpt from Notes From a Diary: 1851-1872
Spent April and part of May at Eden, returning to London for about three months to read law. This summer I saw a good deal of Colonel Outram, heard with him several Indian discussions in the House of Commons, and was present with him and Mr. Willoughby, when Lord Hardinge gave his evidence before the Committee then sitting on Indian affairs.
July
10 to 12. At Hookwood with Mountstuart Elphinstone, who was living there in great retirement. I have unfortunately very brief notes of our conversations, in which Sir Charles Adam made the third. We talked of Epitaphs, and Mr. Elphinstone spoke with extreme admiration of Trivulzio's.
"Johannes Trivulzius qui nunquam quievit, hic quiescit - tace."
Amongst others which he cited was an old Scotch one.
"I'll to his freen, waur to his foe,
True to his Macker in weel and in woe."
