Text Appearing Before Image:
tiveness appears to have been well developed, andof that character which tends to provoke discussion. He evi-dently j^laced a high estimate upon his own opinions. HumanNature is conspicuous. Benevolence was large, and Venera-tion was moderate. That is an open, unconcealed, and out-spoken countenance. ^ Henry Thomas Buckle was born at Lee, England, November 24. 1822.His father, being a wealthy merchant, educated him liberally. In 1840bis father died, leaving an ample fortune, which enabled him to indulgea natural taste for study. In 1857 he published the first part of the workwhich renders his name distinguished, the History of Civilization inEngland, and later, in 1861, a second volume appeared. So secluded hadbeen his life, and so assiduous his application, that Mr. Buckles healthbecame impaired to such a degree that he died May 28, 1862, at Damascus,Syria, while on an Eastern tour for his health. His work is regarded as ofstandard value by many, but is severely criticised by others.

THE DELINEATOR OF LIFE. 721 THE DELINEATOR OF LIFE AND CHARACTER. Charles Dickens head is broader and his mind more etherealin its tendencies than that of Buckle. Possessing large percep-tives and a well-developed reflective intellect, he is at once theclose observer andthe shrewd reasoner.Comparison, HumanNature, Mirthfulness,and Ideality are lead-i n g characteristics.He should excel inthe graphic delinea-tion of character andin the description ofscenery, evincinggrace and skill, witand humor. Lan-guage is very con-spicuous. He is well-fitted for an artist, beit the limner or theword painter* Mr.Dickens has dash—and is racy and sen-sational.
