Excerpt from The Life and Writings of Henry Thomas Buckle There was yet another to whom I am indebted, who now is but a memory on earth. A linguist, a scholar, acquainted with every branch of knowledge, and unrivaled in his own, Henry Huth took a par ticular pleasure in the society and speculations of Buckle, while common sympathies and mutual re gard soon cemented a warm friendship between them. It was natural that he should take an interest in the biography of so great a friend, and in the work of a son but only those who knew him could appreciate what delicate and generous a help it was his pleasure to supply. A premature death, when these pages were almost ready for the press, has spoiled the reader of the benefit oi. His revision, me of any plea sure in its publication.
