FOWLER – SIR THOMAS. BART

Note:

IN THE BOOK ‘A PRIVATE MEMOIR OF SIR THOMAS FOWLER, BART.’ ASSEMBLED FROM MEMORIES OF, AND LETTERS FROM, SIR THOMAS, DESCRIPTIONS OF HIS LIFE AND TIMES ARE PRESENTED BY SIR ALFRED E. PEASE AND TOM’S SISTER LADY PEASE. THEY STATE  THAT  “TOM FOWLER WAS SO SIMPLY TRUE, HIS NATURE SO SIMPLY LOYAL, AND HIS LIFE SO SIMPLY MANLY, THAT MERE WORDS WOULD HIDE THE VERY THING THEY SOUGHT TO TELL. HIS LIFE WAS A PATIENT AND CHEERFUL DEVOTION TO DUTY, AND WAS LAID DOWN IN ITS PRIME IN THE DOING OF IT. HIS LETTERS SHOW HOW KEENLY HE FELT EVERY MISTAKE, EVERY LAPSE OF DUTY, EVERY UNNECESSARY SURRENDER, EACH LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY, AND EACH EXIBITION OF WANT OF ENTERPRISE AND COURAGE, AND EQUALLY HOW MUCH EACH ACT OF WANTON AND USELESS DESTRUCTION, EACH UNGENTLEMANLY ACTION IN DEALING WITH THE ENEMY HURT HIS PRIDE. AS A SOLDIER HE NEVER FORGOT TO BE A GENTLEMAN.”
