The Autobiography of a Journalist, Volume I

The drawing by Rowse was done about 1856, so that the interval between its doing and that by author’s daughter in 1900 included all the active period of his life, unless the author excepts the Hungarian expedition. When the Rowse drawing was executed, Lowell said of it", You have nothing to do for the rest of your life but to try to look like it". Since that time every friend the author had, except Rowse and Norton, is gone where he must soon follow.
