But lightly laughed the stout Sir John, And the crew laughed with him too A sailor to change from ship to sled, I ween, were something new! All through the long, long polar day, The vessels westward sped; And wherever the sail of Sir John was blown, The ice gave way and fled: Gave way with many a hollow groan, And with many a surly roar.

Excerpt from Bentley's Miscellany, 1852, Vol. 31 He was equally conspicuous by the fearlessness and brilliancy of his oratory in support of the second Reform Bill, in the next session.

Excerpt from Bentley's Miscellany, Vol. 17 The afternoon sunlight fell upon the many turrets and spires, and quivered on the vanes and casements of the fine old buildings that then surrounded the carrefour.
