     He is described as "a theologian, a professor, a man of letters, a member of Society.

He collected an enormous library at Aldenham, but considering he was the most learned and widely read man of his day, he left singularly little work behind him ... He was enobled on the recommendation of Mr. Gladstone, whom he adulated, and followed and encouraged in his political divagations. He made no mark on in either House of Parliament."¹ The Times obituary read, "a decided indolence of disposition, a certain mental timidity, a distinct want of national fibre, were his main imferpections."¹ He has an extensive biographical entry in the Dictionary of National Biography.³
