their inherited gifts t o n math,

Mr». Di«k«u» seems
not to h art been a mother of

possessed these admirqble qual­
ities of mind aad heart which
one can clearly recognize aa
having borne fruit in the great­

discover, she exercised no in­
fluence upon him at all. Her
name hardly appears In his. bi­
ographies. He never, that 1 een

correspondence; only refers to
her on the rarest occasions. And
perhaps, on the whole, thia U
not to be wondered at, if wa ac­
cept the constant tradition that
she had, unknown to herself,
sat to her son for the portrait
of Mrs. Nickleby, and suggested
to him the main traits in the
character of that inconsequent
and not very wise old lady.
Mrs. Nickleby, I take it, was
n ot th« kind o f Derson calculated
to form the mind of a boy of
genius. As well might one ex­
pect some very domestic bird to
tench an eaglet to fly."
And so, wa do not haue—the-
