He studied law but pretty soon became a banker.

Soon after he took up his residence in Italy, where I suppose he is living now.

He produced some serious poetry which he read to some college societies.

I hope for the credit of the class and for the country and his name he may have done something in later years which will be given to the world.

It is said, I know not how truly, that he was for many years a near neighbor and intimate friend of Browning.
