" His intellectual qualities were undoabtedlv of an cxtraordiriarvkind. He had a quick apprehension, a retentive npmarv,a vivid invmnatiou. i and an inventive rmms OwlnoOwina: but little, to education. he had his mind quickened and informed by close observation, and stored it With a great variety of r knowledge concerning the systems of religion1 current in his daw or handed down . . by tradition from antiquity. His" ordinary conversation was grave and eententious, abounding with those aphorisms and apologues so popular among the Arabs; at times he was excited and eloquent, and his eloquence was aided by a voice musical and sonorous. lie was sober and absteuuqus in his diet, and a rigorous observer of faain. He iudalgeil in no magniflcance of apparel, the ostentation of a petty mind; neither was his simplicity ia dress affected, but the result of a real disregard tq disi:.,i: c ; : 1 iiuuuuu iiom 53 invai a source.
