[1] One other great influence appears in the admirable Life of St Bernard, which he published in 1863, that of his friend Carlyle, to whom the work is dedicated, and with whose style it is strongly coloured.

Meanwhile, he had been a regular contributor, first to The Literary Gazette, edited by his friend John Morley, and then to The Saturday Review at its most brilliant epoch.

[1] Macaulay's bluff and strenuous character, his rhetorical style, his unphilosophical conception of history, were entirely out of harmony with Morison's prepossessions.

His brief sketch, Mme de Maintenon: une etude (1885), and some magazine articles, were the only fruits of his labours in French history.

They had three children: Theodore Morison, a principal of Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental College from 1899 to 1905 which later on became Aligarh Muslim University and member of the Council of India from 1906; and daughters Helen Cotter, and Margaret.
