Excerpt from Chapters From My Official Life

The reader will be sure to notice how frequently the author speaks of people as being interesting, delightful, or excellent. This touch reveals Sir Rivers' own character, for to him every one was a good fellow. He was the most kind-hearted and generous of men, and always ready to do his friends a good turn, and he suffered acutely when he met with any unkindness or ingratitude. His nature was sensitive and responsive, and the way in which he carried out his work and still retained the friendship of those who, like the Khedive Ismail, had suffered through his strong sense of duty and justice, proves him to have been a diplomatist of rare distinction.
