Excerpt from A Master Mariner
His memory was so trained that it could not only retain every figure and incident relating to numberless investments, but without hesitation deal with each separate transaction, referring to the book in which it was registered, and even the page on which it was entered. He was executor to many friends and members of the family, and was consulted by all his acquaintances for advice, and it was a source of pride to him to be able to say that he had ever proved himself a just and faithful steward of interests confided to his care.
