time it was believed that Buller wrote Lord Durham's famous " See also:Report on the affairs of See also:British See also:North See also:America." However, this is now denied by. sevetai authorities, among them being Durham's biographer, Stuart J. See also:Reid, who mentions that Buller described this statement as a " groundless assertion " in an See also:article which he wrote for the Edinburgh See also:Review. Nevertheless it is quite possible that the " Report " was largely drafted by Buller, and it almost certainly bears traces of his See also:influence. Buller was a very talented See also:man, witty, popular and generous, and is described by Carlyle as " the genialest See also:radical I have ever met." Among his intimate See also:friends were See also:Grote, See also:Thackeray, Monckton Milnes and See also:Lady See also:Ashburton. A bust of Buller is in See also:Westminster See also:Abbey, and another was unveiled at Liskeard in 1905. He wrote " A See also:Sketch of Lord Durham's See also:mission to Canada," which has not been printed.
