    It was slow in operation, being little aided by invention or imagination, but sure in conclusion.

    But if deranged during the course of the action, if any member of his plan was dislocated by sudden circumstances, he was slow in readjustment.

    Perhaps the strongest feature in his character was prudence, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed; refraining if he saw a doubt, but, when once decided, going through with his purpose, whatever obstacles opposed.

    His integrity was most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known, no motives of interest or consanguinity, of friendship or hatred being able to bias his decision.

    His temper was naturally high toned; but reflection and resolution had obtained a firm and habitual ascendency over it. If ever, however, it broke its bonds, he was most tremendous in his wrath.

    In his expenses he was honorable, but exact; liberal in contributions to whatever promised utility; but frowning and unyielding on all visionary projects and all unworthy calls on his charity.

    His heart was not warm in its affections; but he exactly calculated every man's value, and gave him a solid esteem proportioned to it.

    Although in the circle of his friends, where he might be unreserved with safety, he took a free share in conversation, his colloquial talents were not above mediocrity, possessing neither copiousness of ideas, nor fluency of words.

    In public, when called on for a sudden opinion, he was unready, short and embarrassed. Yet he wrote readily, rather diffusely, in an easy and correct style.

    His time was employed in action chiefly, reading little, and that only in agriculture and English history. His correspondence became necessarily extensive, and, with journalizing his agricultural proceedings, occupied most of his leisure hours within doors.

    These appear to be curious and particularly type-related... thought there might be a bit of bias of the writer.

    Based on this, he seems like a Tj type, and probably S too.

    But ISFj typing is also likely based on other sources of him.
