n his historical researches. In a note of Feb. 22, 1839, he invited Sumner to breakfast with him at 1 Woburn Buildings, Tavistock Square, saying: I will give you a scholar's cup of tea and plenty of literary resources to regale your sight with. the author of the article in the Edinburgh Review. Jan., 1839, Vol. LXVIII. pp. 376-405. I met him at a dinner at Adolphus's, where also was Macaulay, just returned from Italy. He arrived in London early in February, having left for Italy the October previous Gayangos, you know, is a Spaniard, and was Professor of Arabic at Madrid. He is a fine-looking person, with well-trimmed moustaches, and has married a talkative English wife. He is about forty, and has a proper Spanish gravity. We talked a great deal of Prescott's book; and he seemed never to tire in commending it. He voluntarily explained to me the reason for the absence of certain things in his article. As a foreigner, he was unwilling to commend the style which he admired, f

bors was unfeigned; and he hoped that, if ever you came to England, you would take a note from me to him, that he might have the pleasure of making your personal acquaintance. In personal appearance and manners, he is much the gentleman. He has a considerable place near Exeter, where he has built ornamental walls and houses in imitation of some of those old Moorish remains which he so loved in Spain. His article was to appear this June, but I should not be surprised if it went over till October. On the receipt of your letter I wrote him from Rome, to let him know that a large number of corrections had been made in the recent American edition. I also wrote Bentley, whom I saw when in London, communicating your wishes. It is a far cry across the Atlantic Ocean, and not a short one from Rome; but I thought the two together—your Western call and my halloo from the East—would certainly be heard in Burlington Street. In London I met a Spaniard, Gayangos, ante,Vol. II. p. 64. an e

f art, a friend of America, and an amiable man. He will visit Rome in the course of the summer with his wife, who is a granddaughter of Priestley. You have doubtless already seen my friend Kenyon; and I feel sure you must have been pleased with him. I am anxious—I say, freely, on your own account, as well as on his—that you should become acquainted with Parkes. I think his conversation will be interesting to you. Take him to the Capitol, St. Peter's, &c. He will be in Rome in September or October, I think,—will pass two or three weeks. Would that I could be with you! Do not fail to take him to Crawford. I sail from Portsmouth the 4th of April, with Cogswell, Willis, and wife, and sister-in-law, as fellow-passengers. When this reaches you, I shall be tossing on the ocean. What talks I shall have with friends at home! and Rome and Italy will not be forgotten. I well remember those three months in that Matron-City,—take them all in all, and though shadowed as they were with gri

pleasure of seeing them. Give my best regards to Grosch, Dr. Lambert Grosch, a law pupil of Professor Mittermaier, and a magistrate, who died in 1875. and tell him that I am his debtor for a long and most interesting letter, and that I shall write him very soon. You have a young American—Shaw—at Heidelberg. How does he do? Believe me ever, my dear friend, most truly and sincerely yours, Charles Sumner. P. S. Your article on criminal legislation in Germany was published in the October number of the American Jurist. It has been read with great satisfaction. When shall we have the continuation? To Dr. Francis Lieber, Columbia, S. C. Boston, Dec. 10, 1840. Don't, dear Lieber, be offended by my long silence. I am in the midst of my profession; for the last two days have been all the time in court; and for the last two months, besides attending to my professional business, printing the third volume of my Reports. . . . Behold me now, dear Lieber, in the tug and swea

hile the vessel which bore home his much-loved friend steamed down the harbor. During this year he greatly missed Longfellow, who, in search of health, made a six months visit to Europe,—extending from April to November. Dr. Channing died in October. To Sumner this was a personal loss; for, during the year, he had been brought into closer relations than before with this divine, and felt more than ever the power of his moral nature. He saw in his death, too, a far wider bereavement than fae far-off scenes. Felton has just left me, and sends his cordial regards. We have been sad at parting with Longfellow. He sailed from New York for Havre on 27th April, to pass the summer at a watering-place on the Rhine, and to return home in October. When will the Orpheus be finished? Pray tell me all about it as the work proceeds, and how you are satisfied with it. Where does Greene live now? Give him my love. He must write to some of us. Ever sincerely yours, Charles Sumner. T

fghanistan. I have received your paper on The Pilgrims. So far as I have read it, it seems carefully prepared, elaborate, and learned, and I think among the antiquarians of New England will do you great credit when published. We are all hoping that you have given up your chateaux en Espagne, and that we may have the pleasure of greeting you soon. To Lord Morpeth. Boston, March 31, 1843. my dear Morpeth,—. . . Mrs. Chapman Her husband, Henry G. Chapman, died the previous October. seemed much gratified by your message, which I had great pleasure in delivering. She appeared cheerful and happy; though I inferred, from what she said, that she had suffered much. She alluded to Longfellow's little pieces in the volumes which you have,—The Light of Stars, and The Goblet of Life,—as having strengthened her to bear her lot. . . . You will read the correspondence of Cass with Webster, who is as powerful as he is unamiable. Cass's sentences are weak and vague, while Web<

ieber also stated frankly his dissent. But no expression of opposite views troubled Sumner so much as Horace Mann's. He had counted on the sympathy of one so deeply interested in the welfare of mankind. Mr. Mann questioned Sumner's definition of war, maintaining that it had been sometimes waged, as by Holland against Spain, to repel injustice, not to establish justice; and that the Poles and Southern negroes would, with an even chance of success, be justified in an appeal to arms. In October, a reply to the oration,—a pamphlet of thirty-one pages,—well written and trenchant in style, was published in Boston without a name. The author treated logically Sumner's positions, and contended also, with ample reference to the examples of history, that war is not an unmixed evil. The Boston Post also contained a long article from a correspondent in reply to the oration. August 21. Paixhan. It may be mentioned, too, that the next city orator, Fletcher Webster, expressed sentiments t
