ition of primogeniture, the reduction of the great estates of the aristocracy, and the reform of representation in the House of Commons: resistance to such changes, he thought, would involve great social and political disturbances. Lord Morpeth, he said, once asked me where I should find myself, if I were an Englishman. I unhesitatingly replied: A moderate Radical,—much like the Examiner newspaper. The letter also refers to interviews with Leader, Sir William Molesworth, and George Grote, 1794-1871,—the last being described as a most remarkable man, a scholar of great acquirements. Both Sir William and Mr. Grote entertained Sumner at dinner. The former gave him a book which had belonged to Dr. Parr. And now for Italy! As ever, affectionately yours, Charles Sumner. To George S. Hillard. Saturday, March 9, 1839. This is a continuation of the letter of Feb. 16 and March 1, ante, Vol. II. pp. 59, 66. my dear Hillard,—I have just got to my lodgings, after what I intend<

His name first became familiar to the public in the seventh year of his call to the bar, when he delivered an elaborate argument in behalf of Somerset, a negro, before the King's Bench, in Hilary Term, 1772, to prove that domestic slavery could not be enforced in England.

His appearance at the bar seems to have been confined to a few important causes, while the rewards and honors which it offers to its favorites eluded his grasp. In
