imultaneously driven outward and inward. The crank-axles are at right angles with each other, so that each wheel is driven alternately. The cylinders are carried on a frame supported by the journals of the driving-wheels, so as not to be affected by the motion of the springs. The first locomotive run on rails outside of England was the Stourbridge lion, made by Stephen- son and brought from England for the Delaware and Hudson Canal and Railroad Company by Horatio Allen. This was in August, 1829. It was soon found that English locomotives, adapted for gentle curves, were ill suited for the exigencies of American railroads, where curves of as small a radius as 200 feet were sometimes employed. Mr. Peter Cooper, since so well and widely known, devised an engine which solved the difficulty. This was in 1829. The second locomotive built in the United States for actual service was for the South Carolina Railroad, and made its first regular trip in March, 1831. See Railway.

Chapter 3: the man begins his ministry. Some time in August, 1829, Garrison landed in Baltimore, and began with Lundy the editorship of The Genius of Universal Emancipation. Radical as the Park Street Church address was, it had, nevertheless, ceased to represent in one essential matter his anti slavery convictions and principles. The moral impetus and ground-swell of the address had carried him beyond the position where its first flood of feeling had for the moment left him. During the composition of the address he was transported with grief and indignation at the monstrous wrong which slavery did the slaves and the nation. He had not thought out for himself any means to rid both of the curse. The white heat of the address destroyed for the instant all capacity for such thinking. Who can be amazed, temperate, and furious — in a moment? No man. The expedition of his violent love outran the pauser reason He had accepted the colonization scheme as an instrument for removing the

it in the service of the Society. A year later the trustees made a report on the expediency of repairing the boat, and we can only guess that they had discovered that its condition had placed it beyond the desirability of repairs, for the society, after adjourning for a month, perhaps in order that the members might make personal examination of the boat, voted to appropriate fifty dollars for an entirely new one. It was not so easy, however, to provide suitable care for the boat, and in August, 1829, a committee of three prominent citizens was appointed to provide the quarters, which seem still to be unsecured. This committee reported that the best method would be to contract with Mr. Emery Willard to care for the boat. The advice of the committee was adopted, and the boat seems thereafter to have been kept by Mr. Willard. It passes from the records at least, and was no longer a cause for solicitude. The society seems to have been the original Cambridge board of health, and in

aroused on the slavery question, and he and Mr. Garrison took many a walk together on Boston Common, discussing anti-slavery projects. They also called upon a number of prominent ministers to secure their cooperation in the cause, and were sanguine in their expectations of important assistance from them. See Fourth Annual Report Mass. A. S. Society, 1836, p. 57, and Goodell's Slavery and Anti-slavery, p. 401. The Philanthropist and Investigator was temporarily suspended at the end of August, 1829, for want of funds. Two months later its publication was resumed, the Genius of Temperance having been united with it, and in July of the following year it was removed to New York; but after a time Mr. Goodell was compelled to relinquish the publication, owing to inadequate support. In June, Mr. Garrison accepted an invitation from the Congregational societies of the city to deliver a Fourth of July address at Park-Street Church, in the interests of the Colonization Society, and anno

1878. they could be for days and weeks and years, and so on, indefinitely, from generation to generation; and that the only way to deal with the system was to lay the axe at the root of the tree and demand immediate and Uncondi-Tional emancipation. This conviction forced itself upon his mind during the five or six weeks which elapsed between the delivery of his address and his departure for Baltimore, and when, after a fifteen days voyage by sea, he reached the latter city, some time in August, 1829, and presented himself to Lundy, he lost no time in acquainting his partner with the change in his views, and the necessity he should be under, if he joined him, of preaching the gospel accordingly. Well, said Lundy, who was not prepared to accept the new doctrine himself, thee may put thy initials to thy articles, and I will put my initials to mine, and each will bear his own burden. Very good, responded Garrison, that will answer, and I shall be able to free my soul. And thus the par

ca. German sentiment and romance were later to mean much to the poet; but Latin colour and picturesqueness meant more to the young traveller. France, Spain, where he met Irving, and Italy, from whose greatest writer his mature and declining years derived their chief solace, were in turn visited, their manners noted, their literatures studied, their languages in more than polite measure mastered. Then several months were given to Germany, including a little studying at Gottingen, and in August, 1829, the neophyte professor was back in America ready to take up the duties of his chair. Those duties occupied him until his second visit to Europe, which took place nearly six years later. He was a conscientious and successful teacher and compiler of text-books, he lectured on literary history, he wrote for The North American Review essays flavoured with scholarship, he gave a pledge to society by taking to himself, in 1831, a wife, Mary Storer Potter, of Portland.
