task the full energies of the loyal people, with possible reverses at the beginning, with alternations of victory and defeat, with prolonged suspense, but with certain and absolute triumph at the end, crowned and glorified by the abolition of slavery. Works, vol. v. pp. 449-467, where Sumner's letters to Governor Andrew and others at this time are given. His letter to Rev. E. E. Hale, dated Dec. 30, 1860, was read by the latter at Faneuil Hall, March 14, 1874. The North American Review (1879), vol. CXXIX. pp. 125, 375, 484, gives anonymous reminiscences from The Diary of a Public Man, some of which describe interviews with Sumner at the time. They are manifestly false in certain points, and as a whole, like all anonymous testimony, entitled to no credit. They are the subject of criticism in G. T. Curtis's Life of Buchanan, vol. II. pp. 391, 395. His faith did not spring from natural buoyancy of spirits; it was not assumed in order to encourage his countrymen or keep foreign po

s, grateful that one whom they had long known and honored was with their brother in his last hours. The dean, when the remains had been deposited in the ancient burial-place of the Bruces in Scotland, sent Sumner a picture of the Abbey Church at Dunfermline, where, as he said, on the day of interment, the eye rested on the Frith of Forth, the distant hills, and the Castle of Edinburgh,—all radiant with the sunshine in which he [Sir Frederick] so delighted, and of which he was so full. In 1879 Dean Stanley went with the writer about Westminster Abbey, and taking him to the chapel where Lady Augusta had been laid in 1876, pointed to some carvings on the wall commemorative of the Bruce family, saying, You will see a ship there; it is bearing home from Boston the body of Sir Frederick Bruce. The interviewer was at this time beginning his visits, and Sumner was one of his early victims. James Redpath published in a Boston newspaper Sumner's free comments on his associates in the S

correspondent in the New York Tribune, Feb. 7, 1873. One day he passed at Chantilly, where the Due d'aumale, whom he had known in England, drove him in the grounds, and showed him in the chateau the gallery of the battles of Conde. Here he met again the Count of Paris, his visitor at Washington in the Civil War, and since then his correspondent. He received invitations to dine from M. de Caubert, dean of the civil tribunal of Rouen, and from his old friend Madame Mohl. M. Chevalier (1806-1879), then absent from Paris, expressed in a letter to Sumner his regret that they were not to meet. He had an interesting conversation with Gambetta; The New York Herald, Nov. 27. 1872, reports an interview with the senator, in which he conversed concerning Thiers, Gambetta, the French people, John Bright, and civil service reform. but while admiring the patriotism of that French leader, Sumner discerned his limitations. Gambetta said, What France most needs at the present tine is a Jefferso
