He prayeth well, who loveth well Both man and bird and beast. He prayeth best, who loveth best All things both great and small; For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all. I ask you not to imagine that I am led into the above sentiment by the lines I have just quoted,—the best of Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner,—but rather that I seize the lines to express and illustrate my feeling. This communication is made in the fulness of friendship and confidence. To your charity and continued interest in my welfare, suffer me to commend myself as Your affectionate friend, Chas. Sumner. P.

author of the Law of Contracts and other law treatises. for the plaintiff, in the case of Pelby v. Barry, tried in the Supreme Judicial Court before Mr. Justice Morton, Evening Mercantile Journal, Dec. 24, 25, 1835. —a novel action exciting public interest, in which the plaintiff sought, by applying the rule governing the relation of master and servant, to recover damages against the defendant for enticing Miss Kerr and other actors from his service. It was held in England, in 1853 (Coleridge, J., dissenting), that such an action was maintainable. Lumley v. Gye, 2 Ellis and Blackburn's Reports, p. 216; Lumley v. Wagner, l De Gex, Macnaghten & Gordon's Reports, p. 604. He made quite a full opening argument, covering, as was usual with him, a wide range, which included a review of the drama, and particularly melodrama, this being the specialty of the actors enticed by the defendant; bespeaking the favor of the jury for his client, as the weaker party, and entreating them not to

mstances the most agreeable and flattering to myself. Sumner's fancy for collecting autographs was developed at this period. He was supplied with many by Kenyon, Morpeth, Sir David Brewster, Hayward, Talfourd, Brown, Miss Martineau, and the Montagus. These, together with others, some rare and costly, which he purchased late in life, and notes written to himself by distinguished persons, he bequeathed to Harvard College. Kenyon gave him those of Southey, Faraday, Landor, Miss Mitford, Coleridge, Malthus, and Thomas Campbell. Sumner's success in English society was due to the same characteristics which had secured for him at home strongly attached friends, as well among his seniors as among persons of his own age. He had the genuineness and enthusiasm which always charm, alike in the oldest and the newest society. His rare intelligence on all topics most interesting to Englishmen,— their history, politics, law, and literature, and the personal life of their authors and public

Patteson, who appears to stand next after Baron Parke in point of judicial reputation, is still young, John Patteson, 1790-1861. He was made a judge of the King's Bench in 1830; resigned on account of deafness in 1852, and sat five years after his resignation on the judicial committee of the Privy Council. His second wife was the sister of his colleague, Sir John Taylor Coleridge. See reference to him in Life of Lord Denman, Vol. I. p. 330.—that is, near fifty; he is about as deaf as Mr. Ashmun was, and yet Lord Denman says that he would not spare him for a good deal. Patteson was much annoyed by the report some time ago of his intended resignation. Travellers', Sunday, July 15. Have I told you the character of Mr. Justice Vaughan? John Vaughan, 1768-1839. He became a baron of the Exchequer in 1827, and a judge of the Common Pleas in 1834. He

He regarded him as the first artist of the age, and was attached to him by two-fold relations,—first, as his own friend, and then as the affectionate friend of Coleridge. Coleridge and Allston became intimate friends at Rome, between 1804 and 1808. Sumner referred, in his oration of Aug. 27, 1846, to their intimacy at this time. Works.

He was pleased when I told him that the Ticknors had arrived safely among their friends, and spoke of them in a manner that did my heart good. He asked me to spare a line in one of my letters to convey to them his affectionate regards. He added that such a line might be dull and uninteresting to them. I ventured to reply that it would be to them and their friends the most interesting part of my letter. I rely upon your conveying to Allston and the Ticknors the ki
