ery hope of reform from parliament vanished. 1680 Bigotry and tyranny prevailed more than ever, and Penn, despairing of relief in Europe, bent the whole energy of his mind to accomplish the establishment of a free government in the New World.

The sentiment of cheerful humanity was irrepressibly strong in his bosom; as with John Eliot and Roger Williams, benevolence gushed prodigally from his ever-overflowing heart; and when, in his late old age, his intellect was impaired, and his reason prostrated by apoplexy, his sweetness of disposition rose serenely over the clouds of disease.

ascribe the clemency of Virginia to the moderation of the church or spirit of the legislature. A careful consideration of the laws and other evidence, has left me no option but to form a different opinion. I know of no act of cruel persecution that originated among men who were settlers in Virginia. When left to themselves, from the days of John Smith, I think the Virginians were always tolerant. I have already quoted the important testimony of Whitaker, a man sincere and charitable like Eliot and Brainard. and of Shakspeare, rather than of Whitgift and Laud.

ons, they heard of the Nadowessies, the famed Sioux, who dwelt eighteen days journey farther to the west, beyond the Great Lake, then still without a name—warlike tribes, with fixed abodes, cultivators of maize and tobacco, of an unknown race and language. Thus did the religious zeal of the French bear the cross to the banks of the St. Mary and the confines of Lake Superior, and look wistfully towards the homes of the Sioux in the valley of the Mississippi, five years before the New England Eliot had addressed the tribe of Indians that dwelt within six miles of Boston harbor. The chieftains of the Chippewas invited the Chap. XX.} Jesuits to dwell among them, and hopes were inspired of a permanent mission. A council was held. We will embrace you, said they, as brothers; we will derive profit from your words.

He was famous for his political sermons; the Devil Let Loose, on the French Revolution; an Election sermon; a Eulogy on George Washington, and others. His daughter, Miss Lucy Osgood, wrote a memoir of Charlotte Ann Haven Brooks, and left many interesting letters written in a marked literary style. The Rev. Converse Francis published several orations, a History of Watertown, and Lives of John Eliot and Sebastian Rale for the Library of American Biography, 1795-1872. The Rev.
