t the graduation exercises: July 19, 1845 . . The Exercises in the morning were . . . good; almost every fellow did better than I expected. ... Elderly ministers sniffed at radical sentiments, young ones smiled at conservative ditto, and Theodore Parker sneered (at least so imagined) at a severe criticism on Strauss. Affianced damsels looked down blushingly when their several betrotheds came up, and looked up smilingly when the same gentlemen went down. There were at least half a dozen ofe Ministerial Conference on Thursday. I wanted you there, for I felt that I was pleading our cause. There had been much discussion, with this question at the bottom of all — are we to be a sect or take a step toward catholicism? Channing and Parker had spoken for their contemporaries. I told them I rose to speak for the young, and showed how ill they had done their duty to us; how little they had done for us; how they had estranged us and made us feel alone. I showed that they had shown u

Dorcester, December 31, 1852 Last night Theodore Parker lectured here, and we tea'd with him; he ears later he wrote again in reference to Theodore Parker: I stayed at Mr. Parker's nominally,Mr. Parker's nominally, he being at the West, and luxuriated in his splendid library, the finest in Boston, I suppose; beyoare of those or not. We are all glad that Theodore Parker should be indicted; it must result in a td that you should not see the weakness of Theodore Parker's idea of preserving the Union for the slstion that shallowness of knowledge which Theodore Parker attributed to him, and everything in the n his monologues and cross-questionings. Theodore Parker is as wonderfully learned in books, and aally wanted; for instance, my piece about Theodore Parker lay nearly two months under a pile of ano

Twelve sometimes brings a lunch of pears and grapes and apples. ... It is the most lotus-eating life. I do not see how a person can be fit for anything after six weeks of it; what, then, must an imprisonment be?--a thought which comes naturally to my mind, since I have been reading the sheets of Mr. Parker's Defence, which he gave me, and which have recalled the times when I used to build visions occasionally of the inside of a jail. ... . We have had no calms or storms, and few wonders, though many beauties. One night dolphins sent lances of fire beneath our bows; yesterday we saw a shoal of great leathery blackfish rolling their broad bulk half out of water, and to-day a little shower of white foam-flakes across the distant trough of a wave was pronounced to be flying fish. ...

ts, but did not seek office. He was a very tower of strong will, solid judgment, shrewd forecast, sturdy common sense; sparing of words, yet a master of terse, homely English; simple and frugal in his habits, but charitable and hospitable in an unusual degree. He was one of John Pierpont's parishioners, at Hollis-Street Church, vigorously taking his part in the bitter conflict with the rum-selling and pro-slavery element of the congregation. Afterwards he rendered similar services to Theodore Parker. of the Rev. George B. Cheever, and others. We return to Mr. Garrison, who had still one powerful shaft in his quiver—the direct application of anti-slavery sentiment to the making and unmaking of political fortunes. At the annual meeting of the American Colonization Society in Washington in January, 1834, the Rev. Leonard Bacon charged the leaders of the anti-slavery movement with a design to make it a political party. I Lib. 4.22. have, he continued, reason to believe they mean

r the floor spreads a many hued carpet, put down by the fair hands of Mr. T. W. Higginson. . . . Parker is the only person I see—there are only one or two others of my class here, and no others I careays to be had in Brookline; and there was the same fascination in having long evening talks with Parker (now a law student) as in undergraduate days. Another diversion was attending mathematical ethe sermons for his wife to read, and she gave it her highest endorsement, pronouncing it a real Parker sermon! His clear enunciation and expressive way of reading the hymns also won praise. About txhausted and weary of soft speeches I got before night. All sorts of men from Dr. Parkman to Theo. Parker introduced themselves to me (some of them knew father)—and said all manner of things. . . . With Mr. Parker I had some excellent talk—he came out to hear me principally he said and was not disappointed—and he said some wise words of sympathy and encouragement. . . .

ncy used to forbid our showing any political preferences on public occasions, even on the popular side. The watchful mother, who had warned her son against Theodore Parker's radical sermons, thus wrote of his activity in politics:— And so you are fairly entered again on a political career—safe—because on the unpopular sided fancied his preaching days were over, he received in 1852 an invitation to take charge of a Free Church in Worcester, an organization which the influence of Theodore Parker had just brought into existence. This society was composed of radicals of all descriptions and as a whole was imbued with strong anti-slavery sentiments. Mro my own surprise, he wrote from Worcester in May, 1852, I find myself likely to assume the charge of a new Free Church in this city, on a plan resembling Mr. Parker's in Boston more nearly than any other. This is a very thriving and active place, materially, intellectually and morally; there is as much radicalism here as a<

and: but he could get more in other cities; in Providence $800 for three lectures! He is six feet four, at least, very sweet and manly, with a large head and bushy gray hair, almost white; looks 55. He has very little English hoarseness or awkward breadth of voice; a very good voice and enunciation; and no hauteur or coldness; was laboriously anxious to show me that he meant me no discourtesy by refusing our offer. He adds that Thackeray's greatest desire in this country was to see Theodore Parker. A saving quality through life was Mr. Higginson's keen sense of the ludicrous. He wrote to his Aunt Nancy:— Worcester, June 29, 1858. I spoke in Springfield on Sunday, to the Spiritualists so called. My name was paraded in the streets in the largest capitals I ever had as the Rev. T. W. H. the eminent clergyman, popular author (!!) and eloquent lecturer. Directly over it were the remains of a theatrical handbill in large letters The Fool of the family. Describing a

A Boston newspaper, reporting this incident, said of the accused clergyman:— He is a man of talent, a great enthusiast, and though he stands within the pale of Unitarianism, he is regarded as a suspicious character, theoretically speaking. His appearance in Court excited no little sensation. Some months later, in December, he wrote to his mother:— I am to be tried before the U. S. Court with Theodore Parker and others. . . . I rather think therefore that the other process (before the State court) will be withdrawn. I don't think they will expect anything, on either charge—but of the two I prefer to be tried on charge of violating the Fugitive Slave Law than for riotous and routous behavior. As the time drew near, his mother dreaded the horrid trial, and fearing that her son would be shut up for a year, came herself to the rescue. My impulsive young mother, he wrote, came down for an <
