I believe I wrote you that I had been made a member of the Antiquarian Society, American Antiquarian Society, established at Worcester, Mass. and one of the three on the Publishing Commitrt article on a curiosity in jurisprudence, The Number Seven.—the effusion of a couple of evenings,—which I trust may amuse you. I join with you in esteeming Wise's farewell address. It shows the want in his own case of some of that culture which he commends; but it is able, clear, and novel in its mode of presenting the im
