d, 1859. Your package arrived on Saturday evening, but Theodore Parker had the start of you. He had sent me the sermon the Thursday before, accompanied by a brief little farewell note in pencil, which I shall treasure among my sacred relics; for my heart misgives me that I shall never look upon that Socratic head again. I read the sermon, forthwith, to Mr. Child, and a jewel of a sermon we both thought it. Though not a farewell discourse, it seems to have a farewell sadness about it. ... Newman's book on The Soul seemed to me a very admirable work. The Phases of Faith pleased me by the honesty of its confessions, and I read it with all the eagerness we all so naturally feel to arrive at the inmost spiritual secrets of another soul; but the conclusion left me very uncomfortable. It seemed, as the collegian said in his theme, to land me in the great ocean of eternity. I had travelled so far, and so confidently, with him, to arrive-nowhere! I cannot say, as Lessing did, that if Go

Mr. Darwin has a great desire to come to America, but never will, because of the voyage. Lunched with Miss Anna Swanwich the translator of Aeschylus, with F. W. Newman translator of Homer, a quaint small long-faced man, with an American look. Afterwards went to meet Browning at the Athenaeum Club—one of the desires of my former visit, unfulfilled then. Of this meeting, which is fully described in Cheerful Yesterdays, Colonel Higginson said that Browning was very cordial, yet I felt it more the general temperament of the man than from any personal interest. Then I went into a Cooperative meeting for a while—working men, who all dropped the

containing Mr. Newman's letter. He took it away with him; and when F. W. Newman. he brought it back next day, he expressed strong surprise,— well as he knows Mr. Newman,—at the absurdity, and regret at the tone of that letter. . . . Professor Cairnes and I were anxious each to know what the other thought of Mr. Lincoln, and of right and wise I and many other Englishmen think the course you have taken upon the question of supporting Mr. Lincoln for reelection. I was much pained by Professor Newman's letter to you; still more by the line which many of the leading American abolitionists have taken upon the question, and by the tone they have thought fit Mr. Lincoln is in advance of his party on the question of negro suffrage. Not in advance of all, but of the majority. Ms. May 5, 1864. In his reply to Professor Newman, who had especially dwelt upon the Louisiana question, and condemned the President for not enfranchising the colored men of that State, Mr. Garrison asked:

States, in which he came very near to Buchanan's, was no less objectionable. He wrote Mr. Adams, our minister at London, April 10, two days before the bombardment of Fort Sumter, that the federal government could not reduce the seceding States to obedience by conquest, and that only an imperial and despotic government could subjugate thoroughly disaffected and insurrectional members of the State,—an unfortunate declaration, which misled European powers as to our system of government. F. W. Newman's Miscellanies, vol. III. p. 196; London Morning Star, May 11, 1869. Seward's character was complex; it is difficult to understand it, and it is possible to misjudge him. At the outset as secretary he opposed the relief of Fort Sumter, and continued to oppose it against the positive opinions of his associates,—Chase, Blair, and Welles. On April 1 he submitted to the President, without the latter's invitation, what is justly called an extraordinary state paper, unlike anything to be

ed million pounds sterling, or required an abject apology, but that what he said was that England's action had in some measure been the occasion of an enormous loss, and that there had never been on her part any expression of national regret. F. W. Newman, writing to the London Morning Star, May 11, 1869, found nothing in the speech not in principle found in the senator's address in September, 1863, which, as he thought, was more excited and exciting. （F. W. Newman's Miscellanies, vol. III. pF. W. Newman's Miscellanies, vol. III. pp. 195-197.) A pamphlet edition of the speech, with a special view to its circulation in England, was published at the instance of John M. Forbes, the eminent merchant of Boston. They had put aside with indifference what others had written, and now Sumner's position and authority brought the American case for the first time directly before them. In this way he seemed to them the principal accuser,—almost if not quite an enemy. They were all the more aggravated because of his familiarity with E
