Perkins, Mr. Richard Sullivan, Mr. William Sullivan, Dr. John C. Warren, Senior, and Mr. William Prescott.

The members from Massachusetts—Mr. George Cabot, Mr. William Prescott, Mr. H. G. Otis, Mr. Timothy Bigelow, Mr. Stephen Longfellow, Mr. Wilde, and Mr. Waldo—had taken a house, and lived by themselves. We called on them immediately. Mr. Otis alone was at home, detained, by a committee, from the morning se

of the College. I then went to Mr. Prescott. Hon. William Prescott, then a member of the Corporation. The management nearly three hundred pages—was composed of Dr. Porter, Mr. Prescott, and Mr. Lowell, all working men. And they did work faithfully. Mr. Prescott, in particular, made an abstract of the opinions of each respondent, arranged under the appropriate hformer officers; and Mr. W. Sullivan, former Overseer. Mr. Prescott and Mr. Otis were kept away by having to attend a meetiion of the College. This we knew would be agreeable to Mr. Prescott and Mr. Otis, who thought the work could not be carriedmittee of the Corporation, consisting of the President, Mr. Prescott, and Mr. Otis, was appointed, July 25, to confer with tdingly, at the request of Judge Story, Mr. Webster, and Mr. Prescott, wrote an article on the subject for the North Americanrseers, together with suggestions from Sir.

Mr. Prescott, Judge Jackson, Dr. Bowditch, and a few young men are much in earnest about it. . . . . We went the other night to a great ball at Colonel Thorndike's, a part of which extended into your house, The two houses were connected by doors, whiAmong the rest, the work about Columbus, which is very curious, and ought to be translated bodily, as well as melted down, by Irving, into an interesting and elegant piece of biography . . . . In April, 1828, Mr. Ticknor went with his friend Prescott to Washington, being absent from home about three weeks, during which he very much enjoyed the society of his companion, and that of Mr. Webster, with whom they spent nearly all their time in Washington.
