written you since the birth of our young Thomas Wentworth. I meant to have announced to you the arrival of the Stout Gentleman. . . . Our Wentworth grows such a mountain—that we think sometimes it own. He was in South America during most of Wentworth's childhood, but wrote charming letters addr but smiles and sunshine to be seen. When Wentworth was not quite four, he went to a Dame Schoolanket could be found, one of them cried, Ask Wentworth. He probably has a list of blankets in his (then Tory Row), Cambridge. To this school Wentworth was promoted at the age of eight, and there although he lived only a few rods distant. Wentworth's own home was a mile away, and he often dinter behaved shoulders have escaped. When Wentworth was nine, his mother recorded that he had rethe Latin grammar. The following summary of Wentworth's virtues from the same, perhaps not unbiase having been absorbed by Radcliffe College. Wentworth wrote this description of a visit to their f[6 more...]

f May 22, 1839, Parker wrote of his young classmate, then a sophomore: I like Wentworth rather, quite well. He is now young but a good scholar—tolerable looking, awof Wellesley College. An intimate friend who entered college two years after Wentworth was Levi Thaxter, later the ardent student of Browning and FitzGerald. He di the members had frequent debates. Through the four years of college life Wentworth kept a minute account of all his doings in the form of a college journal. Inin full to avoid confusion. The next interesting event seems to have been Wentworth's admission to the Phi Beta Kappa. In an address before this society, many ys ready and always witty, as President. In the spring of his Junior year, Wentworth wrote:— Such a smile as today's! The 2nd English Oration, a first Bowdoded, Slaves and a freeman is the difference, I suppose.

Wentworth now went to his mother's in Cambridge for a few weeks, wh In a letter written a year after leaving Jamaica Plain, Wentworth said:— You will be glad that I got hold of a stock t his mother and sisters removed to Brattleboro, Vermont, Wentworth transferred his belongings to Brookline where he was to tlance the experiment of the simple life was being tried. Wentworth thus describes his first drive thither:— I had to a two clean ones. It was during the Brookline stay that Wentworth wrote and published what he called his first poem, the o Natural History Lessons.

you in return I look for sympathy and interest. This beautiful tribute to Wentworth's mother is taken from a letter to Miss Channing:— I think mother is onsee a single flower I should n't care. I have sighed, and sighed in vain, Wentworth confided to his journal, considering the expense, for a tin hat [bathtub] andwish I could be put into a tin box and rolled away under a barberry bush! Wentworth continued the habit of taking long walks, seventeen miles after supper being ion to be relied on. But in spite of his enjoyment of this solitary life, Wentworth occasionally mused:— I think on the whole that this life is not the rist degree useful without being such? In these years of thought and study, Wentworth wrote many verses, some of which were published in periodicals. This led to enjoy instead of creating poetry. On the eve of his twenty-first birthday, Wentworth wrote to his mother:— I have repented of many things, but I never repen<

ourse, I visited Kenilworth and Warwick Castles. The first, you know, is a ruin; but it is very extensive, being the largest ruin I have yet seen,—larger than Glastonbury Abbey, where old Dunstan made the Devil cry out, by an unceremonious pinch of the nose. Warwick is beautiful in its position, its towers, its court-yard, and its paintings. After the very ample experience I have had of English country-places, it did not strike me so much as it has some Americans. It is not so large as Wentworth, nor so comfortable and magnificent—the two combined—as Holkham, nor so splendid as Chatsworth; and it has nothing which will compare with the feudal entrance and hall of Raby Castle, nor any room equal to the drawing-room of Auckland Castle; but still, it seems almost perfect in its way. The towers and walls are commanding; the rooms are elegant, and have a beautiful prospect across the Avon, which washes the foot of the precipitous rock on which the castle stands: some of the paintings a<

ollection of upwards of one hundred works about Milton, Among the souvenirs which Sumner purchased during his visit to Europe in 1858-59, the one which he prized most and showed frequently to visitors was the Album of Camillus Cardoyn, a Neapolitan nobleman, who collected during his residence at Geneva, 1608-1640, the autographs of distinguished persons passing through that city. One of these was the Earl of Strafford's as follows:— Qui nimis notus omnibus ignotus moritur sibi, Tho. Wentworth, Anglus, 1612. Another was that of John Milton as follows:— —if Vertue feeble were Heaven it selfe would stoope to her. Coelum non animu muto du trans mare curro. Joannes Miltonius, Anglus. Junii 10, 1639.
