A shake of the hand by this madman turned the current London Breakfast to W. L. G. p. 47. of his life, and decided the character of his future occupations. The talents of George Thompson were such as would have insured him brilliant success at the bar, and he was strongly urged to enter the legal profession by such eminent members of it as Lord Brougham, Edmund Quincy writes to Mr. Garrison from Boston, Aug. 10, 1838: I have just heard part of a letter from Charles Sumner, in which he says that he heard Lord Brougham's anti-slavery speech in the House of Lords, in which he paid the highest compliments to George Thompson, saying that he was one of the most eloquent men he had ever heard either in or out of Parliament, etc. This was suppressed, for some reason or other, in the Reports.

Why are they thus maltreated and calumniated? Certainly, not for the phraseology which they use, but for the principles which they adopt. Are they not all tauntingly stigmatized as Garrison-men ? As soon as any man becomes hostile to colonization, and friendly to abolition, is he not at once recognized and stamped by the enemy as a Garrisonite? Then how can it be averred that it is my language that gives offence, seeing that it is only my principle

He early took an active part in the municipal affairs of Boston, and directed some of its chief territorial improvements, but did not seek office.

Apparently a significant part of the indebtedness was carried by James Forten. Arnold Buffum had his plan Ms. Nov. 18, Dec. 13, 1834. of making Mr. Garrison the corresponding secretary of the New England Anti-Slavery Society, and the salaried editor of the Liberator, adopted as its organ.

The natural result of good spirits followed, and these were invariably present. But they were not the mere result of good health.
