try is to come under the bloody sway of the Slave Power—for a time—as it has not yet done. Mr. Garrison's illness confined him to the house through the entire month of January, so that he was unable to attend the annual meeting of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, which began its sessions at Tremont Temple on the morning of January 24, and missed being an active participant in that memorable occasion. At his request the 94th Psalm was read at the opening of the meeting by the Rev. Samuel May, Jr. The following letter was also read by Mr. Quincy: W. L. Garrison to Edmund Quincy. Boston, Jan. 24, 1861. Ms. and Lib. 31.17. My dear coadjutor: . . . I am still not sufficiently strong to justify me, as a matter of common prudence, in being present at our annual State gathering to-day. The spirit is willing, and restless for liberation, but the flesh is weak. I believe this will be the first of the long series of anniversaries held by the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery S

Nicolay's and John Hay's chapter in the Century Magazine for December, 1888. and that the editor could thus cite it as evidence of the anti-slavery purpose of the Administration. His first feeling, however, on carefully reading the document, was not one of exultation, and a friend who called to Samuel May, Jr. congratulate him, the morning it appeared, was surprised to find how quietly he took it, and wondered at his lack of enthusiasm; but having indulged the hope that the proclamation, if issued, would be unreserved and sweeping, he was disappointed and disturbed that the President should confine it to the rebellious States, giving them one hundred days of grace, and should couple with it his scheme for gradual and compensated emancipation in the Border States, and for colonization.

In this new role he made a speech in opposition to the Lib. 34.87, 94. resolution endorsing Mr. Lincoln, but without the slightest effect, for it was carried by acclamation. His utter failure to influence the Convention Mr. Phillips made special and unsuccessful efforts, also, to have an anti-Lincoln delegation sent to the Baltimore Convention from Vermont (Ms. June 13, 1865, S. May, Jr., to Mary A. Estlin). served to intensify the bitterness with which, in a speech before the Emancipation League, four days later, he spoke of Mr. Lincoln, Lib. 34.86. declaring that, as the President had delayed so long before touching slavery, while he had suspended habeas corpus (the barriers of liberty set up two hundred years ago) in sixty days, no negro in America owed anything to him. Mr. Lincoln, he asserted, did not desire to crush the rebellion, and he pledged himself to leave no

ton preceding him. It was given to the illustrious John Hampden. You [see], therefore, that different considerations lead to its bestowment. It was most worthily given to George Thompson several years ago. Of course, it possesses no interest or value to me beyond its being a high official recognition of the rectitude and grandeur of the anti-slavery movement in the United States, and, through me, a vindication of American abolitionists generally (Ms. Paris, Aug. 20, 1867, W. L. G. to Samuel May, Jr.). Mr. Garrison did not know that Mrs. Nichol had quietly suggested the propriety of thus honoring him to the Lord Provost. His speech of acceptance was the best of all he delivered in Great Britain, at least so far as pertains to the form, since he could do no less than prepare it carefully in advance of the ceremony. In Glasgow he had to encounter two demonstrations— a public breakfast, initiated by the Smeals and Patons July 19, 1867. and their anti-slavery associates, and an eve

Mr. Phillips, on the other hand, advocated its appropriation for the support of the Anti-Slavery Standard, on the grou the money; but, the majority refusing to obey the mandate, they were removed by the Court, who directed Messrs. Garrison, May, and Quincy to nominate four persons in their place, and the money finally reached the treasury of the New England branch loring the acts of some of the old abolitionists—as in the case of Foster and Beach (Ms. Jan. 23, 1872, W. L. G. to Samuel May, Jr.). and the third and last volume, finished by another hand after Mr. Wilson's death, was even more open to criticism in its treatment of the churches and their relation to the struggle. To Mr. May, who had just given his antislavery library to Cornell University, Mr. Garrison wrote as follows: W. L. Garrison to S. J. May. Roxbury, Feb. 9, 1871. Ms.

He was unable to be present at the funeral services, which were held at Rockledge, and conducted by the Rev. Samuel May, assisted by Wendell Phillips, Lucy Stone, and the Rev. George Putnam. Mr. Phillips's tribute was an exquisite portrayal of Mrs. Garrison's character. During his weeks of convalescence he found solace in preparing a memorial sketch of Mrs. reception. . . . Nothing could exceed the courtesies and kindnesses showered upon us by our multitudinous friends, whose respect and affection are in value beyond all price. And to his friend May he wrote: From the time of our departure from New York to our leaving Liverpool, everything went auspiciously with us. Our good angels seemed to be ever at our side. We lost no appointment, met with no accident, and had our cup of enjoyment filled to overflowing. Ms. Sept. 14, 1877, to S. May, Jr.

The services were conducted by the Rev.

He was followed by Mrs. Lucy Stone, who acknowledged the debt which women owed to the
