the precious recollection that it is the gift of a grateful generation of your countrymen and friends. May you long be spared, a living example, to your country and the world. Your friends, Samuel E. Sewall, J. Ingersoll Bowditch, William E. Coffin, William Endicott, Jr., Samuel May, Jr., Edmund Quincy, Thomas Russell, Robert C. Waterston. W. L. Garrison to the Testimonial Committee. Boston, March 12, 1868. respected friends: In replying to your very kind letter of the 10th instant, transferring to my hands the truly generous sum obtained by you as a national testimonial, in recognition of my labors in the anti-slavery cause through a long and perilous struggle, I shall try in vain to find words adequately to express my feelings. I can only tender to you my heartfelt thanks for this signal proof of your personal esteem and good-will. I am so constituted as not to fear the frowns of men, when conscious of being in the right; yet no one should desire more strongly t

The Euthanasia of the Liberator was celebrated by Edmund Quincy in the N. Y. Independent of Jan. 11, 1866. Notable articles on the career of the paper and its editor also appeared in the London Daily News of Jan. 9 (by Harriet Martineau), N. Y. Nation (by O. B. Frothingham), and N. Y. Tribune (by H. B. Stanton) of Jan. 4, and in other leading journals. Certainly it was not without a pang of regret that he gave up the paper and its office, the loss of which and of his long-established editorial routine made him feel, as he expressed it, like a hen plucked of her feathers. Old habits he could not at once shake off. Many of his exchanges continued to come to him, and he would read and clip from them as industriously as though he were still purveying for the Liberator; and during the few weeks in which the offi

The importance of continuing it was urged with much intensity of feeling and language by Mr. Phillips and his supporters, whose imputation that the retiring members were deserting the cause was warmly resented by Mr. Garrison in the debate, and subsequently in the N. Y. Independent. The Society whose existence was declared Feb. 8, 1866. of such vital consequence continued the Standard, but did nothing more for the next four years than hold an annual meeting. Its office was closed. In February, Mr. Garrison made his second and final visit to Washington, for the sake of spending a few days with his daughter, who had recently become Mrs. Henry Jan. 3, 1866.

Chase. expressed great regret that he was not at home last evening, and said he would not be absent again if I would call. Mr. Garrison's first call on reaching Washington was on Senator Sumner (Feb. 18). Sumner almost made a declamatory speech about universal suffrage, and intends making another in the Senate on the same subject (Ms. Feb. 19, 1866, W. L. G. to H. E. G.). I was introduced to a large number of Senators, Representatives, and persons from various parts of the country, and warmly received. To-morrow evening I am to lecture in the Union League Hall. . . .

im great satisfaction. Deprived of his income from the Liberator, prevented by his injuries from writing or lecturing, his wife permanently crippled, and his children not yet in a position to relieve him of pecuniary care, Mr. Garrison naturally contemplated his rapidly melting resources with much anxiety, unaware that a movement was already on foot to relieve him from all future concern on that score, and to make him comfortably independent for the remainder of his days. Near the end of March, a number of Mar. 28. gentlemen met at the house of Dr. Henry I. Bowditch, and formed themselves into a Committee for the purpose of raising a national testimonial to Mr. Garrison, in grateful and honorable recognition of his part in bringing about the great consummation of universal freedom and homogeneous institutions in the United States.

Whist became a favorite diversion to him, and he spent many an evening playing the game with his children and with George Thompson, who had now become a neighbor in Roxbury and was almost daily interchanging calls with his old comrade. More than ever Mr. Garrison devoted himself to his wife, who, though sadly crippled, found much solace in reading and in correspondence with her absent children. The domestic event of the year was the birth June 14. at Rockledge of their first grandchild, whose advent gave Agnes Garrison. them unspeakable delight, and whom Mr. Garrison never wearied of carrying in his arms, lulling to sleep, or entertaining with song or piano. He refused to sign a petition, presented by George Shea of New York, for Jefferson Davis's release from Fortress Monroe, and had no disposition to join Gerrit Smith and Horace Greeley in that movement.

reason for his not attempting a task to which he was strongly urged by his friends, namely, the preparation of a History of the Anti-Slavery Movement in the United States. While he was at work on the last number of the Liberator, he had Dec. 27, 1865. received an earnest request to undertake such a work, from the publishing firm of Ticknor & Fields, who Ms. July 3, 1866. subsequently made a very liberal proposition to that end. Mr. Garrison provisionally accepted it, but he had many Ms. July 5. doubts and misgivings on the subject, and, after two years of alternating resolution and hesitation, he abandoned the idea. The only overt step he took towards it was the hiring of an office in the city, to which the files of 1868. the Liberator were taken for his examination and review; but the days and weeks he had proposed to devote to them were spent in writing letters and clipping the current newspapers, and the first line of the History was never written.

was taken utterly by surprise when it was announced to him. The following is a transcript of the circular to the Public: National Testimonial to William Lloyd Garrison. The accomplishment of the Great Work of Emancipation in the United States directs our minds to the duty of some fit public recognition of the man who must in all future time be regarded as its visible leader. William Lloyd Garrison, then in the twenty-sixth year of his age, established the Liberator newspaper in 1831, and thenceforward devoted his abilities and his career to the promotion of immediate and unconditional emancipation. After the lapse of thirty-five years of the most exacting labor, of controversy, peril, and misconception, he has been permitted to see the object gained to which he, at first almost alone, consecrated his life. The generation which immediately preceded ours regarded him only as a wild enthusiast, a fanatic, or a public enemy. The present generation sees in him the bold and
