How deeply the apostle of Italian liberty and unity was loved and reverenced by his American fellow-reformer, the latter endeavored to express in his reply to the above; and five years later, after Mazzini's death, it was his privilege to do so more fully and publicly in the Introduction which he then prepared for an American edition of Mazzini's writings.3 Few men have better understood and appreciated one another, or been more magnetically drawn, each to the other, than they.

During their stay in Glasgow, Mr. Garrison and his children were the guests of Mr. A. F. Stoddard, an American merchant, a nephew of Arthur Tappan; and the views of the lower Highlands from his beautiful residence on the Clyde, at Port Glasgow, were the only glimpses they obtained of them.
On the 24th of July they returned to London for a fortnight of comparative respite, and quiet social enjoyment.
They again passed a delightful evening with Mazzini at1 the house of Mrs. Stansfeld's brother, William H. Ashurst, Jr., and saw him for the last time.
A day or two later there came this note from him:

3 “Joseph Mazzini: His Life, Writings, and Political Principles. With an Introduction by William Lloyd Garrison.” New York: Hurd & Houghton, 1872. The justice and discrimination of Mr. Garrison's tribute were warmly attested by Mazzini's most intimate friends, Madam Emilie Ashurst Venturi, the translator of his works, and Madam Jessie White Mario, wife of his Italian compatriot.
The Century Company. , 1885-1889.
