University.
He has published a valuable edition of ‘
Herodotus,’ and has otherwise made himself very favorably known to the scholars of my country.
He hopes to pass several months in delightful
Heidelberg; and I wish to commend him to your kind attentions during his stay.
I send you two copies of the sixteenth report of the
Prison Discipline Society; also two copies of
Dr. Howe's ‘Report on the Blind,’ embracing the account of
Laura Bridgman, the wonderful child, who can neither see nor hear nor speak; also a pamphlet on a proposed change in the veto power of the
President of the
United States.
I am glad that you found so much pleasure in your excursion to
Italy.
It is a most interesting country, and the works of Romagnosi and some others are valuable contributions to jurisprudence.
I have nothing to communicate with regard to legislation or codification in
America.
The commissioners in
Massachusetts are still engaged upon their work, and will make a report in the winter.
Judge Story's last work on ‘Partnership’ I presume you have already received.
He is now engaged upon a work on ‘Bills of Exchange.’
Mr. Pickering and
Mr. Cushing are both well, and send you their salutations.
Remember me most kindly to
Madame Mittermaier and to all your family.
I shall not forget my pleasant days at
Heidelberg, and the hospitality of your house.
Believe me ever, my dear
Mr. Mittermaier,
Very sincerely yours,
