enture to ask you to run your eye over it. You know my love for England; and I believe you will do me the justice to think that I would never write about her, except in the spirit of love. This letter will find you in the midst of your own ministerial contest. You will have the ardent opposition of Leader, but the support of Hume. Lady Granville has received me most kindly. I owe you many thanks for introducing me to her. I leave Paris soon for Rome, where I shall be in the middle of May. My address will be with Torlonia & Co.; and I should be much gratified by an assurance from you that we shall have peace between our two countries. As ever, very sincerely yours, Charles Sumner. To George S. Hillard, Boston. Paris, April 15, 1839. dear Hillard,—Wherever I am, I find something to do more than I anticipated. I am here simply en route for Italy; but I could not be in this charming place without reviving some of my old acquaintances, and once more enjoying the sple

of it. He attended to the choice of coloring for the walls, selection of furniture, admission of light from proper points, and other preliminary details. The exhibition, with a view to a better attendance of visitors, was postponed till the next May. Sumner obtained from the owners of Crawford's works, residing in Boston, the privilege of exhibiting them with the Orpheus; and, by the advice of friends, his own bust was added to the number. His best expectations were realized; and he had theyour success. There are serious difficulties in the way of a proper place for the Orpheus, but I shall do as well as I can for you. Dixwell is my friend. There will be a disposition to do every thing that can be done. Count upon this. In the May number of the Democratic Review I wrote an account of you and of Orpheus, to accompany a very good sketch of the Orpheus. Ever yours, Charles Sumner. To Dr. Lieber he wrote, July 17, 1843:— I am happy that you and I agree about Macke

adversary and in endeavoring to persuade the court that he was right; and in all this he showed professional ardor and fidelity. The printing of the new edition of Vesey was not suspended during Sumner's sickness. Mr. Perkins edited the fifth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and twelfth volumes; and Mr. Charles B. Goodrich the eleventh. It remained for Sumner to supply notes to the sixth and the volumes succeeding the twelfth. Resuming the work in December, he completed it the following May,—when, with a sense of relief from his burden, he wrote: The edition (in twenty volumes) is all printed; and that millstone has fallen from my neck. From Professor Greenleaf he received the following note: Dane Hall, May 5, 1845. Dear Sumner,—I thank you thrice heartily for your note of Saturday, full of kindness and good things as it is. I congratulate you on the close of your labors on Vesey,—and so successful, too, as they have been,— and look with confidence to a rich retur

the treasury! In 1845 he took an active interest in determining the plans for the Boston Athenaeum, which was about to be removed from Pearl Street to a new site,—that on Beacon Street being finally selected. At a meeting of the proprietors in May he moved a committee of ten, who were to select plans to be reported with estimates of expense to the proprietors; and he was appointed to serve on the committee. He was anxious to secure a large, generous, hospitable vestibule, hall, and stairwaersy. Works, Vol. I. pp. 491-493. The committee appointed were Dr. Howe, Sumner, Samuel A. Eliot, Horace Mann, Dr. Walter Channing, Rev. Louis Dwight, George T. Bigelow, and John W. Edmonds, of New York. Sumner's few remarks at the meeting in May are the first he ever made before a popular audience. Up to this time he had delivered no oration or address, nor participated in any public discussion. The few didactic lectures on law topics read before Lyceums do not seem to call for a qual

ther Peace Societies the remaining three thousand. The friends of Peace took special pains to send copies to daily and weekly journals, reviews, and other periodicals, and to eminent clergymen and public men,—among whom were the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Palmerston, and Lord John Russell: one copy was sent to the venerable Thomas Clarkson, and another, through the Bishop of Norwich, to the Queen. Mr. William Smith, the Fleet Street publisher, issued in May an edition, in a small volume, of two thousand copies of the entire oration, writing at the time to its author,— I should rejoice to have succeeded in giving it a much more extensive circulation, believing it to be the best appeal to the common sense of rational men, and the religious profession of people who call themselves Christians, that I have yet met with on the subject of war. I sincerely hope it may have a wide circulation in America, and effect much good in checking any tendenc
