e was in the freshness and vigor of his powers; He had become familiar with the platform; and it is remembered that as he handled one adversary after another, he seemed conscious of his strength. The other speakers were without attractions of style and manner, and, except Mr. Gray and Dr. Howe, knew very little of the subject. The meetings were prolonged during eight evenings, from half-past 7 till nearly or quite eleven, and sometimes till nearly midnight. May 28. June 2, 4, 9, 11, 16, 18, and 23. Sumner opened the debate on the first evening, occupying an hour and a half, leaving the rest of the time to three speakers who replied. A report of his speech is printed in the Boston Courier, June 1, 1847. The speech is like his later one, though going more into details on some points, and being quite severe on the meagre quality of the Society's reports, particularly the last one, which he thought a small month's work. Between its flimsy covers is all that we have done. Our t

ves to be deluded or influenced in the manner in which they have been. May 13. And again: The two Houses of Congress have given the seal and sanction of their authority to a false principle and a false fact; and it ascribed the error to a dread of the people, whose intelligence they undervalued. May 16. Even the Boston Advertiser, which became the chief apologist of the two Massachusetts members who voted for the bill, said before the controversy arose that it was passed in a panic. May 18. Webster said in his speech at Springfield, Sept. 29, 1847, that Congress was surprised into the Act of 13th May, 1846. The war bill was at the time disapproved by the moral sentiment of the people of Massachusetts; and the main body of their delegation in Congress, in voting against it, acted in accordance with the current of opinion in the Whig party of the State. No one of them, at this or any later period, lost favor or encountered criticism among his constituents on account of his

olution inviting Mr. Everett to deliver before the Legislature his oration on Washington; but later, after what he had said at Taunton, Mass., the resolution was taken up again and passed. On May 30, in that city, in a preface to his oration he treated the assault as a grave public calamity. The passage is given in Sumner's Works, vol. IV. p. 323. Two years later further explanations appeared in his published letter (National Intelligencer. May 14, 1858; Boston Advertiser, Atlas and Bee, May 18), in which he said that he declined to attend because he had retired to private life and deprecated additional excitement; but that later, at Taunton, he made remarks to impart a more chastened and sober temper to the fiery indignation which pervaded the community. See also New York Evening Post, May 5, 1858, commenting on Mr. Yeadon's defence of him. Mr. Everett also in the same letter explained his signature, at the time of the assault, to a paper approving Sumner's course, which he had n

Visited the Observatory, but could not obtain admission; spent some time examining the collection of the École des Mines; next went to the region of medicine, examined the Musee Dupuytren and plunged into the dissecting rooms, strong with the stench of human flesh; in the evening was too tired for society or theatre; took to my room and books.
