h Mr. Wordsworth and Mr. Robinson occurred; but after breakfasting together the parties separated, Mr. Wordsworth going to the Lago d'iseo, Mr. Ticknor to the Lago di Garda, promising a reunion at Venice. There our party arrived first, on the 17th of June. Venice, June 17.—It seemed very strange to us to come into a city so silent and yet so grand; magnificent in its palaces and churches, but looking deserted; with streets of water, over which men glide noiselessly as spectres; . . . . andJune 17.—It seemed very strange to us to come into a city so silent and yet so grand; magnificent in its palaces and churches, but looking deserted; with streets of water, over which men glide noiselessly as spectres; . . . . and with houses that seem to have no foundation, as you step in and out of them. . . . . We rowed about in our gondola like Turks, ate ices and drank sherbets in St. Mark's Square with the thousand other gay idlers, . . . . and went home late, only to listen to music from the gondoliers and thoughtless minstrels, who seemed to fill the summer night with their harmony. The whole was purely Venetian. . . . . June 22.—. . . . We finished the evening, as usual, with a lounge in St. Mark's Square, <

ll of troubled thoughts, even I may say I am full of sorrow. An old and much-loved friend has just died in my house, in my arms,—Mr. Legare of South Carolina, our Attorney-General; and, at the moment of his death, filling, ad interim, the place of Secretary of State, which Webster's resignation six weeks ago had left vacant. He came here, with the President and his whole Cabinet, to the great national celebration of the completion of our monument on Bunker's Hill, when Webster, on the 17th of June, made a grand speech to all the authorities of the country, and 40,000 or 50,000 besides. But poor Legare could not be there. He was taken ill the same morning, with what seemed a simple obstruction of the bowels. Medical aid was called at once. I was with him that day and the next,—during which his sufferings were great,—and removed him to my house, where he survived but thirty-six hours, without having at any moment obtained the slightest relief. On a post mortem examination, it wa<

At this distance things look more quiet only; hardly more hopeful. But I trust we are mistaken. I remain always very faithfully, my dear Prince, Your friend and servant, George Ticknor. To the Hon. Edward Everett. Manchester [Massachusetts], July 31, 1850. my dear Everett,—I have just read your oration of the 17th of June. I made an attempt in the Advertiser, but broke down from the obvious misplacing of some paragraphs, and I am glad I failed, for I have enjoyed it much more here in this quietness, reading the whole without getting up out of my chair, and then looking over certain parts of it again and again, till I had full possession of them. It was a great pleasure, and I thank you for it. Perhaps some of your earlier efforts were more brilliant, but for real power, as it seems to me, you have never
