He has just published a charming little book, entitled, Essays and Selections; and he has given me a copy, in which he has written my name, with the affectionate good wishes of Basil Montagu. I have been amused at what was told me to-night with regard to my admission to the Athenaeum. I am an Honorary Member, admitted as a foreigner of distinction, a title which it made me shrink to see applied to my name. But it seems I was nominated last July, and rejected, as was said, by the vote of Croker, whereat Milman was in great anger. Croker's objection was that I was not known as the author of any book! Everybody is laughing at Willis's sketch, in a late New York Mirror, of Lord Durham. Marryat says that when Willis looked over his spoon, one spoon looked over another.

e pleasure and agreeable pursuits, I return to friends whom I love, and in whose sympathy and conversation I promise myself great happiness. All these scenes of the Old World we will recall together, and in our quiet circle repeat the grand tour. My regret at leaving Europe is enhanced by my interest in its politics, and in the great plot which now begins to thicken. To-day's news is the rejection of the Nemours dotation bill, the most democratic. measure in France since the Revolution of July; and yet in my conscience I think it right. Louis Philippe—clever, politic, and wise as he is, and also justly conservative in allowing this proposal to go forward in his name— pushed too far, and excited the old republican fires. It is vain for him to attempt to restore the court and monarchy of Mazarin and Louis XIV., and he will be crushed under the attempt. His ministry have resigned. But possibly the affair will be arranged. The measure was defeated by M. Cormenin, 1788-1868; a D

e Acadia, which sails to-morrow from this port for Liverpool. What can I write that will not be utterly dull to you of London? If you still persevere in your intention of giving an article on American eloquence, Mr. Hayward's article appeared in the Quarterly Review, Dec., 1840, Vol. LXVII., entitled, American Orators and Statesmen. With Mr. Everett, who is there mentioned. Mr. Hayward afterwards became well acquainted. let me ask you to read a paper in the last North American Review (July) on Guizot's Washington. You will find there some six or eight pages, which present a neat and concise view of partiesin the United States from the adoption of the Federal Constitution down to a comparatively recent period. The author is Mr. Edward Everett, recently Governor of Massachusetts, and now in Europe, where he purposes passing two or more years. He will be in England before he returns here; if so, I hope he may see you. He is, perhaps, the most accomplished man of my country.

e point of going over to England, for the summer and autumn; at the end of autumn to take the steamer for Malta again, visit Algiers and the north of Africa; then to Spain, and through that country into France again, —all of which, I suppose, will consume another year. I say, constantly, cui bono, all this travel? Far better to be at rest in some one place, hiving up from books, study, and meditation, rather than this perpetual attrition with the world. There is an article by George in the July number of the North American, on the affairs of Afghanistan and British India generally.. God bless you! Ever and ever yours, Charles Sumner. To his brother George, London. the letter replies to criticisms of his brother upon English society, as compared with the French. Boston, July 6, 1842. my dear George,—. . .

Sumner rejoiced in the happiness of his two friends; he was present at both weddings, and groomsman at the first. Of thh Noah into the ark; of every clean beast, said the Lord, thou shalt take to thee by sevens. And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

I sent you my article in the July number of the North American Review, on the mutiny of the Somers. You will see that I take a different line of argument rilliant and powerful tableau.

on of letting me have a word from yourself would not be judicious, I am sure that either he or Hillard, or else your kind mother, would perform that good office for me. How I wish I could be within reach to take my share in tending you! Let me, at least, commend you to Him who orders all for the best. May his pardon be with you for the offences which a nature even pure, generous, and gentle as your own must have contracted, and his love and blessing for ever! From the time when, late in July, the favorable turn came, he recovered rapidly. He seemed to have a new sympathy with Nature, as he saw again the fields and sky. Among the books which he read while confined to his chamber were some Italian poems; the History of Thuanus; the Institutes of Calvin; and Stanley's Life of Dr. Arnold. His progress to fulness of strength was slow; and he did not resume professional work till November,—an interval of five months. Late in August, as soon as his physician permitted, he left Boston

Flower Ellis,—now best known as Macaulay's friend, —while at York, on the Northern Circuit, wrote, March 9, 1846:— I was much gratified by your kind remembrance of me, shown by the transmission of your oration pronounced on the July anniversary. I have often thought with much pleasure of your visit to England, and your tour on the Northern Circuit; and it has frequently struck me that much might be gained, both in national feeling and professional science, if this intercommunts; and I still sympathize with that which I cannot fully admit. Sumner's letters in support or explanation of his oration are here given, although a portion of them were written some months later. To Rev. Robert C. Waterston. Tuesday [July], 1845. my dear Waterston,—Thanks for your most cordial letter of sympathy. Your countenance, as I saw you before me while I was speaking, was better than an army for strength and succor. You know the feeling with which I undertook the duty,
