ersity with distinguished honor, and has recently been called to the bar: I think him a young man full of promise. Vaughan, though not a man of book-learning himself, respects it in others. I once sat with him in chambers in a matter where one of the young Chittys appeared; at first the judge inclined against the barrister and his authorities, but he said in a way that I saw gave no little pleasure, Mr. Chitty, I have a great respect for your opinion. Bosanquet John Bernard Bosanquet, 1773-1847. He was called to the bar in 1800, and associated as reporter with Sir Christopher Puller; was Counsel of the East India Company, and of the Bank of England; became a judge of the Common Pleas in 1830, resigning in 1842. you well know as a reporter. As a judge he seems dry and reserved, sitting on the extreme left, and apparently taking so little interest in the causes, that his qualities as a judge seem to be all negative. You do not hear him talked of by the bar, nor meet him in soci

elow the silk-stocking classes. Seeing what I have in England, I am not surprised at this. I fear that I have been repeating what I have already written you. But you must pardon any such inadvertencies; for I write at snatches of time, and hardly remember what I have sent you before. For continuation of letter on March 13, see below. To Lord Morpeth. Sunday evening, March 10, 1839. my dear Morpeth,—I have just received an invitation from Lord Holland Henry Richard Vassall Fox, 1773-1840, third Lord Holland, the nephew of Charles James Fox, was a Liberal statesman, a friend of scholars, and a kindly host. See sketch in Brougham's Autobiography, Vol. III. p. 298. There is a reference to Lady Holland's career in Life of Lord Denman, Vol. II. p. 119. Macaulay, a welcome and frequent guest at Holland House, commemorated its hospitality in the Edinburgh Review, July, 1841. to dine with him on Wednesday next, and have accepted it. This added kindness I owe to you, I doubt n

the society is, I should prefer it before Vienna, where aristocracy has its most select home. Personally, I can bear very slight testimony on this subject, as I left Vienna the week the season commenced. I was, however, at Prince Metternich's, where I saw the highest and proudest. Princess Metternich is thought very beautiful. I do not think so. She tosses a slight nod, if a proud prince or ambassador bends his body before her. The Austrian nobility only await the death of the Prince, 1773-1859. her husband, to take their revanche.On my entering the salon, the Prince covered me with all those pleasant terms of French salutation: Je suis bien enchante de faire votre connaissance, &c. He spoke of our country, for which he professed the greatest regard; said we were young, and Europe old: Mais laissons nous jouir de notre vieillesse. I disclaimed for myself and the better portion of my countrymen any vulgar propagandism. He spoke of Washington with great respect, and inquired ab

But I am already (after twenty-four hours presence) nailed for to-morrow to see the Duchess of Sutherland in her magnificent palace; Stafford House, St. James's. for the next day to dine with Parkes to meet Charles Austin; the next to breakfast with Sutton Sharpe (his capital breakfasts!) to meet some of my friends of the Chancery bar; then to dine with the Earl of Carlisle; George, sixth Earl of Carlisle, 1773 1848. Lady Carlisle, daughter of the fifth Duke of Devonshire, died in 1858. The Earl was succeeded on his death by his eldest son,—Sumner's friend, Lord Morpeth. Sumner met Lady Carlisle at Castle Howard, in Oct. 1857. and the next day with Bates. Joshua Bates, American banker, 1788-1864. Mr. Bates invited Sumner to attend, Feb. 12, 1839, his daughter's marriage to Sylvain Van de Weyer, the Belgian statesman. Morpeth wishes me to see the Lansdownes and Hollands, but I decline. Yeste
