affected by his association with Dr. Channing at this time. In Sept. 1842, Sumner wrote to his brother George then in Europe: I know the latter [Dr. Channing] intimately, and my admiration of him grows constantly. When I was younger than I am now, I was presumptuous enough to question his power. I did not find in him the forms of logical discussion, and the close, continuous chain of reasoning,— and I complained. I am glad that I am wise enough to see him in a different light. In October, 1842, he wrote in relation to Dr. Channing's death: He has been my friend, and I may almost say my idol, for nearly ten years. For this period I have enjoyed his confidence in no common way. To this reformer, to his character, his great arguments for freedom, Dr. Channing's book on Slavery was published in 1835. and his moral inspiration, the world will ever pay deserved homage; and Sumner's tribute to his memory glows with the grateful enthusiasm of one who in youth had sat at his feet.
