He resigned his office of Chief-Justice in 1850. His love of humanity was a conspicuous feature of his public life. In Parliament he was a determined opponent of slavery and the slave trade.

He retired facaulay's conversation at this time, not unlike Sumner's.

g a President, that they have thought little of juridical questions. Capital punishment has not been discussed. I think it probable that it will be discussed this year. Remember me to the Hepps, A lady highly esteemed, who kept a pensionin Heidelberg, and had frequent receptions for friends. Sumner probably lodged at her house. She died not long after the period of this letter. Her daughter Julia became the wife of Professor Hagen, of Heidelberg, afterwards of Berne, and died about 1850. particularly to Fraulein Julia; and present my affectionate salutations to all your family. I hope your younger children are as healthy and happy as they appeared when I had the pleasure of seeing them. Give my best regards to Grosch, Dr. Lambert Grosch, a law pupil of Professor Mittermaier, and a magistrate, who died in 1875. and tell him that I am his debtor for a long and most interesting letter, and that I shall write him very soon.

ou will be struck on your return, if that ever takes place, by the grace and felicity of his conversation. From his lips there never fall slang, vulgarisms, or coarseness; but all his language is refined, choice, and elegant, enlivened by anecdote and literary illustration. . . .

them. Macready arrived in this country in Sept., 1843. His first engagement was in New York, where Sumner saw him in Hamlet; and, dining with him, thought him agreeable and gentlemanly. This was the beginning of their friendship. During the autumn, Macready was for two months in Boston; and at this time they were very much in each other's society. Reminiscences and Diaries of Macready, Nov. 13, 14, 21, 26, 27, 1843. See Sumner's letter to Macready on his retirement from the stage in 1850, p. 675; also reference to a letter of Macready to Sumner, on Judge Story's death, p. 571. Macready, Sumner wrote at this time, has won our hearts. He is a most agreeable and interesting person. Again, in Oct. 1844, Macready visited Boston, and sailed the same month for England. In all his controversy with Forrest he had Sumner's counsels and cordial support; and their correspondence showed a constant interest in each other. Few men have ever lived so much in their friendships as Sumner
