h. He is deeply read, and has his learning at command. His language is not smooth and easy, either in conversation or on the bench; but it is always significant, and to the purpose. In person he is rather short and stout, and with a countenance that seems to me heavy and gross; though I find that many of the bar think of it quite otherwise. I heard Warren Samuel Warren, 1807-1877; author of The Introduction to Law Studies, and Ten Thousand a Year; and member of Parliament for Midhurst, 1856-57.—author of Diary of a Physician, &c.—say that it was one of the loveliest faces he ever looked upon: perhaps he saw and admired the character of the man in his countenance. I have heard many express themselves about him with the greatest fondness. He has a very handsome daughter. Williams John Williams, 1777-1846. He was from his youth distinguished for his excellence in classical studies; assisted Brougham and Denman in the defence of Queen Caroline; attacked in Parliament the de

Sumner dined with him at Fleming House, Old Brompton. is a very quiet and agreeable person, and is M. P. for Liverpool. He is a Tory; and is exclusively a lawyer, with very little interest in literature. His dinners have been among the handsomest that I have seen. Kelly has a very large business . . . J. Jervis John Jervis, 1802-1856. He was a reporter of cases in the Exchequer, and an author of books on Coroners, and Pleading; represented Chester in Parliament; became Attorney-General in 1846; and Chief-Justice of the Common Pleas in 1850. is a good friend of mine, and the leader of the North Wales Circuit. He is an M. P., and inclines to ultra-Liberal opinions; indeed, he is a Radical. Crowder Ante, Vol. I. p. 341. is one of the leaders of the Western Circuit, and a very pleasant fellow, whom I know intimately. Er

literature of the law and a constant interest in public affairs. Occupying rooms on the same floor and very near each other, he and Sumner met almost daily, and associated on the most familiar terms. Afterwards, although personal good — will continued, their paths in politics diverged; and Mr. Chandler's estimate of Sumner is of greater value, because not colored by the partiality which comes from sharing, as fellow combatants, in the same cause. Mr. Chandler's speech at Faneuil Hall, in 1856, was one of the best called out by the Brooks assault. He referred, as he began it, to their close personal intimacy and their political disagreement. Sumner reprinted it in his Works, Vol. IV. pp. 314, 315. Mr. Chandler writes:— I readily comply with your request for some personal reminiscences of Charles Sumner, and for my impressions of his early career as a lawyer. It was in 1837, when my name was entered as a student in the office of Theophilus Parsons at No. 4 Court Street

al excursions beyond to Lanesborough and Williamstown. Among well-known residents of Pittsfield, whose courtesies he received, was George N. Briggs, then Governor of the State. Mr. Newton, a retired merchant, lent him a horse; and, well-mounted, he enjoyed keenly the lovely landscapes of Western Massachusetts. While at Lenox as the guest of Samuel G. Ward, he drove to Stockbridge and passed the day at Charles Sedgwick's, Charles Sedgwick was clerk of the courts of Berkshire. He died in 1856, at the age of sixty-four. His father, Judge Sedgwick, who died in 1813, had three other sons,—Theodore, of Stockbridge, who died in 1839; Robert, of New York, who died in 1841; and Henry D., of New York, who died in 1831; and also a daughter,—Catherine, the author,—who died in 1867. The Judge's son Theodore, whose widow was living at Stockbridge in 1844, was the father of Theodore Sedgwick, who was the friend and correspondent of Sumner, and the author of the Law of Damages.
