Francis Jackson Garrison, William Lloyd Garrison, 1805-1879; the story of his life told by his children: volume 4, Chapter 1: no union with non-slaveholders!1861. (search)
nequalled orator—the great and (better still) the good and gracious Phillips—The Genius of Liberty on the banks of the Potomac, robed in light; four-and-thirty stars for her diadem, broken fetters at her feet, and an olive branch in her right hand. In 1856 Mr. Thompson had made a second visit to India, where he was prostrated, in the midst of his labors, by the climate, and he returned to England apparently a helpless paralytic.

His life was strictly from day to day, his thoughts projected into the future—shall we say, like a sailor's, like his father's? Where lies the land to which the ship would go? A. H. Clough. Far, far ahead, is all her seamen know; And where the land she travels from? Away, Far, far behind, is all that they can say. Had he been otherwise fitted for an historian, it is certain that he would have been as punctilious
