His speech was inspiring,—a summons to a soldier's duty and a pathetic tribute to those who had just fallen in Baltimore, closing with the watchword, Massachusetts, the Constitution, and Freedom. Works, vol. v. pp. 494-496. At last a war had come which the author of The True Grandeur of Nations thought honorable and worthy of every patriot's blessing.

He was silent from January, 1861, to October, 1863, and then replied to a recent note from Sumner introducing William Whiting, of Boston. He had heretofore disapproved Sumner's style of dealing with slavery and its supporters, and he was now full of cynicism in his views of our great conflict. A later letter of May 12, 1864, though cordial in assurances of friendship, was of the same tenor. He had no patience with Sumner's treatment of the course of the English people and government, in his speech in New York, Septe
