sation was as fascinating as his public eloquence. This visit to Amherst left an unusually deep impression. The orator and the college had from that day a heartfelt mutual liking. In 1850 he gave me his cordial co-operation in my effort to raise money in Boston for our library building, and himself made a valuable donation of books to its shelves. Sumner's notice of Professor Tyler's edition of the Germania and Agricola of Tacitus, in 1847, was the beginning of their correspondence. In 1862, Sumner, as Professor Tyler writes, received him with cordiality, and assisted him to visit his son, then serving with the army of the Potomac; and in 1869 he gave the professor a general letter of introduction to our ministers and consuls in Europe. Prof. T. C. Upham, holding the chair of mental and moral philosophy at Bowdoin College, wrote, Jan. 18, 1848:— It is the sentiment, the moral doctrine of the work, still more than its literary execution, which increases the claim, alrea

ed to a long, intimate, and affectionate acquaintance with him, and spoke of him as a scholar of rich and rare acquirements, a gentleman of noble qualities and generous aims, distinguished for the amenities of social life, and a companion most welcome in the society of the most generous, the most refined, the most exalted. Sumner's Works, vol. IV. p. 315. Their relations were then resumed and continued unbroken, sustained in personal intercourse and correspondence, until Felton's death in 1862. The Free Soilers of Massachusetts made their protest against the Compromise of 1850 from the beginning. They resisted it until it was carried, and from that time demanded its repeal. Their State committee called a mass convention at Faneuil Hall, February 27. Palfrey presided; Dana reported resolutions; Drawn by a committee of which Sumner was a member. Adams's Biography of Dana, vol. i. p. 172. and Palfrey, Wilson, Adams, S. C. Phillips, Keyes, and Erastus Hopkins, spoke from th

none which leads to an eminence so free from compunctious visitings. Allow me to say that in your career I have seen nothing to raise a doubt that you have acted upon that profession. See another letter from the same correspondent, written in 1862, repeating the same reminiscence. Works, vol. VII. p. 8. The speech, however, did not meet the unanimous approval of Sumner's friends. The popular enthusiasm for Kossuth seemed likely to affect national politics, and even to become an impor revision of the Statutes. It is a work greatly wanted; but as it will not help anybody to be President, it will never be done. He renewed this proposition (reported as inexpedient) at almost every session,—as in 1853, 1854, 1856, 1860, 1861, 1862, and 1863,—till finally, when he moved it in 1866, it prevailed substantially in the form he had given to it. The work was executed by commissioners appointed by the President, and the Revised Statutes of the United States were enacted June 22, 18

ed. As he and I were alone, he asked freely many questions, which I frankly answered. He however made but little comment; but when a small boy ran ahead and opened the gates for us with a broad grin upon his face, Mr. Sumner remarked, Poor boy! and threw him a piece if silver coin; from which I inferred that his thoughts were, What is all this physical comfort? The child and others are still slaves. Mr. Sumner and I divided on the reconstruction measures, which were discussed as early as 1862-1863; but I cannot fail to do justice to a bold and philanthropic statestman, whom the followers on power failed to appreciate as he deserved. Sumner went by rail from Lexington to Frankfort and then to Louisville, where he renewed with Mr. and Mrs. William Preston the pleasant relations he had begun with them in Washington. He was taken by Mr. Preston to drive on the Indiana as well as the Kentucky side of the Ohio River. Preston, who was then running for Congress against Humphrey Ma

231. The only person I heard speak well of him was Lady Shaftesbury. I met the Due d'aumale twice, and found him as charming as ever. If the republic cannot prevail, let us have him. The Comte de Paris, whom I saw several times, but not to become acquainted with, did not impress me much; he looked like an American youth. Had I not known who he was I should have selected him as from my own country. He became well acquainted with the count when the latter was in the United States in 1861-1862, and from that time they were correspondents. Lord Palmerston was as gay and jaunty as ever, Lord Clarendon as fascinating, Lord Brougham as fitful, Lord Lyndhurst as eloquent and clever, Lord Lansdowne as kind, and Lord Cranworth as good. I saw much of Macaulay at breakfast and dinner,—at least half a dozen times, and twice in his own house. His conversation was as full and interesting as ever. Nothing seemed too great or too small for his memory. I think that I was more than ever struck
