Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Margaret Fuller Ossoli, Chapter 19: personal traits. (search)
my hand is often languid and my heart is slow;--I must be gone, I feel, but whither? I know not: if I cannot make this plot of ground yield corn and roses, famine must be my lot forever and forever, surely. Ms. (W. H. C.) In accordance with this thought, she felt that this country must create, as it has now done, its own methods of popular education, especially for the training of girls. She wrote in her Summer on the Lakes: -- Methods copied from the education of some English Lady Augusta are as ill suited to the daughter of an Illinois farmer as satin shoes to climb the Indian mounds... Everywhere the fatal spirit of imitation, of reference to European standards, penetrates and threatens to blight whatever of original growth might adorn the soil. Summer on the Lakes, p. 47. Had this protest come from an ignorant per. son, it would have simply amounted to turning one's back on all the experience of the elder world. Coming from the most cultivated American woman of he

of the British legation. the successor of Lord Lyons as British minister at washington, was of a family with whom Sumner had long maintained cordial relations. He was the brother of the Earl of Elgin, former governor-general of Canada, and of Lady Augusta, wife of Dean Stanley. Sumner had also been kindly received in Paris in 1858-1859 by their mother, the Dowager Lady Elizabeth Bruce. Sir Frederick came to Washington just before Mr. Lincoln's death, and from his arrival was on terms of intima hills, and the Castle of Edinburgh,—all radiant with the sunshine in which he [Sir Frederick] so delighted, and of which he was so full. In 1879 Dean Stanley went with the writer about Westminster Abbey, and taking him to the chapel where Lady Augusta had been laid in 1876, pointed to some carvings on the wall commemorative of the Bruce family, saying, You will see a ship there; it is bearing home from Boston the body of Sir Frederick Bruce. The interviewer was at this time beginning hi

should like nothing better, he said, but I cannot, I ought not; tempt me no further. I pressed the considerations of restored vigor and prolonged life as the reward of a six months or year's absence. He agreed to my view, but said, It is useless; I must go. My duty requires it. On his last morning in London he breakfasted at the Westminster deanery, the guest of Dean and Lady Augusta Stanley. It was Monday, November 11, when the tidings of the great fire in Boston had just come. Lady Augusta inquired about Trinity Church, then on Summer Street, where the funeral rites of her brother, Sir Frederick Bruce, had been performed, and Sumner said, We know not whether Trinity Church now exists. It was indeed a ruin. Mr. Story adds his recollections of this breakfast at the deanery:— The last time I saw Sumner was at the breakfast-table of Dean Stanley. It was a delightful company, and Sumner was in great force, enjoying it thoroughly. We were all gay together, and tried t

al Grant. 'Tis true he was not in London, but he was not a day's journey away, and having been so warmly received in America, the absence of the civility seemed significant. Lady Augusta Stanley, a warm personal friend of the Queen, corresponded with me while the Prince was in America, and, knowing that I was on duty at the White House, she asked me to do what I could to make the visit successful. After the Prince had left I wrote to her stating that he had made a good impression, and Lady Augusta replied expressing Her Majesty's gratification, so that I fancy the lack of the President's visit gave no umbrage. Still, it may be that Jesse Grant's experience at Windsor was the corollary of the Prince's visit unreturned. I remained at the White House during the first three months of Grant's Administration, after which I spent four months in England, and then I was on duty again at the Executive Mansion from October until May. After that I was there as a visitor on only a few occa

s of verifying the fact. Our loss of regimental and company officers was very heavy. Among those killed were Col. Grane, of the 3d Wisconsin; Major Savage, and Cattains Abbott, Russell, and Gooding, and Lieut. Browtion, of the 2d Massachusetts. Colonel Donnelly, of the 46th Pennsylvania, was we fear, mortally wounded. Col. Creighton and Adjutant Molybean, of the 7th Ohio, are also very badly wounded. Capt. Ro. W. Clarke, of the 1st District regiment, resolved a wound in the foot. Gen. Augusta received a ball his back, as he was in front of his turning in his saddle to cheer it on. General is wounded in the arm so that he will likely and Gen. Prince is slightly wounded. On Saturday evening, its Gen. Augur was being carried past us back to the hospital, it was thought his wound was mortal; but, on surgical examination, it was found to be a severe but not dangerous wound, we rejoice to be able to say. At six P. M. yesterday seven hundred and fifty of our wounded ha

re provided for the colored people, and this case occurred because the negro declined to ride with persons of his own color, and wished to force himself with white men. Mr. Grimes did not think there were any cars running now for the accommodation of colored people. Mr. Hendricks knew differently, for he had entered one, and was glad to get out the best way he could. Mr. Grimes did not think it a disgrace to ride with these colored people. Mr. Sumner read the letter of Dr. Augusta, Surgeon of the Seventh Colored Volunteers. He believed it was as great an outrage as it would be to eject the Senator from his seat here. Without meaning any personal disrespect, Mr. Wilson said he believed the largest quantity of information, in and out of this Senate, was from the New York papers, and his attention was called to this subject from them. This was not the only place where the reform was needed. He had information of an outrage perpetrated on a mail railroad, where
