They had almost imagined me to be in figure a monster of huge and horrid proportions; but now finding me decently made, without a single horn, they take me cordially by the hand, and acknowledge me a marvellous proper man. An instance in point occurred at the house of the venerable Moses Brown, in Providence, About June 21. We had, writes H. E. Benson to S. J. May, June 26 a short though delightful visit from Mr. Garrison last week. If I had formed a very high opinion of him from what I had heard about him, that opinion was certainly not lessened when I became personally acquainted with him. on Mr. Garrison's return from the Philadelphia Convention: During my visit at his dwelling, an individual from New York was introduced, named—, (a relative of the patriarch, Lib. 2.162. and a member of the Society of Friends,) whose depo

Mrs. H. was the mother of Ann Eliza Hammond, a fine girl, aged seventeen years, who became one of Miss Crandall's colored pupils, and was made the object of the revival of an obsolete vagrant law, of which the final penalty was to be whipped on the naked body not exceeding ten stripes (May's Recollections, p. 51; Lib. 3.78). who soon collected some of her friends, among whom were Mr. George [W.] Benson and a brother of his, who appeared to H. E. Benson. possess hearts warmed with fellow-feeling and awake to the cause of humanity. They engaged to do all for me in their power, and I have no doubt they will. The lady who was at your office last week to see about a school for colored females, passed through here Friday. We had a pleasant interview with her on that evening. She is, I should think, exactly the one for that purpose, and I hope she may meet with perfect success (Ms. Providence, Feb. 8, 1833, Henry E. Benson to W. L. G.) Sa

Many thanks to you and my generous creditor Henry for H. E. Benson. your kind letters. What news from Canterbury?

But this is episodical. The Young Men's Anti-Slavery Association of Boston are driving ahead with even a better spirit than that of ‘76.

uching farewell scene at the African Church Ante, p. 338. in Providence in April, 1833, Miss Helen Benson was a witness, and for the first time looked on the speaker whose name was household in hebles me to find exquisite delight in the family circle, as an offset to public adversity. Helen Benson had, withal, both a thoughtful and a deeply religious mind, which had been early brought undon of an injured and helpless race. In truth, if any seal was needed on the match between Miss Benson and Mr. Garrison, it was to be found in the character and history of her father. See, for details, the Benson family of Newport, R. I., pp. 31-47; Memoir of S. J.
