ough America and in Europe by the journals, and in multiplied editions in large pamphlet form, both at home and abroad, to the extent of several hundred thousand copies. In his preface to the English edition of Uncle Tom's Cabin, Lord Carlisle associated Mr. Sumner's speech with that work, speaking of the closeness of its logic, and the masculine vigor of its eloquence. In a letter to the London Times, Lord Shaftesbury exclaimed, What noble eloquence! And the distinguished phrenologist, Mr. Combe, in a letter to a celebrated American, which was soon afterwards published, remarked:—I have read every word of this speech, with pleasure and with pain. The pain arose from the subject—the pleasure from sympathy with, and admiration of, the speaker.

7. After being sworn in for his second term, on the 4th of March, he yielded to the persuasion of his friends, who were unanimous in the opinion that nothing but rest and recreation could restore him; and on the 7th of March he sailed for Havre. Vii. He was no stranger in Europe. Throughout the British Islands, and on the Continent, all the great men in science, in literature, in jurisprudence, with the friends of humanity, were prepared to give him the most generous greeting. Mr. George Combe, the distinguished physiologist, who interested himself most earnestly in his case, after consultation with Sir James Clark, Physician to the Queen, advised him strongly against any early return to public life.

Consequently, on the 22d of May, the following year,—1858,—he once more embarked for Europe. At Paris he placed himself under the care of
