Channing said he did not know it was Mr. Garrison. Miss Martineau's version, in her article on the Martyr Age of the Uniave had two long and very satisfactory interviews with Miss Martineau. She is plain and frank in her manners, and not less hanning, and no doubt will do him much good. During Miss Martineau's stay at Dr. Channing's, relates Mrs. Chapman (Ms. Ny, March 6.

e very [near] producing a mobocratic explosion. He was replied to by Phillips with great effect. Several excellent resolutions, drawn up by Dr. Channing, passed with unexpected unanimity. The triumph has been a signal one for our side (Ms.) In this famous scene the Attorney-General spoke from the gallery, near the great gilded eagle; Mr. Phillips, from a lectern, in the body of the hall, from which Dr. Channing read his resolutions. See Mrs. Chapman's graphic account in a letter to Harriet Martineau (The Martyr Age, Westminster Review, December, 1838). His speech had already been delivered in the Liberator, and in the resolutions Lib. 7.191. (evidently from his hand) adopted by the Board of Managers. From his first editorial utterance some extracts must here be made. The amiable, benevolent, intrepid Lovejoy, he exclaimed, is no more! . . . In his martyrdom Lovejoy was certainly a martyr, said Mr. Garrison later (Lib. 8.3), but, strictly speaking, he was not—at least in our o

m it has been aptly said, that he severs at a blow what others would be a great while in sawing off. The justly celebrated and discriminating English lady, Miss Martineau, who travelled in our country in 1836, says that having heard every species of abuse of Mr. Garrison, she resolved to have an interview with him, which she thus describes. . . . Ante, p. 69. These extracts are taken from the second volume of Miss Martineau's Retrospect of Western Travel. I recommend to your notice her whole description of the man, which I think remarkably just. As Mr. Garrison is now absent to spend the summer in Connecticut, I shall suggest to the pro tem. editor of the Liberator to publish in the next Liberator Miss Martineau's Lib. 8.104. whole description of Mr. Garrison. I send also per mail the Prospectus to the 8th volume of the Liberator, and a poetical effusion entitled True Rest, which will give you some idea of his religious opinions and views of human government.

In a like spirit, Harriet Martineau wrote to Mrs. Chapman: Garrison was quite right, I think, to sit in the gallery of Lib. 10.174. the Convention. I conclude you think so.

Wilson, Nuttall, and Audubon were professed ornithologists; the Bartrams and Michaux, botanists. Schoolcraft was an ethnologist, Chevalier a student of political economy, Fanny Wright a social reformer. Grund, Combe the phrenologist, and Miss Martineau had a special interest in humanitarian projects. Richard Weston was a bookseller, John M. Peck a Baptist missionary, DeWitt Clinton, who explored the route of the future Erie Canal, a statesman. Many others had eyes trained in surveying. Btores for the study of natural history will always be at hand, and for all other sciences the scholar will be secluded in a romantic retirement which will give additional zest to his researches. The attention of others, as Fanny Kemble and Harriet Martineau, is drawn to the negro and his master in the South, more than ever, perhaps, after the anti-slavery agitation in England. But the interest in slavery, in frontier life, and indeed in all the main topics of the later travellers, is not pe

He might then have chosen a subject upon which all persons would have agreed; but, had he done so, he would not have been Wendell Phillips. For him it was an opportunity, and in his address on The scholar in the Republic, he delivered one of the most remarkable efforts of the century. Mr. Phillips spoke for the last time in public, on the occasion of the unveiling of the statue of Harriet Martineau in the Old South Meeting-house, Dec. 26, 1883. His days came to a close on Feb. 2, 1884. The cause of his death was angina pectoris. No eulogy of Wendell Phillips is required. A man whose name is stamped upon every page of the most memorable epoch of American history is not likely to be soon forgotten. No age ever produced a greater master of invective, no voice ever aroused a more bitter hatred in unsympathetic minds. They who the most keenly felt the sting of his eloquence c
