ken emotions in bosoms which could not be reached except by a pen of such commanding interest as George Sand's. To Mittermaier, Jan. 12, 1846:— I cannot forget your beautiful town and the pleasant days which I passed there, enriched by your jurisprudence and also in that of England. unworthy of an age when the law is treated as a science. Letter to Professor Mittermaier, Feb. 1, 1848 (Mss.). When in Germany I knew well the two great masters of the question of codification,— Savignya, vol. i. p. 199. in which he recalls his loved teacher, as also two friends whom he had made in Europe,—Thibaut and Mittermaier,—marks the period of the end of his legal studies and his final withdrawal from the profession. He was in 1847-1848 asionally suspended, to be renewed whenever important public interests required. From time to time came letters from Mittermaier concerning prison discipline, capital punishment, penal jurisprudence and administration, codification, and criminal

t was absent during the summer of 1846, to attend the International Penitentiary Congress at Frankfort-on-the-Main; but his Boston antagonists, though not present, more than matched him there. Sumner advised Mr. Rathbone, of Liverpool, and Dr. Julius, of Berlin, of his coming; and the former in England and the latter on the Continent were assiduous in distributing among the delegates the Liverpool edition of Sumner's recent speech. The president of the Congress was Sumner's friend, Professor Mittermaier, of Heidelberg. It was a distinguished assembly, composed of men eminent in jurisprudence and science, or practically connected with prison administration. Dwight was called to the tribune, Boston Advertiser, July 22. 1847. Law Reporter, vol.

on to keep on the side of freedom. To Lieber, June 25:— We have before us in Massachusetts a very bitter period of political strife, to last till the Presidential election. After that the Free Soil cause will be completely and without let or hindrance in the ascendant. I know public sentiment here, and I do not for a moment doubt the future. The Curtises and their associates will probably share the fate of the Hartford conventionists. I hope Hillard may be saved. To Professor Mittermaier, Heidelberg, July 8:— In the United States there is a struggle substantially coincident with yours, which is now going on. With us the slave-power is the tyranny, and it unhappily rallies to its support at the North, under the specious name of law and order, many worthy but timid men.

At Lausanne he sought the garden of the Hotel Gibbon, to look upon the view that Gibbon looked upon; the cathedral, and also the library, where he traced out the manuscripts of La Harpe prepared for his pupil the Emperor Alexander. Then, by way of Lake Neuchatel, he went on to Basle and Heidelberg, where he called on his old friends Grosch and Mittermaier, from whom he received a cordial, kind, and most friendly welcome. To the latter he wrote as he left the town a letter warm with affectionate remembrance, closing thus: I can never think of you except with gratitude for your long life filled with laborious studies and inspired by the noblest sentiments. From Mayence he descended the Rhine to Cologne, with Dr. C. E. Stowe and family as fellow-passengers. Then followed a brief excursion to Holland and Belgium, including glimpses of Amst
