Sumner's social range in Boston was, at this period, quite limited; but the few families he visited were those on whose fidelity and sympathy he could always count. He was on a familiar footing in the houses of Hillard, Samuel Lawrence, Robert B. Forbes, and Park Benjamin, then living with his sisters, who afterwards became Mrs. J. Lothrop Motley and Mrs. Stackpole. Hillard's kind words had opened the doors of some of these houses to Sumner. Oliver Wendell Holmes, then a young physician, visited most if not all of these families. There was no want of good talking at a dinner or supper where Hillard, Benjamin, Holmes, and Sumner were gathered. Sumner was accustomed to call at William Sullivan's and Judge William Prescott's, both friends of his father; at Jeremiah Mason's, Samuel Austin's, and Mrs. James Perkins's. He fr

ch were paid to him. . . . At the bottom of his heart, I believe Charles Sumner loved the old country next best after his own. But to be wroth with those we love, Doth work like madness in the brain; and I am sure that nobody would have hailed with greater satisfaction the restoration of feelings of cordial amity in the great Centenary of Independence. He ranks among us with those Americans whom we would most willingly recognize as our countrymen,—Everett, Ticknor, Adams, Longfellow, Motley, and Winthrop,—all, I think, citizens of Massachusetts, and all equally welcome to England. In some respects, Sumner was the most genial of them all. He came here young; he had no stiffness or reserve in his character; and he will always be remembered and regretted by us as one of the most agreeable companions we have known. Dowager Lady Wharncliffe, who survives her late husband, John Stuart Wortley, second Lord Wharncliffe, writes:— I never knew an American who had the degree of<

Hayden intimated that the source from which they came affected his action in a measure. The rejection of the resolutions was the subject of discussion in the newspapers. Boston Atlas, September 17; Boston Whig, September 16, 17, 18, 20, 21. Sumner was placed at the head of the list of delegates, exceeding one hundred in number, among whom were Winthrop, Adams, J. Lothrop Motley, G. T. Curtis, and P. w. Chandler. Rev. A. P. Putnam,— then a youth, since well known as a clergyman,—after speaking of the great public interest felt at the time in Sumner on account of his addresses of transcendent merit, especially his Fourth of July oration, and of his being then regarded as a most able, fearless, and eloquent representative of the Conscience Whigs and champion of freedom, writes:— The interest which he was now attracting to himself was very marked; and as h<

He witnessed the ceremonies of Easter; listened in St. Peter's to the Miserere from the Doria gallery; was greatly interested in the bronze doors for our national Capitol, still in the studio of Rogers, to whom he suggested persons and events for commemoration; talked earnestly with Story and with Hamilton Wild of statuary and paintings; met other friends from Boston,—Edward N. Perkins, Turner Sargent, J. L. Motley, Miss Emma Weston, and Hawthorne, then writing his Marble Faun; passed many hours in studios,—those of Story, Rogers, Overbeck, Cranch, Lehman, Hosmer, Ives, and Page; made a melancholy visit to that of Crawford, which still held the artist's unfinished works; gathered a stock of photographs at Macpherson's; visited with Bemis galleries and churches and studios. The latter wrote in his journal: He talked with Page about art, and evidently made an impression; he talked about the historica
