hat I have made two unsuccessful attempts to obtain it from Mudie's circulating library (the greatest in the world), where there is a large number of copies. The answer on both occasions was, that every copy was in the hands of subscribers. Mrs. Stowe's eloquent and beautiful address to the women of England is exciting great interest, and cannot fail to do much good. It was published by Sampson Low & Co. on Jan. 7, 1863. Wednesday, in the form of a small volume; and it has since been reprinted entire in the columns of the Morning Star and the Daily News —a remarkable tribute to the popularity of Mrs. Stowe in this country, as well as a proof of the earnest interest which these journals take in the good work. It could not have appeared at a more favorable moment, for on Tuesday last the Jan. 6, 1863.

at year, and in a lecture which he delivered in Auburn, Syracuse, and elsewhere. Mar. 7, 8. In the month of January he had experienced a severe fall in Boston, as he was on his way to spend the evening at the house of James T. Fields, with Mrs. Stowe, Harriet Beecher Stowe.

He had hardly recovered from the effects Harriet Beecher Stowe. Governor Andrew, and other friends, and struck the icy pavement with such violence that his right hand and shoulder were badly bruised, and his arm almost paralyzed for a time. He had hardly recovered from the effects of it when he had the misfortune to fall a second time, as he was hurrying to a train, and again struck Ms. June 6, 1866, W. L. G. to S. J. May. heavily on his right arm and shoulder. This accident caused him many months of suffering, and effectually disabled him from any literary or other work for the rest of the year. It supplied, too, a sufficient reason for his not attempting a task to which he was strongly urged by his friends, namely, the preparation of a History of the Anti-Slavery M

of a life devoted to a great and unselfish purpose. Assured that you will take our application in good part, and hoping most earnestly that you will see fit to comply with the request it contains, we are, dear Mr. Garrison, most respectfully and affectionately, your friends. The signatures to this letter included the familiar names of Quincy, Sewall, Chapman, Weston, Whittier, Mott, McKim, May, Smith, Weld, Grimke, Grew, and Burleigh, with those of Henry Wilson, Henry Ward Beecher, Mrs. Stowe, James Freeman Clarke, and others. But the labor asked of him seemed scarcely less formidable to Mr. Garrison than the still unwritten history of the anti-slavery movement, and he preferred discussing the topics of the day to recording his life-experiences for posterity. Referring to the ill-health which had in part deterred him from attempting the larger work, he said, in replying to Mar. 17, 1873. these friends: It is extremely problematical, therefore, whether I shall yet be s

He derived much innocent amusement from the idiosyncrasies of his co-laborers,—as they Ante, 3.82-84, 91, 156, 198; 4.323. were free to do from his,—and he contributed his full share to the flow of wit in those choice gatherings where Thompson, Phillips, and Quincy vied with each other. There was, however, a limitation to this humor: On anything that he deems a serious subject, he won't bear a jest, wrote Quincy to Webb in 1843. Ms. Nov. 27. Mrs. Stowe has borne witness to my father's singular tact in conversation, adapting himself unconsciously to Ante, 3.401. his auditor. As he had a very poor memory for past events even in his own experience, he seldom indulged in reminiscence. The only autobiographical sketch known to have been drafted by him was (on request) for Oliver Johnson's use in preparing the article Garrison in Appletons' New American Cyclopaedia, in 1859. This Ms. is probably still in existence, but its whereabouts is
