as necessary to tell them so. Meanwhile our elections are for emancipation and the Union. Our armies are moving slowly,—too slowly; but no reverse can change the inevitable result, which is just as sure as the multiplication table,—how soon, I know not. Whiting has returned to cheer us with good news from England that no more Alabamas will be allowed to make England a naval base. He enjoyed his day with you. But Lord John and the attorney-general Sir Roundell Palmer at Richmond, Yorkshire. Oct. 15, 1863. insist upon defending the concession of belligerency on the ocean to rebel slave-mongers without a prize court. That folly shows that there is more work to be done. We are all agreed against that. Here is the first great offence; Evarts puts this as No. 1. To take back this bloody folly will be bad for your Cabinet; but sooner or later, in some way or other, it must be done. To R.

aring to him books and pamphlets most likely to interest him. Mr. Livermore's last note to him, dated June 7, was grateful and affectionate. He died in August. Sumner at once published a tribute to his friend, in which he commemorated his refined tastes, generous sympathies, and enthusiasm in bibliography. Boston Advertiser, Sept. 2, 1865; Works, vol. IX. pp. 433-436. Sumner's early friend, the seventh Earl of Carlisle, Ante, vol. II. p. 71. died Dec. 5, 1864, at Castle Howard, Yorkshire. His disease was paralysis, which had disabled him in the summer. His niece, the Duchess of Argyll, kept Sumner informed of the progress of his malady, and his brother, Charles Howard, Younger brother of the seventh earl and son-in-law of Lord Wensleydale (Baron Parke). His only son George, who married a daughter of the second Lord Stanley of Alderley, succeeded to the earldom in 1889 by the death of his uncle, William George, eighth earl. communicated the tidings of his death.

It is held by the artist to have been a good likeness at the tine, but others express a doubt. 3. Crayon, by W. W. Story; made from sittings in 1851 at the request of the seventh Earl of Carlisle, with some final touches from Seth W. Cheney, as Story left for Europe before it was quite finished (ante, vol. III. p. 64; IV. p. 261). It has been kept at Castle Howard, Yorkshire; it is a good likeness, and represents Sumner at his best, in the fulness and strength of manhood. Prescott wrote to Sumner in January, 1852: You cannot expect a better likeness in every sense. It was lithographed by S. W. Chandler before it was sent to England. Epes Sargent wrote of the print, which was published in 1854, that it was a capital likeness, and that nothing could be better. The biographer has a copy of a photograph of the picture, taken at York since the senator's death.

ch ran east and west about in the line of Dane Hall; nothing appears north of that lane, probably because the Charlestown Path was outside of the pallysadoes and had no inhabitants. A plan of Cambridge about 1750 shows some extension of the settlement, and here we find The way to Charlestown set down, with the Coledge on the south side of it and a single house on the north side marked Mr. Foxcroft's house. Francis Foxcroft belonged to an old English family whose seat was at Leeds, in Yorkshire, near Kirkstall Abbey, whose magnificent ruins many Americans have visited. His father, Daniel, was mayor of Leeds in 1665. The son came to Boston in 1679. He, therefore, cannot be reckoned among the first settlers, but his education, abilities and wealth seem to have made him an important character from the first. In 1682 he married Elizabeth, daughter of Deputy Governor Thomas Danforth, and so connected himself with a truly great name. Mr. Danforth during his long life (born in Engl

harassed by its rulers, and prevented from the exercise of his ministry in peace. After preaching at Earles Colne somewhat more than three years (where he secured the lasting friendship of Roger Harlakenden), and about a year at Buttercrambe, Yorkshire (where he married his first wife), and another year in sundry places in Northumberland, he sought refuge from constant persecution, by a removal to New England. He failed in his first attempt, however, being driven back by stress of weather; bfor the College, north. Feb. 26, 1651-2.

1860. Edward Gardner Abbott. Captain 2d Mass. Vols. (Infantry), May 24, 1861; Brevet Major, August 9, 1862; killed at Cedar Mountain, Va., August 9, 1862. Edward Gardner Abbott, eldest son of Hon. Josiah Gardner and Caroline (Livermore) Abbott, was born at Lowell, Massachusetts, on the 29th of September, 1840, and was the eighth in descent from George Abbott, who, forced by religious scruples and the troubles of the times, emigrated from Yorkshire, England, in 1643, and settled in Andover, Massachusetts. Edward's mother was the daughter of Edmund St. Loe Livermore, Judge of the Supreme Court of New Hampshire. Judge Livermore was several times a member of Congress from Massachusetts, and was the son of Hon. Samuel Livermore, King's Attorney in New Hampshire before the Revolution, and afterwards first United States Senator from that State. As a boy Edward was active, sprightly, and high-spirited, of quick intellect, full of playfulness and life, and early manifested a m

s as fine as any in England, if not the finest .. . . . We reached home about five o'clock, rather late, for dinner was to be at six, as it is the Public Day, or the day on which the family — in observance of a custom formerly common among the chief nobility, but now hardly kept up at all except here-receive any of their neighbors who think fit to come and who think themselves fit to come. In this way Lord Fitzwilliam keeps open house once a week during the two or three months he lives in Yorkshire, it being understood that persons do not generally avail themselves of the invitation more than once in a season; and in this way he avoids all the embarrassments and heart-burnings which would be the inevitable consequence of selecting, sorting, and inviting formal parties. The whole state and ceremony of the house is observed on these occasions, to which people come ten, twenty, and even forty miles or more. To-day there were a little more than twenty, the most curious of whom was ol
