Boston, November 18, 1857. dear Head,—The last time I saw you, I think you were in the hands of a London police officer. See ante, p. 398. Of course we are all, in proportion, glad to find you safely returned to Toronto, and I should have told you so some days since, but I thought it was better to wait until you were fairly settled, and had got through your fosphere. I wish you had come this way, and given us a week. Yours faithfully, Geo. Ticknor From Sir Edmund Head. Toronto, November 21, 1857. my dear Ticknor,—I got your letter this morning, and I was very glad to hear so good an account oears at heart,—I mean that of making a good long visit at Niagara, where we shall be so near you that we can run down to Toronto, and spend a few days with you, at any time that it will be easiest and pleasantest for you to receive us.

Toronto is much more of a place, and there are more cultivated people there, than I had any notion of. They have a good college for certain purposes, but the Province has another, on a larger and more liberal scale. They are just completing for it a very large stone building,—three sides of a quadrang<

The following letter contains an allusion to this:— Boston, October 1, 1859. dear Lady Lyell,—I came home some days ago and found your precious packet. Lady Lyell's reminiscences of Mr. Prescott.

But I cannot speak of this, or hardly of anything else, without recollecting the Heads. I worked on Prescott's Life when I was at Toronto; but how changed is everything there now! What sorrow! what sorrow! Sir Edmund Head lost his only son by drowning at this time. . . . . We only know thus far what the telegraph has told us. . . . . But we shall have letters in a day or two.
