arm and wake The hearts of men from age to age. This poem of fifty-three verses touches many points of Sumner's character and life. Sumner wrote to Whittier, April 11, 1849:— I have copied from Mrs. Jameson all that relates to Saint Mark and the Christian slave. This was the suggestion of Whittier's Legend of Saint Mark.

His wanderings during October cannot be traced in order; but after Bellagio he visited Milan, Brescia, Vicenza, Verona, and Venice. From Italy he went to Vienna, Prague, and Dresden. At Berlin he had an interview with Alexander von Humboldt, Humboldt, in appointing the interview, bore tribute to Sumner's noble sentiments. The baron was astonished when assured that Mr. h come. They did not doubt the result. Victory seemed to be already stooping to them; and before them was the beautiful idea of Italy redeemed from the foreigner.
