cott, Longfellow in his diary, May 20, 1846, gives an account of one of the dinners at Prescott's where Sumner was present.

I have mourned with the father in his second loss. Two such sons are rarely given to a single father. To John Bigelow, June 6:— . . . Mr. Ticknor's book is a good dictionary of Spanish literature; but, he is utterly incompetent to appreciate the genius of Spain. Sumner, writing to Longfellow from Montpellier, France, Jan. 24, 1859, said that M. Moudot, the lecturer on Spanish literature at the University, had changed his purpose to translate Ticknor's work into French, being discouraged by its dryness and dictionary character. He cannot look at it face to face. Besides, his style is miserably dry and crude. As a politician her

Mr. Ticknor and George T. Curtis attended the meeting where this decision was made, and both were chosen officers for the first time. They had taken no interest in the subject before, and their political hostility to Sumner and Dr. Howe, as well as Mr. Ticknor's kinship with Mr. Eliot, account for their selection. Eliot became president; and Dwight continued in office till his death, in 1854. In 1855 no officers were chosen, and Mr. Eliot took the chair in the presence of three reporters and only

The feeling became so pervasive in Boston's Belgravia that a lady living on Beacon Street, who had invited Sumner with other guests to dinner, received a withdrawal of an acceptance from one of them when he found Sumner was to be present, although he was not at all in politics, and had no personal grievance.
