rity with their sneaking train of followers: now, they rely for respect and support upon the judgment of the honest and enlightened. Then, the rank and file of party were mere political hirelings, who sold their manhood for place, who reviled and glorified, and shouted huzzas and whispered calumnies, just as they were bidden; they could fawn upon those who dispensed political patronage with a cringing servility that would shame the courtiers of Louis XIV., or the parasites and hirelings of Walpole: now, all political partisans, deriving their moral tone from the piping times of peace, are pure, disinterested patriots, who, like the Roman farmer, take office with great reluctance, and resign it again as soon as the state can spare their services. Then, prize-fighters, and blacklegs, and gamblers, having formed themselves into political clubs, were courted by men high in authority, and rewarded for their dirty and corrupting partisan services by offices of trust and responsibility: no

which the British Government intends to pursue, is not defined with as much accuracy as possible. The British Government, as the greatest power at sea, has the deepest interest in adopting a principle of action which, while it secures every advantage to commerce, will not limit the action of the British Navy in the event of a war. Lord Palmerston, therefore, is acting with statesmanlike prudence in declining to bind himself to any course of action without the maturest deliberation. And Mr. Walpole deserves well of his country in lending the weight of his authority and influence to support Ministers in their cautious policy. In the meantime it may be useful to endeavor to indicate the position which the States under President Davis now occupy with relation to those under President Lincoln, and the position which both of these Confederacies now occupy with relation to Great Britain and the rest of the world. In the first place, it is clear that, in the case of a rebellion in the

Lieutenant Charles Inglesby, 1st South Carolina Artillery, acted as Adjutant. The officers and men under my command behaved with great coolness and bravery, fighting their guns without breastworks, entirely exposed to the enemy's fire within two or three hundred yards. The Smith has been towed up the Stono and put under the guns of Fort Pemberton. In closing my report, I will not omit to mention the very signal service rendered by the Stono scouts, and also by Captain John (B. L.) Walpole. The members of the Signal Corps detailed to accompany the expedition discharged their duties with great efficiency. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Joseph A. Yates, Lieut.-Colonel comdg. expedition. The Isaac Smith had been but slightly damaged.

Street. I am grateful to you for your note of encouragement. The poem is beautiful, and must be printed. Sumner was accustomed to relate in after years, that, on the morning after the convention, a stranger, tall and dressed in black, entered his law office, and expressed a cordial approval of the part he had taken the day before. This was the beginning of his acquaintance with Francis W. Bird, 1809-. Mr. Bird is (in 1893) still active in business, politics, and general affairs. of Walpole, who as a member of the Legislature during the winter of 1846– 1847, often sought him for conference on questions concerning slavery and the Mexican War. From this time the two were in close relations of confidence, without the slightest break; and Bird's stalwart arm was always raised in Sumner's defence whenever there was any sign of attack. No surviving friend has held Sumner's memory dearer than the one who came to salute and cheer him on that morning in 1846. Sumner, after the con

the many who during the summer and autumn proffered Sumner hospitality to assist in his recovery were Francis P. Blair, Sr., from Silver Springs, Md., the brothers (W. H. and J. T.) Furness from Philadelphia, the Barclays from Baltimore, Mrs. Wadsworth from Geneseo, John Jay from Bedford, Mr. Fish from New York and Newport, John Bigelow from New York, Parke Godwin from Roslyn, Mr. Pell from the highlands of the Hudson, Mr. Adams from Quincy, Amos A.

Everywhere in the free States doors would have swung open to receive the honored guest. Yale College, in August, conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Laws.

ll times, and esteemed highly even by classical opponents of his practice, who, while they lamented his want of art, admitted that they were pleased by his wildness and nature. With the volume on Voltaire the field of controversy becomes international: Voltaire's exile and return; his initial appreciation of Shakespeare and later recoil from its revolutionary consequences; his belief in the dangers of a barbaric romanticism; his wrath at Letourneur; his controversial relations with Kames, Walpole, Johnson, and Garrick, and the retroactive effect upon his own reputation in England; finally the persistence of his authority as literary arbiter upon the Continent even to the day of Goetz von Berlichingen, when the Mede was at the gate and the handwriting clear upon the wall. The third volume centres upon Pope's and Theobald's editions of Shakespeare; the meannesses of Pope and the significance of the first version of the Dunciad as a piece of Shakespearean controversy; Bentley's emenda
