P. Jewett and Company, in a volume with elegant illustrations by Edwin T. Billings, and should find a place in every library. While abroad, Mr. Sumner's attention was naturally drawn to the condition of European prisons; and he availed himself of the opportunities afforded him by intercourse with distinguished friends of humanity, to study their various systems of discipline. On returning he continued his investigations on this subject; and in connection with Dr. Samuel G. Howe, the Rev. Francis Wayland, and other gentlemen, became deeply interested in the course of the Boston Prison Discipline Society, and in the improvement of the condition of the prisons of our own country. Of the various systems in vogue, Mr. Sumner deprecated that of the promiscuous commingling of prisoners in one company, and also that of absolute solitude, endangering the health and preventing reformation. With the distinguished M. de Tocqueville, he favored the Pennsylvania system which embraced these ele

I feel very humble just now, yet I have to say that being lives not who would have received from your lectures as much as I should. There are noble books, but one wants the breath of life sometimes. And I see no divine person. I myself am more divine than any I see. I think that is enough to say about. them. I know Dr. Wayland now, but I shall not care for him. He would never understand me, and, if I met him, it must be by those means of suppression and accommodation which I at present hate to my heart's core. I hate everything that is reasonable just now, wise limitations and all. I have behaved much too well for some time past; it has spoiled my peace. What grieves me, too, is to find or fear my theory a cheat. I cannot serve two masters, and I fear all the hope of being a worldling and a literary existenc

friends of peace, they ought not to defy public opinion, however wrong. It was not otherwise with the most eminent professors and teachers of religion. Harriet Martineau, en route from Salem to Providence, had passed through the mob some time after it had begun to assemble. Her Society in America, 1, § 4. fellow-passengers, connecting the well-dressed crowd with the adjacent Post-office, naturally supposed it was a busy foreignpost day. At Providence the truth reached her: President Wayland [of Brown University] agreed with me Autobiography, 1.346, and Society in America, 1, § 4. at the time about the iniquitous and fatal character of the outrage; but called on me, after a trip to Boston, to relieve my anxiety by the assurance that it was all right,—the mob having been entirely composed of gentlemen! William Goodell writes to Mr. Garrison from Providence, Feb. 25, 1836: Have you read Wayland's Elements [of moral science] ? There are a few pages in it that squint hard

individual remotely connected with slaveholding, in reading Dr. C.'s book through, shows plainly the inefficacy, nay the deleterious tendency, of such a give-and-take-again production. Your other objection is a vital one—Dr. C.'s separates the sinner from his sin. This is a radical defect; and a book which is radically defective will never aid in reforming a radically corrupt nation. There is one individual whom Dr. C. deigns to quote approvingly—but he is not an abolitionist—viz., Pres. Wayland. I cannot think that Dr. C. is ignorant of the writings of abolitionists. He has long been a subscriber to the Liberator, and has been presented with many other anti-slavery publications. The Emancipator, as the official organ of the national society, I presume he has carefully perused; and there is the strongest possible evidence that your essays upon Human Rights were before him when he wrote his chapter upon the same subject. I shall have occasion to allude to your essays in my <
