Garrison had seen the Genius, and so known of Lundy, whom he had imagined a Hercules in shape and size; and his disappointment was great, at first, when he beheld a diminutive and slender person,—the last man, by his appearance, that he would have selected as a reformer. Clarkson, when asked, in his old age, if Wilberforce was not diminutive in person, replied, with kindling eye, Yes, but think of the magnitude of his theme! the majesty of his cause! (Lib., 10.193.) Instead of being able to withstand the tide of public Journal of the Times, Dec. 12, 1828. opinion, he wrote, a few months later, in describing Lundy, it would at first seem doubtful whether he could sustain a temporary conflict with the winds of heaven.

This included the names of James Mott, of Philadelphia, Dr. Bartholomew Fussell, of Kennett Square, Pa., and Samuel Philbrick, of Boston, none of whom were then personally known to Mr. Garrison, but who subsequently became his life-long friends and co-workers; and also James Cropper, of Liverpool. It was doubtless to the last-named gentleman, an active supporter of Wilberforce and Buxton in the English anti-slavery movement, that Lundy and Garrison were indebted for a frequent supply of reports and other publications showing the progress of the agitation for West-India emancipation. They published considerable extracts from these in the Genius, contrasting the activity of the British with the apathy of the American abolitionists, and trying to incite the latter to similar effort. Special attention was called to the English Ladies' Anti-Slavery Societies, in t

rica, and cooperate with the little band of abolitionists who were there struggling against wind and tide, my mission would be crowned with the highest success. One day as I was dining at the house of Thomas Fowell Buxton, The successor of Wilberforce in Parliament. in London, our conversation naturally turned upon the state of the abolition question in the United States. In the course of many inquiries, he kindly remarked, that, as the friends of negro emancipation in England had nearly it their funds abroad; he had secured that sympathy and authority and pecuniary assistance for his own movement; and he was now to bring English opinion to bear directly on the United States by introducing a champion of the victorious cause of Wilberforce and Clarkson. The last step was undoubtedly the most venturesome of the three, but the candid historian must hesitate to pronounce it ill-advised, whether Mr. Garrison's object was to cement the philanthropic English alliance, to shame his c
