Sumner first made the acquaintance of Lady Anson in London, who introduced him, at an interview specially arranged, to her father. She also interested herself to have him see the Bridgewater and Grosvenor collections of pictures. Her note of Oct. 20, 1838, welcomed him to Holkham. You would be amused to see Lord Spencer, John Charles, third Earl of Spencer, 1782-1845. As Lord Althorp, he served in the House of Commons from 1804 to 1834, and was Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1830 to 1834. His integrity and good sense won him a leading position in Parliament. Miss Martineau, referring to his retirement, says: Lord Althorp, now become Lord Spencer, was thus soon at liberty to enter upon the privacy he sighed for. He never returned to office. Perhaps no man ever left the House of Commons and an official seat, about whom there was so little differe

Campbell is upwards of sixty. He is rather short and stout, and has not the air of a gentleman. He takes brandy and water instead of wine. He did not get to throwing decanters or their stoppers; though when he left (which was sufficiently early) his steps did not appear very steady. He does not think of visiting America; but he said that he

Not until 1782 was our first Bible in English published, by Robert Aitken at Philadelphia. But no doubt thought that the situation had been fully met, even though as early as 1782 Jeremy Belknap See Book II, Chap.

Under this new state of things Master Kendall's salary was fixed at thirty pounds and his board, as appears by a vote of the Selectmen, April 7, 1783, to engage with Mr. Asa Packard to keep the Grammar School in this town for three months, to commence on Thursday next, Mr. Samuel Kendall closed his three years service April 10, 1783, having taught the Grammar School more than two years before he graduated at H.

D. from Yale College, 1806. at the rate of thirty pounds per annum, and his board to be found for him, it being upon the same terms that Mr. Kendall kept it. Fifty years later, it appears by the Report of the Auditing Committee, April 19, 1833, that the salary of the schoolmasters (of whom there were then five) was five hundred and fifty dollars,—each providing his own board; since which time
