nly be known through the sympathy of the imagination, the Indians. There is no book of travels, except, perhaps, Mrs. Jameson's, which gives more access to those finer traits of Indian character that are disappearing so fast amid persecution and demoralization. But the book as a whole, is very fragmentary and episodical, and in this respect, as well as in the wide range of merit and demerit in the verses here and there interspersed, it reminds one of Thoreau's Week on the Concord and Merrimack rivers. It is hardly possible, however, to regret these episodes, since one of them contains that rare piece of childish autobiography, Mariana; which is however separated from its context in her collected works. In 1844. she removed to New York. It is not the least of Horace Greeley's services to the nation, that he was willing to entrust the literary criticisms of the Tribune to one whose standard of culture was so far above that of his readers or his own. Nevertheless, there she remai

g the question, whether an agreement to procure a certain location for a railway-station is void as against public policy, and suggested the point on which the case was decided. Fuller v. Dame, 18 Pickering's Reports, p. 472. Sumner's name does not appear in the report of the case. Among his papers is an elaborate opinion, written in 1835, which reviews at length the authorities on a question arising under the law of watercourses,—whether the proprietors of mills at Lowell on the Merrimac River, which is fed by the waters of Lake Winnipiseogee, have a right of action against parties who divert for mill-uses the waters of Merrymeeting Pond, which flow into the Lake. In June, 1835, he was appointed by Judge Story a commissioner of the Circuit Court of the United States, Office resigned by letter, Dec. 9, 1853, but vacated by law on his acceptance of the office of Senator, in 1851. and a year later was admitted to practice in that court.

ns its real growth after the death of an author; and such is the fame of Thoreau. Before his death he had published but two books, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, and Walden. Four more have since been printed, besides a volume of his letters and two biographies. One of these last appeared within a year or two in Engthan his description, in his unpublished diary, of receiving from his publisher the unsold copies — nearly the whole edition — of his Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, and of his carrying the melancholy burden up-stairs on his shoulders to his study. I have now a library, he says, of nearly nine hundred volumes, over seveyear or two past, my publisher, Munroe, has been writing from time to time to ask what disposition should be made of the copies of A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, still on hand, and at last suggesting that he had use for the room they occupied in his cellar. So I had them all sent to me here; and they have arrived to

loom, and the bushy Wild Indigo. The variety of hues increases; delicate purple Orchises bloom in their chosen haunts, and Wild Roses blush over hill and dale. On peat-meadows the Adder's-Tongue Arethusa (now called Pogonia) flowers profusely, with a faint, delicious perfume,—and its more elegant cousin, the Calopogon, by its side. In this vicinity we miss the blue Harebell, the identical harebell of Ellen Douglass, which I remember as waving its exquisite flowers along the banks of the Merrimack, and again at Brattleborough, below the cascade in the village, where it has climbed the precipitous sides of old buildings, and nods inaccessibly from their crevices, in that picturesque spot, looking down on the hurrying river. But, with this exception, there is nothing wanting here of the familiar flowers of early summer. The more closely one studies Nature, the finer her adaptations grow. For instance, the change of seasons is analogous to a change of zones, and summer assimilates

The terms of the grant—all the land lying between Concord and Merrimac rivers—would seem to include Lowell; yet an Indian village then occupied that territory, and such villages were generally protected.
