ommon view of the inspiration of the Scriptures in which he had been bred. This, though not the lowest possible stage of descent—for an Anti-Bible Convention or Society was conceivable—was practically to touch bottom, and left nothing to be desired by his clerical detractors. The first quarter of the year had been spent in and about Boston, but by the middle of April Mr. Garrison began his labors in the more distant fields. An antislavery convention had been called in Cincinnati for April 19, 1853, by the women of that city, and he was invited to attend. The scene was new to him, and he Ms. Apr. 18, 1853, W. L. G. to H.

On the day appointed he stood on the banks of the Ohio, and beheld for the first time the slave-cursed soil of Kentucky. For him the stream was perilously narrow, yet words of welcome and of fellowship had been sped across it from an exholder, Cassius M.

The friendly meeting at Andover cannot be exactly dated, but it probably took place in the second week of December. I was dreadfully afraid of your father, Mrs. Stowe has since said to one of Garrison's children; To F. J. G., at the Garden Party given her by her publishers in 1882. but the conference under her roof dispelled that feeling forever. His spirit captivated her as it had done many another of like prejudices. You have, she wrote to him on December 12, 1853, a remarkable tact at conversation. On Aug. 7, 1854, Wendell Phillips wrote to Elizabeth Pease Nichol (Miss Pease had married Prof. John Nichol of the Glasgow Observatory on July 6, 1853): Mrs. Stowe has been so intimate, confidential and closely allied with us all here, visiting W.

tive speech of Mr. Garrison's during the year was that delivered at the New Lib. 23:[87], 93. England Convention in Boston on May 26. It expounded the constitution and philosophy of the anti-slavery movement, proved its catholicity, and vindicated the criticism meted out on its platform to all who took their stand on it. In form, scope, and strictness of reasoning it was a classical production. But we must pass it by, for the Bible Convention is only a week off. In the Liberator of April 22, 1853, appeared a call to Lib. 23.63. the friends of free discussion, without distinction of sex, color, sect, or party, to meet at Hartford, Conn., on Thursday, June 2, to Sunday, June 5, for the purpose of freely and fully canvassing the origin, authority, and influence of the Jewish and Christian Scriptures. It was signed by Andrew Jackson Davis, William Green, Jr., and William P. Donaldson. Mr. Green we have already met at the founding of the American Anti-Slavery Ante, 1.398, 401, 415.
