advanced in years, and at Portland enjoyed an opportunity of meeting his much-valued friend, Charles S. Daveis. This journey is in scenery and association, perhaps, the most attractive which the continent affords,—the Hudson River, the falls at Trenton, Niagara, and Montmorency, Lake Champlain, which Sumner had traversed in school-boy days, the St. Lawrence, Montreal, and Quebec, both cities of ancient and foreign aspect, and the White Mountains of New Hampshire. He reached Boston, after fives meet you at every turn. Sept. 8. I have just returned from a visit to the Falls of Montmorency, nine miles from Quebec, a slender and rather beautiful single fall of water, said to be two hundred and forty feet high; but, to the visitor of Trenton and Niagara, Montmorency seems like a mill-dam. And yet I am glad to have seen it, for it has enlarged my standard of comparison of Nature's works, and has satisfied a curiosity which I can date back to the time when I first studied geography u

you by the hand and tell you my joy. Dr. Lieber had just returned from a visit to the West Indies. All your friends here are well. Dr. Palfrey is well; and Judge Story as ever is in an overflow of spirits. He is now on his circuit in Rhode Island, and will not return for several days. The second volume of his work on Equity Jurisprudence has appeared since you left our terra firma. He is now engaged in preparing the report of the Massachusetts Commissioners, of whom he is chairman, onr a dissolution did not take a case out of the statute; and I took a technical distinction, which enabled me to evade the force of the late Massachusetts and English cases, so as to decide the case independent of them. The venue being laid in Rhode Island removed it from their influence; but I put it on grounds which may be maintained in Massachusetts even in the face of those cases. In the other case I held that the deposition of the Hindu priest was admissible, for reasons which I will expla

dship. In August and September, 1836, he took a vacation, the only one which he is known to have taken during his first three years of practice. He visited Niagara Falls, going by the way of New York City and the Hudson River, and returning by the way of Canada, the White Mountains, and Portland. At New York he called on Chancw are all friends? Bright eyes and fair faces? With love to all my friends, Ever yours, C. S. To George S. Hillard.

rse; that the judge is well; that Cushing is lord of my chair, and that all friends are as they were. I give you joy in Greenleaf's visits. While you have been easy and calm as a summer's morning, I have been jolted over hundreds of miles of rough roads, and kept in a constant state of occupation and fermentation, by change of scene, accommodation, and objects of interest. I have literally not had time to sketch a word even to you or my sister before yester noon, except the scrawl of Saratoga Springs, which I trust you received tanquam sero. Since that note I have been to Ballston, where I passed two most agreeable days in company with several delightful women and men. Of the women, by far the most to my taste was Mrs. William Kent, with whom I could talk the livelong night, as she had that prompt, suggestive manner, combined of voice and expression, which would not suffer the springs of conversation to cease their flow. Mrs. De Witt Clinton, Judge Spencer, and many other interesti

The Law School is flourishing beyond a parallel, containing now upwards of fifty students. Believe me, with great esteem, Most truly yours, Chas. Sumner. To Dr. Francis Lieber, Columbia, S. C.

Besides the usual stock of things to do, I have been compelled to prepare anew a whole number of the Jurist, which was burnt

ther than upon the law itself. His learning and comprehension of the principles of the law were appreciated by his friends, who frequently applied to him for his views as well as for cases in point. Among these were Mr. Daveis, Mr. Appleton, of Bangor, now Chief-Justice of Maine, Mr. Parsons, and his classmate Browne. Sumner's time was much occupied, in 1835-36, in revising and completing Dunlap's Admiralty Practice. The author, Andrew Dunlap, had mainly written the text of his book; when,of his law-office, altogether too much literary drudgery. George Gibbs wrote to him from Paris, Sept. 16, 1835, You do not do justice to yourself in some of your undertakings, from the speed with which they are prepared. Mr. Appleton wrote from Bangor, Dec. 6, of that year, There is one word of advice to you, my friend; that is, not to labor too hard. Sumner himself afterwards thought that he had given too much of his time to writing for magazines. But his health did not fail him. He was rar

He was very fond of Sumner, and took a great interest in his career. John Appleton, The present Chief-Justice of Maine. In a letter of May 18, 1837, Sumner wrote: Mr. Appleton is a writer of great nerve, boldness, and experience, with a Benthamic point and force. Dr. I.

ou have expressed in the jurisprudence of my country. Your promise to furnish an article for the American Jurist has given me and my collaborateurs the greatest pleasure. We hope to receive it very soon. The subject of codification is deeply interesting to us at this moment. Commissioners in Massachusetts are now engaged in reducing to a code our criminal law. I think it will take them upwards of two years to accomplish this; and then the Legislature may reject their labors, as that of Louisiana did the code of Livingston. The Report of the Penal Code of Massachusetts was not made till 1844; it was then referred to the next legislature, and no further action taken. While the attention of the bar and the public is directed to this subject, an article from a person so competent and distinguished as you are would be read with the greatest interest. Let me ask you to persevere in your promise. My associates and myself will be glad to send in return some contribution to your very

Dr. Francis Lieber. Boston, June 28, 1836. my dear friend, The omitted parts of this and other letters to Dr. Lieber relate largely to Sumner's efforts in obtaining the publication of Dr. Lieber's writings.—. . . Judge Story showed me a letter from you, from which it appears that you have received Mittermaier's articles. I also received your National Gazette and the United States Gazette, containing the annunciation of your appointment. To a professorship in the University of South Carolina. Have you translated the articles yet? How long are they? Do you propose to publish them? If you have not time to translate them, send them here and I will have them translated for the Jurist. American Jurist, Oct., 1835, Vol. XIV. pp. 330-344. Judge Story always speaks of you with the liveliest regard. He says you always, when he converses with you, set him a-thinking. I am glad you propose to publish your Recollections of Niebuhr. I thought some time ago that you might profita
