t various points of interest. Webster regretted missing you very much; but he promised himself the pleasure of showing you the hospitalities of Washington. He told me that your speech in Yorkshire was the best piece of popular eloquence called out by the recent general election. You know what I think of it. But I will stop; for this letter is a random shaft, which may never reach you. . . . Ever and ever sincerely yours, Charles Sumner To Lord Morpeth, New York. Boston, Saturday, Nov. 27, 1841. my dear Morpeth,—We all regret your long absence, and complain of the good people of New York, who detain you.

W. Emerson and George Ripley, was the editor. Its first number was issued in April, 1840, and its last in July, 1844. which has been started by Mr. Emerson,—the same who was reviewed by Milnes. The first article in both numbers is by Emerson. People have laughed at it here very much. I am curious to know if it finds a more kindly reception with you. Emerson and his followers are called Transcendentalists. I am at a loss to know what they believe.
