ioned seat,—which may with propriety be called the bench, in contradistinction to the chair, which is the seat of a professor. I shall begin with the common law, and, of course, with the Queen's Bench. You know Lord Denman Thomas Denman, 1779-1854, ante, Vol. I. p. 330.

His chief works are the Chanting Cherubs; The Angel and Child; Venus contending for the Golden Apple; the statue of Washington; and The Rescue.

Boston, Aug. 31, 1843. dear, dear Howe,—Your precious letter from London of Aug. 2 amused and touched me. It is a mark of distinction, certainly, to be blackballed by kings. The Prussian Government had just refused to revoke an order expelling Dr. Howe from the country, which was made in 1832, on account of his support of the Polish cause Greene, who is here now, says you are on the black list of Naples, and doubts if you can find admission there. And will Austria receive the rejected of Prussia? During the last week and more, we have had Lieber here,—also Greene from Rome. Both talk of you with warm affection. Greene is gentle and kind, and remembers well the little feasts with you. He has only a very short leave of absence, and will be in Rome in November. He tells us of

Dr. Howe undertook to test both phrenology and animal magnetism by experiments. At his rooms persons were put into the magnetic state; and then the parts of the head to which the several organs were assigned were pressed by the hand, the subject manifesting emotions corresponding to the organ so pressed,—as,
