Hallam is a plain, frank man, but is said to be occasionally quite testy and restless. Charles Babbage, 1790-1871; the mathematician. himself one of the most petulant men that ever lived, told me that Hallam once lay awake all night till four o'clock in the morning, hearing the chimes and the watchman's hourly annunciation of them. When he heard the cry, Fou's not four o'clock; it wants five minutes of it! and, after this volley, at once fell asleep. At the same dinner last week, I met Hallam, Whewell, Babbage, Lyell, Sir Charles Lyell, 1797-1875. Murchison, Sir Roderick Impey Murchison, 1792-1871. Dr. Buckland, Sedgwick, Rev.

I never meet him or hear of him in society. On the bench he is always silent, and indeed is dead weight. Baron Bolland William Bolland, 177 once asked me where I should find myself, if I were an Englishman. I unhesitatingly replied: A moderate Radical,—much like the Examiner newspaper. The letter also refers to interviews with Leader, Sir William Molesworth, and George Grote, 1794-1871,—the last being described as a most remarkable man, a scholar of great acquirements. Both Sir William and Mr. Grote entertained Sumner at dinner. The former gave him a book which had belonged to Dr. Parr. And now for Italy! As ever, affection
