k leading parts, these lectures having much formative power over the intellect of the nation. Conspicuous among the lecturers also were such men as Gough, Beecher, Chapin, Whipple, Holland, Curtis, and lesser men who are now collectively beginning to fade into oblivion. With these may be added the kindred force of Abolitionists, headed by Wendell Phillips and Frederick Douglass, whose remarkable powers drew to their audiences many who did not agree with them. Women like Lucretia Mott, Anna Dickinson, and Lucy Stone joined the force. These lectures were inseparably linked with literature as a kindred source of popular education; they were subject, however, to the limitation of being rather suggestive than instructive, because they always came in a detached way and so did not favor coherent thinking. The much larger influence now exerted by courses of lectures in the leading cities does more to strengthen the habit of consecutive thought than did the earlier system; and such courses

e, or even very soon, upon this prompting; the difficulties to be overcome were many. My husband was himself averse to public appearances. Women speakers were few in those days, and were frowned upon by general society. He would have been doubly sensitive to such undesirable publicity on my account. Meantime, the exigencies of the time were calling one woman after another to the platform. Lucy Stone devoted the first years of her eloquence to anti-slavery and the temperance reform. Anna Dickinson achieved a sudden and brilliant popularity. I did not dream of trying my strength with theirs, but I began to weave together certain essays which might be read to an invited audience in private parlors. I then commissioned certain of my friends to invite certain of their friends to my house for an appointed evening, and began, with some trepidation, my course of parlor lectures We were residing, at this time, in the house in Chestnut Street which was afterwards made famous by the sitt

r him on that "red-mouthed cyprian of fanaticism, cant, and blasphemy," Anna Dickinson: At the termination of my last letter I was sitting down to table in the immediate neighborhood of the heroine of the hour--Miss Anna Dickinson. I wonder whether some nursery discipline of a gentle sort might not be beneficial in curbiivities of young ladies who have a mania for spouting polities. But Miss Anna Dickinson is from any point of view a great fact "Joan of Arc," scream the enraptu the young blood of the nation. " There are other little items for which Miss Anna Dickinson is understood to have made a "statesmanlike demand." She requires tull citizen ship, with the ownership in fee of agricultural land."

At night theatres, gambling houses, "Varieties," and worse dens of infamy, veiled under no pretence at disguise, vie with the attractions of the "inspired Maid of Philadelphia," Miss Anna Dickinson Mr. Seward's optimism is accepted without thought or comment; no sound of war save the occasional boom of cannon being tried at the Navy Yard (a sound soothing to Yankee vanity) ever flutters the senses; Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Chase openly, and Mr. Seward secretly, are speculating much more as to their chances for the next Presidency than as to the strength of Gen. Lee or the designs of President Davis. Proceed next to New York, and the recollections of Richmond, blurred by intercou
