writing, wrote seldom, but always, whenever he wrote, with the old affection. Monckton Milnes kept him informed of social interests and the doings of literary men. Sumner in 1845 persuaded a Boston publisher to issue an edition of Milnes' poems, which came out late in that year. John Kenyon wrote of the same topics as Milnes, expressing also his affectionate regard and his admiration for what Sumner had done, which he valued for its intellectual and still more for its moral bearing. Robert Ingham's letters showed the same tenderness as in personal intercourse, and related what was interesting in English politics and the circles of lawyers and judges. Joseph Parkes, who retired in 1850 from active professional work, wrote also of politics and the Oregon boundary question,—the latter being a topic which Thomas Falconer, who had carefully investigated it, also treated in his letters. Other friends recurred to this international dispute, which promised at one time to lead to a ser

He added: We have made up our fagots for life, and we will not wrangle or establish raws upon subjects on which we shall never agree, but will respect each other's intellectual rights and accept each other's convictions as facts. English friends sent congratulations. Ingham wrote as to his election: You may well believe how it has gratified your many friends; and not merely from their sympathy with your personal fortunes, but from their admiration of the objects and methods which have marked your course. The Earl of Carlisle wrote: I have read with great interest about you; and I hardly can invest my ingenuous, eager, young, slim friend of 1839 (was it?) and 1851 with such august and weighty and venerable associations as throng around the curule chair of the S

e, of which intelligence has just come to England. It strikes people here with amazement. . . . Lord Carlisle writes to me of his joy, after the first shock, to learn that no apprehension need be entertained for so useful and honored a life. Mr. Ingham was with me yesterday, and wanted to be informed when Congress would adjourn, as he wanted to write to you. but not to trouble you while public concerns were in your hands.

Lord Wensleydale desired particular remembrances to you. Lord Cranworth, Ingham, Senior, Parkes, Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Elgin,—all have spoken to me of you in a manner that would delight you, I know, and recall one of the brightest periods of your life.

He then went north to attend the exhibition at Manchester, and to fulfil engagements for visits at Mr. Ashworth's at Bolton, Miss Martineau's at Ambleside, and Mr. Ingham's at South Shields. From Edinburgh he penetrated into the highlands of Scotland as far as Fort Augustus, in order to visit an old acquaintance, Edward Ellice, the magnificent gallery; then to the House of Lords, where Brougham and Clarendon spoke on the slave trade; dined in the refectory of the House of Commons with Mr. Ingham; then went to a reception at Lord Wensleydale's, and another at Mr. Senior's.

Turgenev and his book. La Russie et les Busses, are mentioned in Sumner's speech on The Barbarism of Slavery, June 4, 1860; Works, vol. v. pp. 103, 104. He listened to a lecture on Schelling Printed in Memoires de l'academie des Sciences Morales et Politiques, vol. XI. p. 33. at the Institute, receiving a complimentary ticket from Mignet, the lecturer. Tender messages came across the channel from the Wharncliffes, Roebuck, Harriet Martineau, Parkes, Senior, the Duchess of Argyll, and Ingham,—all sympathetic in his suffering, and urging visits as soon as his progress to health admitted. He went some days to the galleries of the Louvre; but his best resource during the few hours not passed on his bed was in visits to the National Library, where he turned over the engravings. Mr. Bemis, who met Sumner in Paris later in his sojourn, was astonished at his efforts in studying engravings,—helped, as he was, in and out of a cab, getting in and out almost on fours, and all the time
