Edward L. Pierce, Memoir and letters of Charles Sumner: volume 2, chapter 30 (search)
of jurisprudence which he has illustrated by his genius and learning, is affectionately inscribed by Charles Sumner. The Judge wrote to him, May 28: I am rejoiced to have my name united with yours in this manner, so that the public may know how long and intimate our friendship has been, and that we may swim down the stream of time together. . And, in reference to a remark of Sumner which disparaged an editor's labors, lie added: Next to a good reporter I hold a good annotator. What were Saunders now worth but for Williams's notes? What were Coke on Littleton but for Hargrave and Butler? The Law Reporter, in announcing the edition, said: May, 1844, Vol. VII. pp. 57, 58. The publishers have secured the valuable editorial services of Charles Sumner, Esq., whose distinguished professional reputation is a sufficient assurance that the department of the work intrusted to his hands — the addition of the American cases and the recent English decisions–will be performed in a manner

ver lost. At the end of that time, that is, in the autumn of 1810, I entered the law-office of William Sullivan, Esq., son of Governor James Sullivan, and one of the most popular lawyers in Massachusetts. I read law with some diligence, but not with interest enough to attach me to the profession. I continued to read Greek and Latin, and preferred my old studies to any other. The only law-books which I remember reading with much interest were Plowden's Reports, Blackstone's Commentaries, Saunders's Reports, in Williams's edition, and Coke in black letter, which I think I never mastered. In 1813 I was admitted to the bar, at the same time with my friend, Edward T. Channing; who knew, I think, just about as much law as I did, and who afterwards deserted it for letters, and became a professor, as I did, in Harvard College. Mr. Buckminster, whose acquaintance I had made at Dr. Gardiner's, I met also at the houses of other friends. I often went to hear him preach, and, a little la

d relatives in every place. I saw, also, a man,—an artist,—severe and antique in his spirit; he seemed burdened by the sorrows of aspiration; yet very calm, as secure in the justice of fate. What he does is bad, but full of a great desire. His name is David Scott. I saw another,—a pupil of De la Roche,—very handsome, and full of a voluptuous enjoyment of nature: him I liked a little in a different way. By far the most beauteous person I have seen is Joseph Mazzini. If you ever see Saunders' People's Journal, you can read articles by him that will give you some notion of his mind, especially one on his friends, headed Italian Martyrs. He is one in whom holiness has purified, but somewhat dwarfed the man. Our visit to Mr. Wordsworth was fortunate. He is seventy-six; but his is a florid, fair old age. He walked with us to all his haunts about the house. Its situation is beautiful, and the Rydalian Laurels are magnificent. Still, I saw abodes among the hills that I should

e right of Longstreet, and at Frayser's Farm he also participated. On July 14, 1862, he was promoted major-general and put in command of a division of Longstreet's corps, consisting of the brigades of Armistead, Mahone and Wright. He took part in the Manassas campaign, and after a brief service in command of a division of the army of Tennessee, resumed the leadership of the division of Longstreet's corps, increased by the addition of the brigades of Wilcox, Featherstone, and Pryor, and Major Saunders' battalion of artillery. In conjunction with General Jackson he operated under General McLaws in the capture of Maryland Heights, and at Sharpsburg he fought at the center of the line, increasing his reputation for gallantry and coolness as a commander, and receiving a severe wound. He was in command of his division at Fredericksburg, and at Chancellorsville his division and McLaws' were under Lee's command, Longstreet being occupied in another field. Immediately after the crossing of

y by him and his officers. After the first day's fight at Lexington, while General Price was camped at the fair grounds awaiting the arrival of his camp and ammunition trains, a spirited affair occurred at Blue Mills, about thirty miles above Lexington. General Price learned that about 2,000 Kansas jayhawkers, under Lane and Montgomery, and a considerable force of regular cavalry were advancing to relieve Mulligan. At the same time a body of some 2,500 Missourians, under command of Colonel Saunders, was advancing to the assistance of Price. Price sent Gen. David R. Atchison, at one time president of the United States Senate, to meet the Missourians and hurry them forward. They reached the river at Blue Mills first, and all but 500 had crossed on the ferryboat. While these 500 were waiting for an opportunity to cross, the enemy came upon them, and there was nothing for them to do but surrender or fight it out where they stood. They chose to fight. The river bottom was heavily
