less so. It produced there as here a revolution in public sentiment upon the subject. The philanthropy and piety of Great Britain had generally prior to the unmasking of the society, looked upon it as an instrument of Emancipation, and had accordid by duplicity and misrepresentation beyond anything practiced in America. The work of deceiving the philanthropy of Great Britain was conducted by the emissary of the society, Elliott Cresson, a man perfectly fitted to perform his part with remark protest against the Colonization Society signed by Wilberforce and eleven of the most distinguished Abolitionists in Great Britain, including Buxton, Macaulay, Cropper, and Daniel O'Connell, showed how thoroughly Garrison had accomplished his missint as the name of Clarkson would have been in opposition to the society, it was not indispensable to its overthrow in Great Britain.

vertheless he held to his purpose to speak upon the subject of the placard, unwelcome though it should prove to his hearers. After reading the interrogation, I said in reply: No-broad as is the empire, and extensive as are the possessions of Great Britain, not a single white slave can be found in them all ; and I then went on to show the wide difference that exists between the condition of human beings who are held and treated as chattels personal, and that of those who are only suffering fromnal organization, The Anti-Slavery Standard, surely must not be allowed to fail for want of funds in this emergency. The Boston management rose to the occasion. Collins was sent to England in quest of contributions from the Abolitionists of Great Britain. But, great as was the need of money, the relief which it might afford would only prove temporory unless there could be effected a thorough antislavery revival. This was vital. And therefore to this end Garrison now bent his remarkable ene

parties, Whig and Democratic, as well as of those already mentioned. Uncle Tom's Cabin might fairly be classed among the large indirect results produced by Garrison. But as Phillips justly remarked, Uncle Tom would never have been written had not Garrison developed the facts; and never would have succeeded had he not created readers and purchasers. Garrisonism had become an influence, a power that made for liberty and against slavery in the United States. It had become such also in Great Britain. George Thompson, writing the pioneer of the marvelous sale of Uncle Tom in England, and of the unprecedented demand for anti-slavery literature, traced their source to his friend: Behold the fruit of your labors, he exclaimed, and rejoice. Mr. Garrison's pungent characterization of the Union at the dinner of the Free Democracy as but another name for the iron reign of the slavepower, found almost instant illustration of its truth in the startling demand of that power for the repeal

live to witness the abolition of slavery or not, I felt assured that, as I demanded nothing that was not clearly in accordance with justice and humanity, sometime or other, if remembered at all, I should stand vindicated in the eyes of my countrymen. The names of John Bright, John Stuart Mill, William E. Foster, and Samuel Morley, among the contributors to the fund, lent to the testimonial an international character. In May, 1867, Garrison went abroad the fourth time, and traveled in Great Britain and on the Continent. Everywhere that he went he was received as an illustrious visitor and as a benefactor of mankind. At a breakfast in London which was intended to commemorate one of the greatest of the great triumphs of freedom, and to do honor to a most eminent instrument in the achievement of that freedom, and at which were gathered the genius, the wealth, and aristocracy of England and Scotland, John Bright, who presided, welcomed the illustrious guest with a cordiality which k
