nd like what we knew you. Americans visiting Europe found that he was well remembered by his English friends. Dr. Francis Wayland wrote, Feb. 8, 1841: Both Kenyon and Ingham Ingham wrote to Sumner: The last [Dr. Wayland] I greatly admire. IDr. Wayland] I greatly admire. In all I saw of him when he was here, and in all I have read of his, there is an earnest, manly energy and truthfulness which win my confidence. He sees into his subject as a man whose eye is single. have made repeated inquiries after you, as well acountryman of mine, and now write to speak to you of him more particularly than I did in my letter. It is Mr. President Wayland, the head of a seminary of learning at Providence, in Rhode Island, called Brown University,—a man of strong native poweope of contributing to the improvement of ours. He will probably pass a week or more in Cambridge. I have asked President Wayland to take charge of a small parcel for you containing two numbers of a journal called the Dial, A magazine, the o

is doing a great deal of good. I have, in various ways, read it many times; and I may say, most sincerely, that it seems better each time. It is comprehensive, clear, earnest, and convincing. I was in Providence yesterday, where I saw President Wayland. He wished me to say to you that he had read both parts with great pleasure, and that he agreed with you entirely. His views on Slavery, and with regard to the South, have materially changed lately. I sent a copy of the first part (anduscript, and asked my advice with regard to their publication, and my criticism. In him there was less pride of authorship than in any person I have ever known. When he had once written his thoughts, he dismissed them from his mind. Rev. Dr. Francis Wayland wrote to Sumner, Jan. 7, 1843: The last time we met we were conversing about Dr. Channing. How little did we dream that he was so near his end! I most sincerely grieve for this loss to the world, to his country, and his family. Alas!

In the promotion of popular education he took an active interest. He seconded Horace Mann's labors in this cause, Ante, Vol. II. pp. 196, 316. See letter of Mr. Mann tohe Boston Prison Discipline Society was held at Park-Street Church on the morning of May 27, with its President, Rev. Dr. Francis Wayland, in the chair. The society's annual report offered by the Secretary, Louis Dwight, in treating of the rival syscation, and with power to visit Philadelphia and ascertain the character of the system which Mr. Dwight had assailed. Dr. Wayland warmly commended his remarks at the time, and on the evening of the same day wrote him a letter of thanks, which Sumne

ention. Sermons on peace had been often heard from pulpits; peace societies were conspicuous in the calendar of Anniversary Week; treatises on moral philosophy stated strongly the ethical and religious argument against war of any kind; Dr. Francis Wayland's Moral Science, of whose teachings on war Sumner was not aware when he was writing his oration, went quite as far as the oration in denying the rightfulness of all war, without provoking excitement; and it was the text-book of moral philoive. But surely we are justified in strengthening our coasts when we are within an hour's steaming of the French, who are actually wild for a descent on England, after Thiers's romance of the camp at Boulogne, in his last volume. I know that Dr. Wayland holds it better to submit to invasion than to incur the guilt of war. But guilt rests in the motive; and if the motive is protection, not annoyance, does it contravene the precepts of the Gospel? . . . The last report I had of your doings was
