Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Margaret Fuller Ossoli, Chapter 8: conversations in Boston. (search)
al exercise; she felt that she was, perhaps, doing some good; and the longing for affection, which was one of the strongest traits of her nature, was gratified by the warm allegiance of her pupils. She went back to Jamaica Plain, every now and then, to rest, and, while rejoicing in that respite, still felt that her field was action, and that she could not, like Mr. Emerson, withdraw from the world to a quiet rural home. She wrote thus, on one occasion, to the Rev. W. H. Channing:-- 10th December, 1840 Two days in Boston; how the time flies there and bears no perfume on its wings,--I am always most happy to return to my solitude, yet willing to bear the contact of society, with all its low views and rash blame, for I see how the purest ideal natures need it to temper them and keep them large and sure. I will never do as Waldo [Emerson] does, though I marvel not at him. Ms. (M. W. C.) The tone of this passage is saddened, no doubt, by some ungenerous criticisms upon herse

did. By the next packet, I hope to be able to address a letter to him on this subject. I am sorry, very sorry (and very much surprised, too), that Lib. 11.37, 42. bro. Collins should have applied to the London Committee for aid or approbation. It was an error of judgment, simply; but, Lib. 11.26; cf. Free American, 3.2. after what we, who sent him out, have said of that Committee, it looks upon the face of it like an imposition. Miss Pease did not so judge the application (Ms. Dec. 10, 1840, to Collins); and there can be little doubt that it was ultimately of great advantage to the cause. It at once forced the discussion of the merits of the American schism, and the shamefully partisan action of the London Committee determined many to side with the old organization who might else have remained either indifferent or deceived. See Collins's letter to E. Quincy, Mar. 2, 1841 (Ms.). The attempt of the Executive Committee of the Glasgow Emancipation Society, under the influenc

am his debtor for a long and most interesting letter, and that I shall write him very soon. You have a young American—Shaw—at Heidelberg. How does he do? Believe me ever, my dear friend, most truly and sincerely yours, Charles Sumner. P. S. Your article on criminal legislation in Germany was published in the October number of the American Jurist. It has been read with great satisfaction. When shall we have the continuation? To Dr. Francis Lieber, Columbia, S. C. Boston, Dec. 10, 1840. Don't, dear Lieber, be offended by my long silence. I am in the midst of my profession; for the last two days have been all the time in court; and for the last two months, besides attending to my professional business, printing the third volume of my Reports. . . . Behold me now, dear Lieber, in the tug and sweat of my profession, with rays of sunlight streaming from across the sea, and with the greater source of pleasure in my thoughts of what I have seen and enjoyed.
