Lee & Shepard, Boston, announce tho
publication Of the Complete Works of
Charles Sumner, in ten elegant Crown vo.
volumes, with portrait, notes, and index.
This will be timely and most valuable
publication. For the last eighteen years
Mr.. Sumner has been a strong and shining
political light to our nation. Though OPP
posed, attacked and struc< down in the
Senate chamber, though sneered at and
meanly assaied by tongue and pen, he has
stood firm, manfully and fearlessly advo-
eating justice, liberty, and the rights Of
man, and now without blot or stain on his
I character, lie has the proud satisfaction of
| knowing that the cause which he has so
long, so faithfully and ably advocated, is at
last triumphant. Since his Fourth of July
oration at Boston, entitled 'rhe true Grand
cur Of Nations" was delivered which first
attracted our attention to Mr.. Sumner, we
have carefully watched his career, read his
orations, speeches and addresses with un-
mingled satisfaction, been delighted with
his oloqucncc, inspired by his noble and
| lofty views and aims, and strengthened by
| his earnest advocacy of those great moral
| precepts and principles which have their
| foundation in Christianity, and we heartily
| rejoice in the announcement Of the publ
! cation of his Works and Life.
