Professor Spring is a graduate OF VIII
liams in tbs class OF 1863. native OF
Grafton. Vermont going TO college from
Manchester. He preached year in
Casileton aud Middlebury Professor
Spring is the author Of tho volume on
Kansas, 10 the Commonwealth Series.
This has attracted great deal OF atten.
tion and provoked criticism. But much
oi this has come from old time partisans, |
whose views have been quite at variance |
with those OF the an,hor. But the book |
has also won the Highest praise from
others quite as competent for an opinion,
among them gentleman OF high literary
and historical attachments who stood 10
the closest relations with Charles Sumner |
Many will regret his removal from |
Kansas. which is due TO imperative do
nestle reasons. il this should turn Pro-
fossor Spring from his studies in Kansas
history. Of which the little volume lately
published is among the first fruits. For
this graphic sketch. which tho author
has gwen us, evidently for this very pur.
pose. shows that there is great work to
be done by some one who was not a di-
rect participant In tho strifes at the time
and who has had access TO the material
hitherto out Of the reach OF every one
who has written on the subject up to this
time.
