Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Charles Sumner Centenary: Historical Address
His vast readings in the field of history. And literature contributed in like manner toward his splendid outfit. SO too his wide contact and association with the leading spirits of the times in Europe and America. All combined to teach him to know himself and the universal verities of man and society, to distinguish the invisible and enduring substance of life from its merely accidental and transient phases and phenomena.
