Marse Henry (Volume 2) An Autobiography by Henry Watterson Chapter the Thirteenth Charles Eames and Charles Sumner-Schurzand Lamar-I Go to Congress-A Heroic Kentuckian-Stephen Foster and His Songs-Music and Theodore Thomas I Swift's definition of "conversation" did not preside over or direct the daily intercourse between Charles Sumner, Charles Eames and Robert J. Walker in the old days in the National Capital. They did not converse. They discoursed. They talked sententiously in portentous essays and learned dissertations. I used to think it great, though I nursed no little dislike of Sumner. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
