He always, to the end of his life, regarded the years he passed in Europe as being in some degree sacrificed; and though the sacrifice was made each time for a worthy purpose and met a rich reward, yet the reward never fully outweighed to him the warm satisfaction of life in his native country, in the home that was the centre of his wishes and affections. The proportionate value which he thus gave, in his own mind, to the different points of his experi ence, should not be wholly disregarded her...e ; but the temptation is irresistible to fill many pages with the European journal, though only a very small part of the whole will appear. * A prosperous voyage of twenty-five days from New York to Liverpool not a long passage for those days of sailing-ves sels had an exciting conclusion, which Mr. Ticknor thus describes : At the moment when, with a gentle breeze, we felt as if we should reach our port in a few hours, when, in fact, I was sitting quietly in the cabin, writing a letter to announce our arrival, the wind came out suddenly ahead, and almost at once blew a gale.
