Omt last, in a double sense. For here finally theae wide 
noioinga of ours through bo man; timea &nd places, in search 
and study of Heroes, are to termiiiatQ. I am sorry for it : 
there was pleasure for me in this business, if also much pain. 
It is a great subject, and a most grave and wide one, tbia 
which, not to be too grave about it, I have named Hero' 
ifforship. It enters deeply, as I think, into the secret of Man- 
kind's ways and vitaleat interests in this world, and is well 
worth explaining at present- With six months, instead of six 
days, we might have done better. I promised to break ground 
(m it I I know not whether I have even manned to do that 
I have had to tear it up in the rudest manner in order to get 
into it at all. Often enough, with these abrupt ntteranoea 
thrown out isolated, unexplained, has yonr tolerance been put to 
the trial. Tolerance, patient candor, all-hoping favor and kind- 
ness, which I will not speak of at present. The accomplished 
and distinguished, the beautiful, the wise, something of what 
is best in England, have listened patiently to my rude words. 
With many feelings, I heartily thank you all -, and aay, Good 
be with you all i
