Essays and addresses

On this, my second visit to Washington at a meeting of this Society, I feel myself to be here rather in a dual capacity.

One of these capacities I filled the other evening when I unloaded on a long-suffering audience "collections and recollections" concerning the arbitra- tions between the United States, on the one hand, and Great Britain (including Canada) on the other.

That was assisting, in some degree, I hope the objects for which this Society was organized and is being carried on.

The other and more pleasant function which I have to perform, I propose to perform in my weak way this evening.

That is, to bring to you the good wishes and greetings of your kindred Commonwealth to the north.
