We drove through the parks, sailed up and down the Thames, and then visited every shire but four in England, in all of which we had large meetings, Mr.Birney and Mr.
Stanton being the chief speakers.

As we were generally invited to stay with Friends, it gave us a good opportunity to see the leading families, such as the Ashursts, the Alexanders, the Priestmans, the Braithwaites, and Buxtons, the Gurneys, the Peases, the Wighams of Edinburgh, and the Webbs of Dublin.

We spent a few days with John Joseph Gurney at his beautiful home in Norwich.

He had just returned from America, having made a tour through the South.

When asked how he liked America, he said, "I like everything but your pie crust and your slavery." Before leaving London, the whole American delegation, about forty in number, were invited to dine with Samuel Gurney.
