Discusses advertisements in The Nation, a liberal periodical devoted to politics and culture of which he was editor from 1865-1906. Recalls an excursion he took with his father, William Lloyd Garrison toward the end of his life. Talks of his fear of giving speeches "Like my father, to his latest day, when called upon to speak I always feel like fumbling for a manuscript. An habitual writer allows his tongue to become atrophied for want of use..." States that despite this, he will consider an invitation to speak.
