ns of his life there were exquisitely limned in his Pencillings by the way, published in the Mirror. He was attached to the American legation in Paris. He married in England; returned to the United States; settled on the Susquehanna; and during his four years residence there wrote his Letters from under a Bridge. In 1839 he and Dr. Porter established The corsair, in New York. He went again to England; wrote much while there; and prepared for Mr. Virtue the letter-press for two serial works, illustrated by Bartlett, on the scenery of Ireland and America. Returning in 1844, he and General Morris established the Evening mirror. His health soon gave way, and he again went abroad. He returned in 1846, after which until his death, in Idlewild, Cornwall, N. Y., Jan. 20, 1867, he was co-editor with Morris of the Home journal. His prose writings are more numerous by far than his poetry, yet he ranks among the distinguished American poets. Willis's sacred poetry is considered his best.
