Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Henry Walcott Boynton, Reader's History of American Literature, Preface. (search)
ration of a younger associate, to whom has fallen the task of modifying and supplementing the original text, so far as either process was necessary in order to make a complete and consecutive, though still brief, narrative of the course of American use as a text-book has been supplied in an appendix, and is believed to be adequate. It should be said further that the personal reminiscences, and, in general, all passages in which the first person singular is employed, are taken over bodily from the original lectures. Elsewhere the authorship of the book as it stands is a composite, but, it is hoped, not confused affair. Acknowledgments are due to Messrs. Longmans (of London and New York), who have permitted the use of some passages from Short studies of American authors, and to Messrs. Harper and Brothers, who consented to similar extracts from a work published by them, entitled Book and heart (New York and London, 1899), both these books being by the senior author of this work.

ad-Bush which even Whittier called the Aronia-- When the Aronia by the river Lighted up the swarming shad. Professor Woodberry finely says of the Puritans, Their very hymns had lost the sense of poetic form. They had in truth forgotten poetry; the perception of it as a noble and exquisite form of language had gone from them, nor did it come back until Bryant recaptured for the first time its grander lines at the same time that he gave landscape to the virgin horizons of the country. Harper's magazine, July, 1902. He alone, of all the poets, reached far enough into the zenith to touch the annual wonder of migrating wild fowl — what the fine old Transcendentalist, Daniel Ricketson, well calls the sublime chant of wild geese --and to bring it into human song. His merely boyish poems sent by his kindred for publication,--the Thanatopsis in particular, written at seventeen,--have perhaps never been equaled in literature by any boy of that age; his blank verse was beyond that of a

Pre-Raphaelite organ, the Germ, are of undying interest as they indicate certain important forces which were at work in their respective periods. The Atlantic monthly. Scholarship and philosophy, however, can make contributions to pure literature only by inadvertence. The establishment of the Atlantic monthly in 1857 marks the attainment of a distinct standard of pure literature among the descendants of the Puritans. The Knickerbocker magazine was breathing its last in New York, and Harper's magazine (1850) was as yet producing little literature of power. The Atlantic monthly, on the other hand, was able to depend at once upon an established constituency of writers. Lowell was its first editor, and his stipulation in accepting the position -that Holmes should be the first contributor engaged — suggests a range of choice upon which no American editor had hitherto been able to rely. In fiction and in verse it must be admitted that the early volumes of the Atlantic do not com

shore (1844). Died at Cooperstown, N. Y., Sept. 14, 1851. Curtis, George William Born in Providence, R. I., Feb. 24, 1824. He was in a New York mercantile house for a year, and at the age of eighteen joined the Brook Farm community, afterward going to Concord, Mass., where he worked on a farm and studied. After traveling abroad he came home, was placed on the editorial staff of the New York Tribune, and later became editor of Harper's weekly. In 1853 he began the series of essays in Harper's magazine known as The easy chair; three volumes of these Essays from the easy chair were collected and republished. Some of his publications are Nile notes of a Howadji (1851); The Howadji in Syria (1852) ; Lotus-eating (1852); Potiphar papers (1853); Prue and I (1856); and Trumps, a novel which appeared in Harper's weekly in 1862. He stood high as an orator, and was in great demand as a lecturer. Died at his home on Staten Island, Aug. 31, 1892. Dana, Richard Henry Born in Cambri
