The tide set in with imitations of Pomfret, wyden, Gay, awful Pope, unequalled bard, and nature-limning Thomson. Though dwelling in a small American town, he sighs for slines fine enough to save it from oblivion. Imitations of Thomson's Seasons began to appear soon after the first American ededing the first work of Bryant. The form is still that of Thomson, but the poet has at last opened his eyes to the distinctind some Untaught Bard, writing under the influence of both Thomson and Young, in his Spring clearly foretells the coming of T birds and flowers in spite of his imitation of Milton and Thomson.

This battery was always on the front and engaged almost daily in action. January 16th, 1865, the battery was disbanded, owing to the scarcity of rations and forage. It was called to assemble in Lynchburg April 1st, 1865. The names of the sixteen who were on duty at time of the surrender, were Captain Tuck.

Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Chapter 1: Longfellow as a classic (search)
obtaining statistics bearing on the relative position of Longfellow among English-writing poets would be to inspect books of selections made in Great Britain out of this class. I find two such lying near at hand; the first is Pen and Pencil Pictures from the Poets, published by William P. Nimmo at Edinburgh, containing fifty-six poems in all, each with a full-page illustration, generally by Scottish artists. Of these selections, six are taken from Longfellow, five each from Wordsworth and Thomson, and three each from Shakespeare, Burns, and Moore. Of other American poets Bryant and Willis alone appear, each with one contribution. Another such book is Words from the Poets; selected for the use of parochial schools and libraries. To this the leading contributors are Wordsworth (twenty-one), Longfellow (eighteen), Cowper (eleven), and Tennyson (nine), the whole number of contributors being forty-three. Such statistics could be easily multiplied; indeed, it will be readily admitted
