tic power of Mrs. Kemble, it is easy to imagine the enthusiasm with which her reading of this poem was received by an audience of three thousand, and none the less because at that troubled time the concluding appeal to the Union had a distinct bearing on the conflicts of the time. For the rest of the volume, it included the strong and lyric verses called Seaweed, which were at the time criticised by many, though unreasonably, as rugged and boisterous; another poem of dramatic power, Sir Humphrey Gilbert; and one of the most delicately imaginative and musical among all he ever wrote, The Fire of Drift-Wood, the scene of which was the Devereux Farm at Marblehead. There were touching poems of the fireside, especially that entitled Resignation, written in 1848 after the death of his little daughter Fanny, and one called The Open Window. Looking back from this, his fourth volume of short poems, it must be owned that he had singularly succeeded in providing against any diminution of powe

My Lost Youth occurred to him in the night, after a day of pain, and was written the next morning; that on December 17, 1839, he read of shipwrecks reported in the papers and of bodies washed ashore near Gloucester, one lashed to a piece of the wreck, and that he wrote, There is a reef called Norman's Woe where many of these took place; among others the schooner Hesperus. Also the Sea-Flower on Black Rock. I must write a ballad upon this, also two others,— The Skeleton in Armor and Sir Humphrey Gilbert. A fortnight later he sat at twelve o'clock by his fire, smoking, when suddenly it came into his mind to write the Ballad of the Schooner Hesperus, which he says, I accordingly did. Then I went to bed, but could not sleep. New thoughts were running in my mind, and I got up to add them to the ballad. It was three by the clock. I then went to bed and fell asleep. I feel pleased with the ballad. It hardly cost me an effort. It did not come into my mind by lines, but by stanzas.

ons, charters, and instructions, which emanated from the monarch. The prudent forecast of Henry VII. had considered the advantages which might be derived from a colonial monopoly; and while ample privileges were bestowed on the adventurers who sailed for the New World, he stipulated that the exclusive staple of its commerce should be made in England.
