ge. It will thus be seen at what a variety of points the Dial touched Old Cambridge. 2. the Atlantic Monthly I know of no book or essay in which the history of the Atlantic Monthly is carried far enough back. Even the best of these narratives, that of Mr. J. T. Trowbridge in the Atlantic Monthly for January, 1895, entitled The author of Quabbin, speaks as if the Atlantic Monthly had no existence, even prospectively, before 1857, whereas it was really planned as to all its details in 1853, four years sooner.

Lowell's letters are full of similar complaints, more impulsively made, and relieved by countless jokes against himself. The difference was that Longfellow's more even temperament made him more methodical and orderly, and also more chary of self-expression, so that although he might be as much bored with his work, his pupi
