e boundaries of its practical influence, Transcendentalism was, so far as it knew, quite unbounded in the field of speculation; and the pages of the Dial, like the pages of the Pre-Raphaelite organ, the Germ, are of undying interest as they indicate certain important forces which were at work in their respective periods.

Upon this series of papers Holmes's fame may stand; they represent the fine flowering of his genius for intimate discourse, and include, besides, much of the best of his verse.
