woman, an intensely human one, to the last, though made of no common clay. She was of an age to die, and I am glad that her fine intelligence was spared a season of dimness. Still, I have suffered a loss, and doubtless one that will last a lifetime. Sincerely yours, E. C. Stedman. The laborious volumes of literary selections having been completed, there followed, still under the same pressure, another series of books yet more ambitious. His Victorian poets (1875, thirteenth edition 1887) was followed by the Poets of America (1885), A Victorian Anthology (1895), and An American Anthology (1900). These books were what gave him his fame, the two former being original studies of literature, made in prose; and the two latter being collections of poetry from the two nations. If we consider how vast a labor was represented in all those volumes, it is interesting to revert to that comparison between Stedman and his friend Aldrich with which this paper began. Their literary lives

at it was written as a physiological caution addressed to this nervous race against overworking its children in school. In reality, it was a point of the greatest importance. If Americans are to be merely duplicate Englishmen, Nature might have said, the experiment is not so very interesting, but if they are to represent a new human type, the sooner we know it, the better. No one finally did more toward recognizing this new type than did Matthew Arnold himself, when he afterwards wrote, in 1887, Our countrymen [namely, the English], with a thousand good qualities, are really, perhaps, a good deal wanting in lucidity and flexibility ; and again in the same essay, The whole American nation may be called intelligent, that is to say, quick. Nineteenth Century, XXII, 324, 319. This would seem to yield the whole point between himself and the American writer whom he had criticised, and who happened to be the author of this present volume. One of the best indications of this very diff
