expressed. According to Griswold, whom he chose as his literary executor, Poe was a naturally unamiable character, arrogant, irascible, envious, without moral susceptibility or sense of gratitude, and exhibiting scarcely any virtue in either his life or his writings. According to the Richmond editor, John M. Daniel, who saw him frequently during the summer of 1849, he was sour of nature, capricious, selfish, a misanthrope, possessing little moral sense. In the view of Lowell's friend, C. F. Briggs, with whom he was associated for several months in 1845 as co-editor of the Broadway journal, he was badly made up, a characterless character, and utterly deficient of high motive. And Horace Greeley was disturbed lest Mrs. Whitman should marry him, giving it as his opinion that such a union would be a terrible conjunction. To N. P. Willis, on the other hand, who perhaps knew him better than any other outside of his immediate family during his last half-dozen years, there appeared, duri

The importance of The Knickerbocker magazine may be judged by this list of names; yet in dignity of tone and especially in the quality of its humour it was somewhat below the standard of several of its successors. New York, like Boston, saw many ambitious attempts

it is the mere text for sentiment and moral. Some union of art and morality, of Keats and Carlyle, Poe and Emerson—that was the poet's endeavour. He wrote to Briggs in 1846: Then I feel how great is the office of Poet, could I but even dare to hope to fill it. Then it seems as if my heart would break in pouring out one gngelize the world. It was perhaps this spirit of reform which Lowell had sought to express in his Prometheus and which he had in mind when in another letter to Briggs he declares I am the first who has endeavoured to express the American Idea, and I shall be popular by and by. Ibid. Popularity came first, however, when fervouunfal. There it is the holy zeal which attacks slavery issuing in this fable of a beautiful charity. Scudder. Life. Vol. L p. 268. In 1850 Lowell wrote to Briggs: I begin to feel that I must enter a new year of apprenticeship. My poems have thus far had a regular and natural sequence. First, Love and the mere happine
