His entrance into that city shows the progress which he and his followers had made in the interval. Let us look at Carlyle's description of it: A procession of eight persons —one, a man on horseback riding single, the others, men and women partly riding double, partly on foot, in the His favor, to have been selected to stand upright and steadfast in His cause, dignified with the de. fence of Truth and public liberty.

al, boastful, or ignoble in its tone. It would be idle to say that this alone constitutes, for an American, the basis of fame; for the high imaginative powers of Poe, with his especial gift of melody, though absolutely without national flavor, have achieved for him European fame, at least in France, this being due, however, mainly to his prose rather than to his poetry, and perhaps also the result, more largely than we recognize, of the assiduous discipleship of a single Frenchman, just as Carlyle's influence in America was due largely to Emerson. Be this as it may, it is certain that the hold of both Longfellow and Whittier is a thing absolutely due, first, to the elevated tone of their works, and secondly, that they have made themselves the poets of the people. No one can attend popular meetings in England without being struck with the readiness with which quotations from these two poets are heard from the lips of speakers, and this, while not affording the highest test of poetic

The spirit of liberty and independence in thought and action,—the natural outgrowth or development of the fundamental idea of Puritanism, to see God's own Law made good in this world;...that God's Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven; Carlyle.—this spirit, that was properly the beginning of America, that led the Pilgrims to determine on settling in the black, untamed forests and amid the wild savage creatures of the New World, that founded the early churches in the Colonies, manifestquestioned, as Bond well says, from their much debate, the well-known character of the men, and the proceedings at the next Court held less than three months later. These men, thus independent, may well be considered good specimens of what Thomas Carlyle has said the Seventeenth-Century Puritans were:—Men who had thought about this world very seriously indeed, and with very considerable thinking faculty indeed, and who were not quite so far behindhand in their conclusions respecting it.

Carlyle on America. Thomas Carlyle, in his quaint, characteristic style, says of the American war that it is "the dirtiest chimney which has been on fire this century and should be permitted toomposed. We are therefore disposed to regard with composure the hyena-like grin with which Carlyle regards the horrible sufferings of humanity upon this continent. But whilst applauding the honn nature in general, and British human nature in particular. The North was settled mainly by Mr. Carlyle's countrymen, the Puritans, of whose valor and virtues he has been an ardent enologist, and tthat moment, when it seemed in the best condition, it began to become foul, for reasons which Mr. Carlyle ought to understand as well as any man.
