respondent of a New York paper gave exaggerated accounts of these rambles and declared that Colonel Higginson was protected by his rashness. In his book called Carlyle's Laugh the American author has described a memorable walk which he took in Hyde Park with Froude and Carlyle. I wished, he wrote home, we could all be photograpCarlyle. I wished, he wrote home, we could all be photographed . . . . We three were nearly run over in crossing the tide [Rotten Row] and dear old Carlyle had to run for life.

Not long after, he dined with Darwin at his home, which he described in his letters as enlawned. Soon enter the philosopher, taller than I, erect, white-bearded, like a kindlier Bryant, looking like his photograph, but more human and sweet—he was most genial, slight as was my claim on him ... he seemed even a greater man than I had thought him. The daily record goes on:— Heard Tyndall at Royal Institute and saw him afterwards—delightful man—asked me to dine with him. . . .

seemed like beginning a new career and my voice served me well. Of the third course, in 1905, he wrote:— Feb. 28. First Lowell lecture (Wordsworth-shire). A great success—an unexpectedly fine voice. March 7. Second Lowell lecture. Carlyle, Ruskin, Froude, Hunt. March 28. Fifth Lowell lecture. Dickens, Thackeray and reading Tennyson's poems. April 4. Last Lowell lecture. Considered very successful and was pronounced by John Lowell the best he ever heard in that hall.d also the wonderful and quite unique creation . . . of Miss Grandison. In 1908 and 1909, short newspaper and magazine articles kept him busy, and he began a record of the Higginson family. In the latter year the collection of papers called Carlyle's Laugh was published. Perhaps, he wrote, my last book, when nearly eighty-six. In 1910, he finished the editorship of the Higginson Genealogy, revised his Young Folks' History, and noted, May 13, Work almost at an end, perhaps for life. Sti

y a year. It was during this visit that he made the acquaintance of Landor and Wordsworth, as described in English traits. He also went to Craigenputtock to see Carlyle, who long afterwards, talking with Longfellow, described his visit as being like the visit of an angel. This was the beginning of that lifelong friendship the terms of which are recorded in their published correspondence. The dear Emerson, said Carlyle to an American forty years later, he thinks that the whole world is as good as himself. After his return to Boston, Emerson entered that secular pulpit called in those days the Lyceum, or lecture platform. For half a century he was one ott, on the other. Of one number she was forced to write eighty-five out of its hundred and thirty-six pages herself, and after two years had to resign the task. Carlyle, who always criticised the American Transcendentalists severely, excepted only her, besides Emerson, among its writers. He called her writings the undeniable utt

The American verdict. It is interesting to note in this connection that in estimating contemporary English writers during the nineteenth century, America was more just than England. The successive leaders of English literature, such as Lamb, Carlyle, Tennyson and Browning, were apt to be recognized first in America. Shelley tells us how utterly ignored Charles Lamb was in his prime by the English public, and Willis tells us that it was not so in America. He says in his Letters from under him who uses them, and that wreck would have long since passed from memory had there not been a Robinson Crusoe. The brilliant and somewhat worldly Bishop Wilberforce was once pointed out to me, riding in the Park at London, as I walked with Carlyle and Froude thirty years ago; and it was perhaps they who told me a story which the Bishop loved to tell of himself, as to the rebuke he once received from a curate whom he had reproved. The curate was given to fox-hunting, and when the bishop o

rd, Emerson had become a power in the spiritual life of America. His brief career as a Unitarian minister was already far behind him; he had made his pilgrimage to Europe; he had penetrated the wilds of Scotland to Craigenputtock because one Thomas Carlyle, another unrecognized genius, lived there. He had given in Boston those lectures on Great men and The philosophy of history which foreshadow the great address commonly called the declaration of independence for American literature. See Bok II, Chap. IX. He had brought out his Scottish friend's odd book, Sartor Resartus, a publication which accelerated the Transcendental movement. Emerson discovered the youth Thoreau as a true poet, and communicated the discovery in a letter to Carlyle. Thoreau became a member of Emerson's household, apparently as general help, a relationship which all Americans will understand but which will be the despair of Europeans The most practical and handy person in all matters of every day life,

e least of these, The magazine of useful and entertaining knowledge, has been preserved by the fact that Hawthorne was for a time the editor. Littell's living age, the best of the reprints from foreign journals, was begun in 1844. The most picturesque of the Boston periodicals of the time was The Dial, published quarterly by a group of New England Transcendentalists from 1840 to 1844. Such an organ of the new thought had long been talked of, and as early as 1835 Emerson had proposed to Carlyle that the latter come to America and act as editor. It was not until July, 1840, however, that the first number of The Dial appeared, with Margaret Fuller as editor, and Emerson, Alcott, and Thoreau among the contributors. The magazine was never financially successful, the smallness of its subscription list being indicated by the rarity of complete sets today. Margaret Fuller, after serving gratuitously for two years, reluctantly resigned the editorship, and Emerson as reluctantly took i
