reference to these verses, Then you did write that beautiful thing. Going to the Craigie house one day he saw Mrs. H. W. Longfellow, who said more things about the Madonna, and looked things unutterable out of her unfathomable eyes; and when Mr. Longfellow included the poem in his volume called The Estray, the youth's cup was full. In Brookline, the young man had plenty of leisure for his favorite pursuits, for he wrote:— I have taken up reading very strong,—am much interested in Carlyle's Miscellanies and have quite a fancy for German—have begun to dabble a little in the study of it—next winter I shall go into languages wholesale. And in one evening he perpetrated four sonnets to Longfellow, Motherwell, Tennyson, and Sterling,— good—the best things perhaps I've written. From Ellery Channing he gleaned some items about the profits of literature:— Ellery has just been telling me about Hawthorne whom he thinks the only man in the country who supports himself by

o hear me on Irish wrongs at Town Hall. In May, 1886, Emily Dickinson died. Her acquaintance with Colonel Higginson began in 1862, when she wrote to him enclosing some poems and asking his opinion of her verse. While he was in camp in South Carolina she wrote again to ask if he would be her preceptor. Henceforth her letters, in extraordinary script, were signed your scholar. One summer he made his unseen correspondent a long-delayed visit which he has described in the volume called Carlyle's Laugh. He wrote in his diary after her death:— To Amherst to the funeral of that rare and strange creature Emily Dickinson. .. . E. D.'s face a wondrous restoration of youth—she is 54 and looked 30, not a gray hair or wrinkle, and perfect peace on the beautiful brow. There was a little bunch of violets at the neck and one pink cypripedium; the sister, Vinnie, put in two heliotropes by her hand to take to Judge Lord [an old family friend]. I read a poem by Emily Bronte. How large

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. I am so glad to have seen him— he was charming. Not long after, he dined with Darwin at his home, which he described in his letters as enlawned.

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
