I afterwards found to be the simple roof of the poetess, that he did not know the residence of the greatest ornament of his town! Another morning was devoted to Carlyle. Thomas Carlyle, 1795—.He had, prior to 1839, published besides miscellaneous papers the Sartor Resartus, and French Revolution. His Burns had been read with Thomas Carlyle, 1795—.He had, prior to 1839, published besides miscellaneous papers the Sartor Resartus, and French Revolution. His Burns had been read with great interest by Sumner when in College, ante, Vol. I., p. 50. The following was written to Sumner (the newspaper fragment referred to is Professor Andrews Norton's reply to George Ripley in a discussion concerning The Latest Form of Infidelity):— Chelsea, Feb. 14, 1839. my dear Sir,—Could you return this newspaper fragmen cold, and is not equal to any call beyond a few rods distant at present. We calculate on seeing you soon, and wish you always right well. Yours very truly, T. Carlyle. His manners and conversation are as unformed as his style; and yet, withal, equally full of genius. In conversation, he piles thought upon thought and imagin

, Basilissa; and their son, who was no favorite with him, Basilisk. Mrs. M. told me an interesting story connected with Carlyle, which somewhat explains the singular style of his French Revolution. This was written some time ago, with great labor,rgest sum, by way of repairing the calamity, which any bookseller could have offered. This, of course, was refused; and Carlyle was quite dejected for a while. At last he re-commenced it, but, Mrs. M. supposes, had not the patience to go through in Leigh Hunt 1784-1859. and Thomas Campbell. 1777-1844.

the most remarkable women I have ever known. Dr. Parr always called Mr. Montagu by his Christian name, Basil; and his wife, Basilissa; and their son, who was no favorite with him, Basilisk. Mrs. M. told me an interesting story connected with Carlyle, which somewhat explains the singular style of his French Revolution. This was written some time ago, with great labor, and put into the hands of a friend for perusal; while with him the greater part of it was accidentally destroyed. The friend at once offered the largest sum, by way of repairing the calamity, which any bookseller could have offered. This, of course, was refused; and Carlyle was quite dejected for a while. At last he re-commenced it, but, Mrs. M. supposes, had not the patience to go through it again in the same painstaking way as before; and in this way she accounts, to a certain extent, for the abrupt character which it has. I once spoke of Mr. Montagu to Talfourd as a person whom I liked very much, when the auth

Jan. 27, 1839. Among the persons whom I have seen since I wrote the foregoing pages have been Leigh Hunt 1784-1859. and Thomas Campbell. 1777-1844. I yesterday morning saw Leigh Hunt, on the introduction of Carlyle. He lives far from town,—in Chelsea,—in a humble house, with uncarpeted entry and stairs. He lives more simply, I think, than any person I have visited in England; but he possesses a palace of a mind. He is truly brilliant in conversation, and the little notes of his whhave seen are very striking. He is of about the middle size, with iron-gray hair parted in the middle, and suffered to grow quite long. Longfellow has seen him, I think, and he will tell you about him. I believe I have already described to you Carlyle. I met Campbell at a dinner which Colburn, Henry Colburn died in 1855. His residence was at 13 Great Marlborough Street. the publisher, gave me last evening. There were Campbell, Jerdan, William Jerdan, born 1782, for thirty-four years

, Aug. 11:— I have just returned from an excursion in the country with Felton, to see his wife. Saturday, in a gig, we went to Lancaster. En routeto Cambridge, dined with Ralph Emerson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, living at Concord. whom we found very agreeable and sensible. He did not lead out his winged griffins, to take us into the empyrean; so we went along as with mortal beasts. Perhaps he thought we should not be very docile. He had just received a very characteristic letter from Carlyle, over whom the fancy to come to America had again driven. He will not come. Emerson has two delightful children,—a girl and boy. The girl he calls his honeycomb. Come back staunch and strong and full of hope and courage. To Abraham Hayward, London. Boston, U. S. Of America, Aug. 31, 1840. dear Hayward,—This poor sheet and its pictures Wood-cuts of General W. H. Harrison, and of a log-cabin and cider barrels. will go by the Acadia, which sails to-morrow from this port for L<
