Pope's grove. I paid no attention and went on quietly with my writing. Later, I dressed and went down to the library, where Dr. Cromwell was waiting for me, and asked me to go with him to call on Annie Pope. We found the streets deserted; not a soldier, not a straggler did we see. The silence of death reigned where a few hours ago all was stir and bustle-and it is the death of our liberty. After the excitement of the last few days, the stillness was painful, oppressive. I thought of Chateaubriand's famous passage: Lorsque dans le silence de l'abjection &c. News of the odious arrival seems to have spread like a secret pestilence through the country, and travelers avoid the tainted spot. I suppose the returning soldiers flank us, for I have seen none on the streets to-day, and none have called at our house. The troops that are here came from Athens. There are about sixty-five white men, and fifteen negroes, under the command of a Major Wilcox. They say that they come for peace

Blagrave caused his teeth to be all drawne out, and after had a set of ivory in agayne. In Ben Jonson's Silent woman, published in 1607, one of the characters says: A most vile face and yet she spends me forty pounds a year in mercury and hog's bones. All her teeth were made in the Blackfriars Ivory was for many years the favorite material for artificial teeth, that from the hippopotamus being preferred. The teeth of the narwhal, as being somewhat harder, were also used. Volney, Chateaubriand, the elder Pitt, and George Washington also used artificial dentures thus made. See denture. About 1765 Pierre Lavouse, a workman in the royal porcelain works at Sevres, France, made rude imitation teeth of porcelain, but the art was not practiced to any considerable extent until about forty years ago, when it began to be utilized in the United States, where it has now developed into a manufacture of no inconsiderable importance. The principal materials employed are feldspar, sil

l remains, the finest residence in Cambridge,--formerly the Headquarters of Washington, and afterwards of the Muses. Good architecture never becomes antiquated, and the Craigie House is not only spacious within, but dignified without. One could best realize Longfellow's opulence by walking through his library adjacent to the eastern piazza, and gazing at the magnificent editions of foreign authors which had been presented to him by his friends and admirers; especially the fine set of Chateaubriand's works, in all respects worthy of a royal collection. There is no ornament in a house that testifies to the quality of the owner like a handsome library. Byron would seem to have been the only other poet that has enjoyed such prosperity, although Bryant, as editor of a popular newspaper, may have approached it closely; but a city house, with windows on only two sides, is not like a handsome suburban residence. Longfellow could look across the Cambridge marshes and see the sunsets

n rivers, and to observe the products and actual state of the adjacent country. Among transients from the Continent were Chastellux, the friend of Washington, Chateaubriand, with his youthful plan of helping Washington to discover the Northwest Passage, the Duc de la Rochefoucauld, a fair observer, and De Tocqueville, who wrote hiof John Jacob Astor, and reappeared in Irving's Astoria. Carver's volume still fastens upon the imagination, as it did in the time of Schiller, Wordsworth, and Chateaubriand. Coleridge, who found pleasure in Carver's descriptions, doubtless set a higher value upon Bartram; he says in Table talk: The latest book of travels I knowof the Nadowessiers Todtenlied, a poem greatly admired by Goethe. Still better known is the employment of what is striking and exotic in Carver and Bartram by Chateaubriand in the composite landscape of Rene and Atala, and his mingling of conventional with imaginary incidents in the Voyage en Amerique.

t were a small schoolboy instead of a Harvard graduate of seven years standing. At the same time he ploughed through a long course of English literature. Ascham, Bacon, Browne, Raleigh, and Milton, besides the sermons of eminent divines, were read to him in chronological series, while he used his own sight for an hour of Latin daily. At the end of the year he felt he had broken ground only. A temporary improvement in his eye enabled him to plunge into French authors from Froissart to Chateaubriand, still devoting a part of each day to hearing English drama from Heywood to Dryden. With his friend Ticknor, Prescott kept up a third line of English reading, connected with Scandinavian and Teutonic themes and compositions. In 1823, Sismondi's Litterature du Midi prepared him for Italian letters, which he proceeded to explore systematically and intelligently. Two articles in The North American review contained his impressions on this field; they were written con amore, as the change

he poet Lenau's unfortunate experiences in America.

There are numerous mystical digressions in La Nouvelle Atala; Nature, as the guardian of Atala, is handled with all the superstitious reverence of Chateaubriand himself, and often with genuine eloquence.
