to neutralize the effects of the French Revolution on American political thought. But the Review was less flamboyant and absurd in its patriotism than many of its contemporaries, and to this fact may have been due its success. As first established it was a bi-monthly and published poetry, fiction, and other miscellaneous contributions, but in 1818 it became a quarterly and restricted the nature of its contents. The list of early contributors includes the names of Edward T. Channing, Richard Henry Dana, Jared Sparks, Edward Everett, Alexander H. Everett, John Adams, William Cullen Bryant, Gulian C. Verplanck, George Ticknor, Daniel Webster, Nathaniel Bowditch, George Bancroft, Caleb Cushing, Lewis Cass, and many more of the Americans best known in literary and political life. Like most such enterprises it was financially unprofitable at first, and it was never highly remunerative; but its literary importance was soon recognized abroad as well as at home. Until the founding of The

could claim a remote relationship with the Dutch poet Vondel: And Vondel was a Wendell who spelt it with a V. Through his father, the Calvinist minister, and his grandfather, a physician who had served in the Revolution with the Continental troops, Holmes was descended from Anne, daughter of Thomas Dudley, governor of Massachusetts Bay, and wife of Simon Bradstreet, twice governor of the province. For Anne Bradstreet, see Book I, Chap. IX. The author of the Autocrat shared with R. H. Dana, author of Two years before the Mast, the honour of descent from this literary ancestress. Holmes was born in Cambridge, in an old gambrel-roofed house that had served as General Ward's headquarters at the outbreak of the Revolution: The plan for fortifying Bunker's Hill was laid, as commonly believed, in the southeast room, the floor of which was covered with dents, made, it is alleged, by the butts of the soldiers' muskets. Holmes's mother, it may be recorded here, to account in a meas

edgwick was less direct and simple, but her books are still extant. Their ample preaching never loses sight of the story; and as this is a good one, she headed the list of favourites in the annual report of the New York City library in 1847, with Dana's Two years before the Mast second. But as Miss Sedgwick herself preferred Hume and Shakespeare at the age of eight, it is not surprising that her children's stories have a somewhat adult tone. So do those of Mrs. Child, who was devouring Miltonontribute to it. Cooper's stories I See also Book II, Chap.

Richard H.

Even his triumphant career—his election to the Senate and his fame as an orator—did not soften this animosity. in 1853, driving down Beacon Street towards the country with R. H. Dana, Jr., as his companion, he said: There was a time when 1 was welcome at almost every house within two miles of us, but now hardly any are open to me. He was taken to the Wednesday Club, where good breeding prevailed with most; but even there he was snubbed by some of the members. A few there were who kept a higher level of thought and sentiment,—among them the Quincys, friends of his youth, who were faithful to him to the end. This social pressure fell more heavily on Sumner than on oth<

The Free Soil State convention met at Tremont Temple in Boston, September 6. Sumner was present at the preliminary te, and opened the way to the honors and responsibilities which awaited him.
