Mary Thacher Higginson, Thomas Wentworth Higginson: the story of his life, XIII: Oldport Days (search)
ose days, though sooner or later I shall do it all . . . . It seemed like a dream to go to Worcester and see how three years had restored my young recruits to their old places in shops &c., and swept away all traces of those stirring days. Yet the Old Guard of those elderly gentlemen were still parading the streets, and that made all the real soldiering seem more a dream than ever. To keep up my interest in slavery, wrote Colonel Higginson to his old army surgeon,—I am translating Epictetus who is far superior to your dear Antoninus. Somewhat later another most congenial literary task was accomplished by the retired Colonel and he told Dr. Rogers:— I have undertaken a job—to edit the memorial volumes containing lives of those Harvard boys who have died in the war—it will take me a year almost. I write editorially for the Independent too, as well as the Commonwealth and Atlantic-so you see I have enough on hand. . . . I have been invited to be agent for New England

. I went to a reception at Mr. Martineau's (James) chiefly his students and parishioners. . . . It was rather stiffish and the person I liked best was a very pleasing young Professor, Knight of St. Andrew's (Scotland) who to my surprise had my Epictetus and knew all about it. To the interesting trial of Mrs. Besant's claim to her child—a case between a Christian husband (clergyman) and an atheist wife, to be tried before a Jewish magistrate on the Jewish Sabbath . . . . It was strange waitiseem to remember the war at all, he wrote. Never in my life have I been received so warmly and everywhere I have found my books well known, one private school even using my Young Folks History, and one schoolmaster in South Carolina holding my Epictetus to be next to the Bible. To find that certain Southern libraries had been sadly injured in the Civil War appealed to Colonel Higginson's sense of justice; and he interested his friends in replenishing the vacant shelves, contributing many bo

ow is it possible to reconcile her accounts of early book reading . . . with the yarns (O! irreverence) she told me about their first books, concealed from her father in the great bush at the door or under the piano cover? Well! what an encyclopaedia of strange gifts she was. During these years of fascinating though strenuous editorial labor, Colonel Higginson was also engaged on various pieces of original work. He wrote in July, 1890:— I am now to correct proof of three books– Epictetus, American Sonnets and Emily Dickinson's poems. And in November:— I was about writing the determination never again to have three books on hand at same time, going through the press, when I found myself entrapped into a promise to give the Centennial Oration of Massachusetts Historical Society, having also to prepare an address for 19th Century Club, and the life of Francis Higginson besides my regular work. Too much again. Yet one day when proofs of several different articles came <
