ell say, as the Duke of Wellington did when the Honorable Mrs. Norton, the poet, wished to be presented to him, that he had been very much exposed to authors. Nothing is more striking in history than the rapid concentration of fame upon a few leaders and the way in which all who represent the second class in leadership fall into oblivion. Thus it is in public affairs. In the great liberal movement in England men remember only Cobden and Bright, and in the American anti-slavery movement, Garrison and Phillips, and forget all of that large class whom we may call the non-commissioned officers, whose self-devotion was quite as great. It is yet more strikingly true in literature. Walter Savage Landor states it as his aspiration to have a seat, however humble, upon the small bench that holds the really original authors of the world. It is a large demand on fate. The name of E. P. Whipple, for instance, or of Dr. J. G. Holland, or of R. H. Dana, scarcely appeals even to the memory of

s free (1872) ; Specimen days, and collect (1883); November Boughs (1888) ; Sands at seventy (1888) ; and a collective edition entitled Complete poems and prose (1889). Died Mar. 26, 1892. Whittier, John Greenleaf Born in Haverhill, Mass., Dec. 17, 1807. The Quaker poet had slender means, and by shoe-making and a term of school teaching earned money to attend the Haverhill Academy for two terms. At the age nineteen he had contributed verse anonymously to the Free press, edited by W. L. Garrison, who encouraged the poet and became his life-long friend. Later, Whittier edited the American Manufacturer, the Haverhill Gazette, and the Hartford, Conn., New England weekly Review, also contributing to John Neal's magazine, The Yankee, and afterward editing the Pennsylvania Freeman. He at first contributed most of his literary work to the National era of Washington, D. C., an important anti-slavery paper, but after the establishment of the Atlantic monthly he wrote mainly for that.
