Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Olde Cambridge, Chapter 1: old Cambridge (search)
one should wish to see Thoreau's Journals published.

Griswold (August 7, 1842): A published eulogy of myself from Irving's pen could not change my opinion of his career .... Cuvier has the same faults as Irving, and so had Scott.
