icular, in this connection, an autobiographical memorandum sent to Griswold in 1841 (Works of Poe, ed. Harrison, Vol. I, pp. 344-346), in whinality the most divergent views have been expressed. According to Griswold, whom he chose as his literary executor, Poe was a naturally unamiular, eccentric, and querulous, but adds—as if in set rejoinder to Griswold's charge that he was incapable of gratitude for service done—that ecome more and more evident that the view of his character held by Griswold and those who sided with him was unduly harsh, It is due to GriGriswold, however, to say that his account of Poe's life, though inaccurate at many points and jaundiced throughout, is more to be relied on than is now commonly assumed. For exposing most of Griswold's inaccuracies we are indebted to Poe's English biographer, the late John H. Ingram. stained by time. And despite the arrogance charged against him by Griswold and others, it is to be set down to his credit that he ungrudgingl

Whittier, Horace Greeley, and Jrson, and Burton's gentleman's magazine, a monthly now remembered chiefly because Poe was for a time associate editor. Poe retained for something over a year a similar position on the new Graham's magazine, and among his successors was the Rev. Rufus W. Griswold. The magazine achieved great popularity, and is said for a time to have brought its owner large financial returns. According to a somewhat dubious tradition its decline began when Graham published a harshly unfavourable review of Uncl

ollection as late as 1891, one may trace every phase of the American short story in half a century. Her early Atlantic narratives lean decidedly in the direction of the Young ladies' repository type of fiction, sentimental, leisurely, moralizing, and yet even in the poorest of them there is a sense of actuality that was new in American short fiction. They were not romances; they were homely fragments of New England rural life. The heroine may be introduced in this unromantic fashion: Mrs. Griswold was paring apples and Lizzie straining squash. Here for the first time we may find dialect that rings true, and, moreover, here for the first time are sprightliness and rollicking humour, varied at times with tragedy and true pathos. As one traces her work from Atlantic to Atlantic, a gradual increase in power impresses one until after her declaration of independence at the opening of Miss Lucinda (August, 1861）—I offer you no tragedy in high life, no sentimental history of fashion and
