, and set up savings-banks. We want to stop emigration, and we shall do so, not by limiting the right of free movement, but by a whole system of measures for raising the condition of our labouring classes. Under such a system Germany is not likely to send out many more millions to America. Next take the Land. If we can trust the facts and figures in General Hazen's Reports, the supply of land is no more inexhaustible than the supply of settlers. Old and venerable fictions, such as Irving painted and Bryant sang, are swept away by engineers and surveyors. When Louisiana was purchased from France, the district then acquired by the Republic was described as practically boundless. No one knew how far it ran out west, hardly how far it ran up north; yet every acre of that region is now owned, and under such cultivation as suits a poor and swampy soil. So, when Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas were incorporated. No one had drawn a line about Kansas and Nebraska. These re

s personality so well concealed that there are those who doubt to this day whether he wrote the plays which bear his name, and no one has yet conjectured why he left only his second-best bedstead to his wife. Charles Lamb, when asked for personal details, could remember nothing notable in his own career except that he once caught a flying swallow in his hand. Campbell, the poet, was so shy that on receiving a compliment he would withdraw within his shell and say no more; he was afraid, as Irving finely said, of the shadow which his own fame cast before him. It would be easy to make up a long list of authors of eminence who have deprecated instead of encouraging all personal information, and who would have been eminently unfitted to live in an age or land of interviewers. It is not apparent that there is any distinction of sex in this matter. The writer has seen a letter to a friend by an authoress not unknown to fame, or at least popularity, in which she points out that renown i

e [including Park Benjamin, Henry J. Raymond, in a letter to R. W. Griswold, from Burlington, Vt., October 31, 1839, said: I am sorry Benjamin has left the New Yorker. If he had exerted himself but a little he could have made that infinitely the best weekly in the United States. Who will Greeley associate with him? I hope (but do not expect) that he will get one to fill B.'s place. The Sentinel here a few weeks since undertook to use up Benjamin instanter on account of his critique of Irving. I gave it a decent rap for it in the Free Press, and since that they have let B. alone and gone to pommeling me. C. H. Hoffman, and R. W. Griswold]; at others the entire conduct has rested with him. A glance at the file of this journal will show what a capacity for work its editor had. Greeley's idea of what a man should do in the way of newspaper work in those days was thus set forth in a letter to B. F. Randolph, dated May 2, 1836: I want the whole concern, printing-office included,

mechanics, whom it was common to hear praised as a rather picked class, and whose children and grandchildren are now themselves professors in the college or leading professional men. Lowell has testified to the magnificent manners of old Royal Morse, the Cambridge auctioneer, who proportioned each wave of his hat to the recognized social—that is academical—position of the person saluted. It seems to me that there must have been something English about it all, for I remember that in reading Irving's Sketch Book and Bracebridge Hall, as a boy, I found nothing essentially unlike types known to me at home. Especially easy was it to identify his village monarch, Ready Money Jack, with the broad shoulders and yeomanlike bearing of old Emery Willard, reputed the strongest man in the village, who kept the wood-yard just across Brighton Bridge. In my memoirs of Margaret Fuller Ossoli I have attempted to sketch the cultivated women who lived in Cambridge and were a controlling power. Mrs.

ry for the purposes of fictitious writing. Miss Francis read this article, at her brother's house, one summer Sunday noon. Before attending the afternoon service, she wrote the first chapter of a novel. It was soon finished, and was published that year,--a thin volume of two hundred pages, without her name, under the title of Hobomok ; a tale of early times. By an American. In judging of this little book, it is to be remembered that it appeared in the very dawn of American literature. Irving had printed only his Sketch book and Bracebridge Hall; Cooper only Precaution, The Spy, The pioneers, and The Pilot; Miss Sedgwick only The New England tale, and possibly Redwood. This new production was the hasty work of a young woman of twenty-two, inspired by these few examples. When one thinks how little an American author finds in the influences around him, even now, to chasten his style or keep him up to any high literary standard, it is plain how very little she could then have foun

racts, treatises, and essays, she turned up a dissertation or commentary an Solomon's Song, which she read with avidity, because it told about the same sort of things she had read of in the Arabian nights. She was again rewarded for her several hours' toil in what she calls a weltering ocean of pamphlets, by bringing to light a fragment of Don Quixote, which seemed to her like an enchanted island rising out of an ocean of mud ! This was the time when the names of Scott, Byron, Moore, and Irving were comparatively new, and yet not so new as not to be in the mouths of all intelligent people. The Salmagundi papers were recent publications. Byron had not quite finished his course. Scott had written his best poems, and the Lay of the last Minstrel, and Marmion, were familiar to people of intelligence, the world over; but the Tales of my landlord, and Ivanhoe, had just made their appearance. Now the novel, in those days, was regarded, by all pious people at least, as an unclean thing
