two vehicles came so close together as to brush off the rioters from one side. This relief enabled the horses to get a headway, and they went off at a gallop (Woman's Journal, Oct. 26, 1878, p. 340). To reach the jail by a direct course was found impracticable; and after going in a circuitous direction, At Bowdoin Square, the driver made as if going for Cambridge bridge, and this shook off a number of the pursuers ( Garrison Mob, p. 23). and encountering many hair-breadth 'scapes, Lowell Mason, Jr., was on Leverett Street, about half way down, when the carriage dashed past. The pursuit was even then so determined that the mob jumped upon the steps and were thrust away by the constable within. Boy that he was, young Mason was struck by the composure of Mr. Garrison's countenance. The mob, he remembers, was not a rough one, in the present sense of that term: it was composed of young men (merchants' clerks, as Mr. Ellis Ames describes them). Mr. Mason's observation should be

as, in all next month. What a hazardous project! This trip was abandoned by both parties. In August, Lundy began in Philadelphia a new weekly, the National Enquirer, and resumed the monthly publication of his Genius ( Life, p. 289; Lib. 6.131). But to return to the meeting: as we are disappointed in getting a meeting-house or hall in which to hold the N. E. Convention, except our own little hall at 46, we discussed the expediency of having the Convention held either in Providence or Lowell. Mr. Kimball proposed that we should hire a vacant lot of ground in this city, and erect upon it a large shanty, capable of holding two or three thousand people—saying that he would give $25 towards it. It was generally thought, however, that, if erected, it would be torn down before we could occupy it, and would be likely to excite a mob without doing us any benefit, as the market is now getting to be somewhat glutted with deeds of violence. For several good reasons, we have concluded, if

of his visit to Brooklyn with a great deal Rev. S. J. May. of pleasure. He will be at the Sabbath Convention. . . . No adequate report of the Convention was ever made. It met at the Chardon-Street Chapel on November 17, Lib. 10.190. 1840, and sat for three days, without arriving at any conclusion or adopting any resolutions. The roll of members embraced, besides the persons already enumerated, Francis Jackson, Henry G. Chapman, Samuel Philbrick, William Adams, Andrew Robeson, James Russell Lowell, George Ripley, C. P. Cranch, and not a few ladies. Among the interested but passive spectators Lib. 10.194. Weiss's Life of Parker, 1.158. were Dr. Channing, who, as Theodore Parker reports, doubted the propriety of the Convention, since it looks like seeking agitation, and [he] fears the opinion of Garrison, Quincy, and Maria W. Chapman; and R. W. Emerson, who has left the best—indeed, an ideal— summary view of the Convention in its three stages. Emerson's Lectures and Biographi

in his familiar essays. The optimist (1850) was nearly akin to the miscellaneous reflections sometimes imbedded in his early books of travel. It was followed by The criterion, more appropriately known in England as The collector, in 1866. Antiquarian in spirit, fond of mingling bits of book-lore with personal reminiscence, Tuckerman picks his meditative and discriminating way along the byways of literature and life. Authors, Pictures, Inns, Sepulchres, Holidays, Bridges, equally provoke his ready flow of illustrative anecdote and well-chosen quotation. With Longfellow and others, he did much to familiarize the American public with a wide range of literature. His cosmopolitanism, however, though of considerable service to his contemporaries, prevented him from interpreting the America that he knew to other countries or to after times. His pleasantly pedantic essays are no longer either novel or informing. Lowell and Whipple have left him scarcely a corner of his chosen field.

egends of the Alhambra, published in 1832. In 1828, Irving declined an offer of one hundred guineas to write an article for The Quarterly review, of which his friend Murray was the publisher, on the ground, as he wrote, that the Review [then under the editorship of Gifford] has been so persistently hostile to our country that I cannot draw a pen in its service. This episode may count as a fair rejoinder to certain of the home critics who were then accusing Irving (as half a century later Lowell was, in like manner, accused) of having become so much absorbed in his English sympathies as to have lost his patriotism. In 1829, Irving was made a member of the Royal Academy of History in Madrid, and having in the same year been appointed Secretary of Legation by Louis McLane, he again took up his residence in London. Here, in 1830, the Royal Society of Literature voted to him as a recognition of his service to history and to literature one of its gold medals. The other medal of tha

upied with other interests than poetry, not excepting the critic, diplomat, orator, and humorist Lowell, none felt his high calling, it seems, with as priestly a consecration,--no, truly, not exceptine generations of Paulding, Percival, Halleck, Drake, Willis, Poe, Longfellow, Whittier, Emerson, Lowell, Whitman, Bret Harte. Yet he was from very early, in imagination and expression, curiously delife and art, his coldness, well established in our literary tradition by some humorous lines of Lowell and a letter of Hawthorne, is a pathetic misreading. There is no sex passion; if there was in B as critic. He was never, to be sure, the professional guide of literary taste, like Arnold and Lowell. Apart from sensible but obvious memorial addresses on Irving, Halleck, and Cooper, his best kne of life a character for Dickens, in heart and soul a character for Thackeray or George Eliot.

ne of the most interesting features of The Dial to the present-day reader is the opportunity and encouragement it afforded to the literary genius of Thoreau. In addition to his and Emerson's, there were, among others, metrical contributions from Lowell, Cranch, and William Ellery Channing, the younger, the last-named one of the poets of transcendentalism, now best remembered for the single line, If my bark sinks, 'tis to another sea. The Dial, needless to say, did not satisfy the public earlier part of his life, much of his tremendous power of activity was expended upon books, and he became a man of immense erudition, the most widely read member of the transcendental group. His learning, however, savoured a little too much, as Lowell suggested, of an attempt to tear up the whole tree of knowledge by the roots, and he surely misconstrued his own nature when he declared I was meant for a philosopher, and the times call for a stump orator. His mind was in reality more practical
