Mary Thacher Higginson, Thomas Wentworth Higginson: the story of his life, II: an old-fashioned home (search)
an old colonial house, still to be seen on Brattle Street (then Tory Row), Cambridge. To this school Wentworth was promoted at the age of eight, and there he remained for five years, until he was fitted for college. His acquaintance with James Russell Lowell began here, the latter being one of the older pupils. There is an amusing letter from Lowell to Thacher Higginson which Colonel Higginson later framed and hung in his library. My dear thach,— In the course of human events when the Lowell to Thacher Higginson which Colonel Higginson later framed and hung in his library. My dear thach,— In the course of human events when the mind becomes indued with active spirit, with powerful imagination, with extensive enterprise, with noble designty—Then, my boy, Then! is the time to return to you this—Sallust. Yrs. J. R. L. The first sight of Jimmy Lowell made a lifelong impression on the younger boy's mind as the former came galloping to school on a little white pony, although he lived only a few rods distant. Wentworth's own home was a mile away, and he often dined at the school. Afterward he recalled with amusemen

his article was also published as a tract under the title Ought Women to Learn the Alphabet? Rev. O. B. Frothingham wrote to ask the author if it was abstinence from soups—and salt—and pastry that enabled him to write such papers. Tell me how much liquid, he asked, I must exchange for such a flow of thoughts—how much pepper must be forsaken to leave such spice of wit? How much pie crust must be sacrificed for such a crispness of style? This striking essay was at first considered by James Russell Lowell, then editor of the Atlantic Monthly, as too radical for that magazine, but he afterwards decided to insert it. In the diary of 1890, Mr. Higginson wrote, Much gratified at letter from Miss Eastman telling me from Dr.——that my Ought Women was really the seed of Smith College. A further tribute to the value of this essay came to the author in a letter from a thoughtful friend, who said, I think it was one of the influences that opened Michigan University to women, and has now i

e is a strong reaction against Dickens—it is not the thing to admire him, his subjects are thought commonplace and his sentiments forced. Walt Whitman among their set is the American poet; the taste for Miller has passed by and though he is here his poetry is forgotten. He was thought original and characteristic and when he came to parties with trousers thrust in his boots, he was thought the only American who dared do in England as he would do at home. Whittier was unknown they said, and Lowell only through the Biglow Papers. Swinburne calls him no poet but a critic who tries to write poetry. （13-14 June) I spent in Conway's Convention which was very interesting and called out strong character and ready speaking. I was on the committee too to draft the Constitution which differs somewhat from our Free Religious Association (as does the name Association of Liberal Thinkers). The best known people in it were Voysey (a small and narrow soul who got alarmed and withdrew), Leslie
