Frank Preston Stearns, Cambridge Sketches, Chevalier Howe. (search)
e Greek navy, and finally, as a reward for all his services, he received a present of Byron's cavalry helmet,--certainly a rare trophy. This helmet hung for many years on the hat-tree at Dr. Howe's house in South Boston. Doctor Howe's mysterious imprisonment in Berlin in 1832 is the more enigmatical since Berlin has generally been the refuge of the oppressed from other European countries. The Huguenots, expelled by Louis XIV., went to Berlin in such numbers that they are supposed by Menzel to have modified the character of its inhabitants. The Salzburg refugees were welcomed in Prussia by Frederick William I., who had an official hanged for embezzling funds that were intended for their benefit. In 1770 Frederick the Great gave asylum to the Jesuits who had been expelled from every Catholic capital in Europe; and when the brothers Grimm and other professors were banished from Cassel for their liberalism, they were received and given positions by Frederick William IV.

path which has conducted her to a disbelief in all revelation and the immortality of the soul — too melancholy a subject for me to dwell on here. Recollections of Seventy years, p. 262. If this feeling existed about Kant it was still stronger about Goethe. Even the genial Longfellow spoke of that monstrous book, the Elective Affinities, although this story was written with a moral purpose, and would be far more leniently judged at the present day. Longfellow's friend Felton translated Menzel's German Litature, in which Goethe appears as a pretender and quite a secondary person. Yet Margaret Fuller, who has been lately censured by Professor Harris as not admiring the great German poet enough, was held up to censure in her day for admiring him too much. This ardent, slowly-tamed, and gradually-tempered feminine nature, yearning to be, to do, and to suffer, all at the same time, was supposed to model herself after the marble statue, Goethe. The charge was self-contradicting; and

wearied Theodore Parker attempted, half a dozen years after, to embody the maturer expression of the same phase of thought in the Massachusetts quarterly review, he predicted that the new periodical would be The Dial, with a beard. But the result was disappointment. It was all beard, and no Dial. During the first year of the Dial's existence, it contained but little from the editor,--four short articles, the Essay on critics, Dialogue between poet and critic, The Allston exhibition, and Menzel's view of Goethe, --and two of what may be called fantasy-pieces, Leila, and The Magnolia of Lake Pontchartrain. The second volume was richer, containing four of her most elaborate critical articles,.-Goethe, Lives of the great Composers, Festus, and Bettine Brentano. Few American writers have ever published in one year so much of good criticism as is to be found in these four essays. She wrote also, during this period, the shorter critical notices, which were good, though unequal. She w

Greenleaf, sole instructor when Judge Story was absent on judicial service, found himself overburdened with work. In literature there was new activity. Prescott's Ferdinand and Isabella, his first work, was winning golden opinions, and he was making researches for his Conquest of Mexico. Cleveland was writing the Life of Henry Hudson for Sparks's American Biography, and editing Sallust. Hillard was completing his edition of Spenser. Felton was preparing a Greek Reader, and translating Menzel's History of German Literature. Longfellow published The Psalm of Life in Sept., 1838, and a few months later Hyperion and The Voices of the Night. Dr. Lieber visited Boston to superintend the publication of the Political Ethics. Motley was writing Morton's Hope. Greenleaf was gathering the materials for a treatise upon The Law of Evidence. Story was in the full tide of authorship, writing and printing The Law of Agency, and revising Equity Pleadings and other works. The period of fi
