ght demand, is not surprising. Investigation has shown that of Bret Harte's three hundred dialect words and phrases a mere handful remain unidentified as American. The term Western, however, usually has reference not to the Pacific slope but to the Middle West and South-west. The Western dialect is currently understood to be the dialect found in the writings of Mark Twain, See Book III, Chap. VIII. Edward Eggleston, Hamlin Garland, See Book III, Chap. VI.

Lucy Larcom and Alice and Phoebe Cary published books of childhood songs; and other women followed with no particular success. Eugene Field See also Book II, Chap. XXIII, and Book III, Chap. IX. and James Whitcomb Riley See also Book III, Chap. X. wrote many tender and charming poems about children, but with some notable exceptions they are as much from the adult point of view as were Longfellow's. The point of view of youthful patriots was skilfully considered in Poems and ballads upon important episodes in American history (1887) by Hezekiah Butterworth, long connected with The youth's companion. The best verse is scattered in magazines and newspapers, particularly as publishers have learned f
