Stowe, Harriet Elizabeth Beecher 1811-1896 Author; born in Litchfield, Conn., June 14, Harriet Elizabeth Beecher Stowe. 1811; sister of Henry Ward Beecher and wife of Rev. Calvin E. Stowe; was educated at Hartford, Conn., and taught school there and at Cincinnati. She married at the latter place when twenty-two years old, and afterwards lived in Andover, Hartford, and Brunswick, Me., also spending much time in Florida. Her most famous work, Uncle Tom's cabin, was first published in the Washington National era in 1851. This book is credited with having a most powerful bearing on the Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln. Among her other successful works were Dred; The minister's Wooing; My wife and I; We and our neighbors; Old town folks; Poganuc people; Agnes of Sorrento; Pink and White tyranny, etc. She died in Hartford, Conn., July 1, 1896.

91): It was the project of a young enthusiast [Mr. Underwood himself], who desired to enlist the leading authors of New England in the crusade against slavery, and it had been the subject of conferences at intervals with Lowell, Longfellow, and Mrs. Stowe for more than three years. The following letters, both addressed to me,--I was then living in Worcester, Massachusetts,--will explain what occurred during these intervening years:-- Boston, November 21, 1853. Dear Sir, Messrs. J. P. Jewly determined upon. Probably, however, it will be commenced. The letters I wrote for the enlistment of contributors have been mostly answered favorably. We have already a very respectable list engaged. We are waiting to hear definitely from Mrs. Stowe, whom we hope will be induced to commence in the Feb. no. a new story.

Holmes's literary opinions belonged, as compared with Lowell's, to an earlier generation. Holmes was still influenced by the school of Pope, whom Lowell disliked, although his father had admired him. We notice this influence in Holmes's frequent recurrence to the tensyllable verse; in his unwillingness to substitute dactyls for spondees; and in his comments on Emerson's versification, which remind one of those of Johnson on Milton. He has a great aversion to what he calls the crowding of a redundant syllable into a line. He says, for instance, Can any ear reconcile itself t

Humphreys Storer; and to the Christian ministry, Calvin E. Stowe and George B. Cheever. The corresponding four classes at Harvard had more than twice the number of students (252), but I do not think the proportion of men of national reputation was quite so large, although the Harvard list included Admiras Francis Adams, Frederick Henry Hedge, George Ripley, and Sears Cook Walker. It is interesting also to note the records of the library kept in Longfellow's clear and delicate hand; the old copy of Horace, which had previously belonged to Calvin E. Stowe, and out of which Longfellow made the translation which practically determined his career, since its merit led to his selection by the Faculty as the future Professor of Modern Languages in the college. It is curious also to observe on the
