soon transplanted into School readers and books of declamation, and the latter, at least, soon passed for a piece of genuine revolutionary eloquence. I remember learning it by heart, under that impression, and was really astonished, on recently reading The Rebels for the first time, to discover that the high-sounding periods which I had always attributed to Otis were really to be found in a young lady's romance. This book has a motto from Bryant, and is most respectfully inscribed to George Ticknor. The closing paragraph states with some terseness the author's modest anxieties-- Many will complain that I have dwelt too much on political. scenes, familiar to every one who reads our history; and others, on the contrary, will say that the character of the book is quite too tranquil for its title. I might mention many doubts and fears still more important; but I prefer silently to trust this humble volume to that futurity which no one can foresee and every one can read. The fe

moist clover-heads, in the hope of reproducing the sheen and fragrance, the luxuriance and the odor of a meadow, fresh bathed in the Paphilan wells of a June morning! In 1850 many of these sketches and letters were collected and republished by Ticknor & Fields, under the name of Greenwood Leaves. The contemporary estimate given to these writings by Rev. Mr. Mayo is so just and so tasteful that no reader will regret its insertion here :-- The authoress is the heroine of the book; not thtings for the young. She edits the Little Pilgrim, a monthly devoted to the amusement, the instruction, and the well-being of little folks. Its best articles are her contributions. These have been collected from time to time, and published by Ticknor & Fields, and make a juvenile library, numbering nearly a dozen volumes. Though intended for children, none of these books but will charm older readers, with the elegance and freshness of their style, their abounding vivacity and harmless wit,

their merits were generously appreciated by the critics. A second series, published in 1853, was equally successful. The Clovernook children --issued in 1854 by Ticknor & Fields, and addressed more especially to the tastes and wants of younger readers — has been hardly less commended or less popular. Lyra and other poems, publisas a decided success is sufficiently indicated by the fact that a more complete edition, including all. the contents of Redfield's, with much more, was issued by Ticknor & Fields in 1855. The maiden of Tiascala, a narrative poem of seventy-two pages, was first given to the public in this Boston edition. Her first novel-Hagar; ar successive volumes, along with others not previously published. Lyrics and Hymns issued in 1866 by Hurd & Houghton, The lover's diary, admirably brought out by Ticknor & Fields in 1867, and Snow Berries; s Book for Young Folks, by the same house, are her latest volumes. Nearly all of her prose works have been reprinted in Lond

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe. Mrs. Lucia Gilbert Calhoun. Fourteen years ago there came from the famous press of Ticknor & Company, a small volume of Poems, whose first page, beside the imprint of the publishers, bore only the simple title-line Passion Flowers. An anonymous book of poetry does not commend itself to the reading mob, and not many copies were sold. But the critics read it, and the scholars, and that small public which had heard that it was Mrs. Howe's book, and desired to know what sort of verses a woman of society, a wit, a housewife, and a mother of children would write. It was a book that invited, and received, and defied criticism; a book powerful, pungent, and unripe. Its personalism was terrible. In every page it said, Lo, this thing that God has made and called by my name! What is it? Why is it? Behold its passions and temptations; its triumphs and its agonies; its fervors and its doubts; its love and its scorn; its disappointment and its acquiescence
