ed and championed by an Anglican minister. For his boldness, however, his parishioners drove him into exile, in common with many another clergyman who held similar views. Mention should also be made here of the poems of Philip Freneau and John Trumbull, although the fuller discussion of their literary significance belongs elsewhere in this work. Book I, Chap. IX. The first of Freneau's poems of the Revolution, On the Conqueror of America shut up in Boston and General Gage's Soliloquy, were published in the summer of 1775, while the siege of Boston was in progress. Trumbull, whose muse had already responded to some of the earlier incidents of the war, published the first canto of McFingal in January, 1776. Grounded, as were the writings of both of these authors, in a clear, popular understanding of the points at issue, and foreshadowing, in Freneau's case, the ultimate attainment of independence, the satirical humour of the poems confirmed the faithful and strengthened the wa

Yet the work of the Hartforled from Boston as a traitor. The Boston Port Bill evoked from John Trumbull an Elegy on the times (1775), which uses the elegiac quatrains he same author's McFingal, the most effective satire of its time. Trumbull was born in what is now Watertown, Connecticut, in 1750, and grade removed to Detroit in 1825, and died there in 1831. McFingal, Trumbull's chief work, is a political satire in favour of the whigs.

Henry Theodore Tuckerman In anticipating Dr. Johnson's advice to fashion his prose style on the model of Addison, Franklin anticipated also the practice of American essay-writers for more than a generation. Like Franklin's Dogood papers, the first essays printed in colonial newspapers were written with a conscious moral purpose. With some spice of wit Timothy Dwight and John Trumbull collaborated in an imitation of The Spectator in 1769-70, and between 1785 and 1800 nearly a hundred series of light periodical essays were contributed to various New England journals.
