porary. Poetry, of course, we pay for according to value. There are not above six men in America (known to me) to whom I would pay anything for poetry. There is no medium; it is good or it is good-for-nothing. Lowell I esteem most; after him Whittier (the last I confidently expect to secure). The first no. will probably be late — as late as Jan. 5, or even Ioth. It is unavoidable. But in Feb. we shall get before the wind. Mr. Jewett will be liberal as to heresy. Indeed he is almost it may almost be said that the bulk of the magazine, for a long series of years, has been furnished by those who may in some sense be claimed as Cambridge authors. In fact, the only other person whose contributions reached the hundred mark was Whittier. It is thus evident that in the case of the Atlantic Monthly, as with the North American Review and the Dial, nearly all the editors and most of the larger contributors were either natives of Cambridge or at some time residents there, apart

mes. Holmes had, moreover, fewer domestic sorrows than his two friends, but on the other hand had by reason of his greater longevity the hardest trial of old age, in the sense of finding himself alone through the departures of his contemporaries. He did not lament over this, but there is abundant evidence that he felt it deeply. Few men have had in their later years such an intoxicating ovation as was awarded to him in England at the age of seventy-seven; but he wrote five years after to Whittier: We are lonely, very lonely, in these last years. . . . We were on deck together as we began the voyage of life two generations ago. A whole generation passed, and the succeeding one found us in the cabin with a goodly number of coevals. Then the craft which held us began going to pieces, until a few of us were left on the raft pieced together of its fragments. And now the raft has at last parted, and you and I are left clinging to the solitary spar, which is all that still remains afloa

for the details of his life, and added, try and fill a foolscap sheet. He wrote to one lady (December 18, 1855), I have sixty unanswered letters lying on my desk before me; and I myself saw, shortly before his death, a pile even larger than this, which had arrived that day from the pupils in the high schools of one western city. It must be owned that though his patience held out through all these trials, his strictness of judgment did not; and that he, like all elderly poets,--Holmes and Whittier in particular,--found it very much easier to praise than blame. The late Mr. John S. Dwight, the leading musical critic of Boston, used to say that Longfellow's influence on the standard of music in that city had been pernicious, inasmuch as he was always ready to head an invitation addressed to any new performer, however mediocre, who was asked to favor the public with a concert. In a thousand ways these diaries give indirect evidence of kindness, and he once said of an unworthy hanger-

fell the last of our colonial thinkers, John Woolman (1720-1772), the Quaker, a sort of provincial Piers Plowman, whose visions of reform were far ahead of his day. In his Journal, the humble tailor of New Jersey takes up, in order, the evils of war and of lotteries, of negro slavery and excessive labour, of the selling of rum to the Indians, of cruelty to animals. Moreover, like the visions of the Plowman, Woolman's work might be called a contribution to the history of English mysticism. Whittier described the Journal as a classic of the inner life ; Channing, as beyond comparison the sweetest and purest autobiography in the language ; while Charles Lamb urged his readers to get the writings of Woolman by heart. These writings are in marked contrast to the controversial spirit of their time. They avoid entangling alliances with either the old or new divinity, and have little to do with the endless quarrels between Calvinists and Arminians. In place of doctrine and formal creed

It began the year following Joel Barlow's American epic The Columbiad, and the publication of The Echo by the Hartford Wits. Longfellow and Whittier were in the cradle, Holmes and Poe unborn.

Yet he was from very early, in imagination and expression, curiously detached from what was going on in poetry around him.
