s me not, nor Emerson. It measures not the meridian but the morning ray; the nations wait for the gnomon that shall mark the broad noon. Alcott's Ms. Diary, XIV. 65, 146, 150, 157. These remarks are of value as illustrating the difficulty that Margaret Fuller had to encounter in endeavoring to keep her magazine somewhere midway between the demands of Theodore Parker on the one side and those of Alcott on the other. What Theodore Parker alone would have made it may be judged by his Massachusetts Quarterly Review, which followed it; which, as he said, was to be the Dial with a beard, but which turned out to be the beard without the Dial. What Mr. Alcott alone would have made of it may be judged by Heraud's Monthly Magazine, which did not, any more than Parker's Quarterly, bear comparison in real worth and suggestiveness with the Dial itself. That on Alcott, at least, some gentle restrictive pressure had to be exercised may be seen by his rather indignant introduction to Days f

That on Alcott, at least, some gentle restrictive pressure had to be exercised may be seen by his rather indignant introduction to Days from a diary, in the last number that Margaret Fuller edited. Here he chafes at some delay in publishing his contribution, and adds significantly : The Dial prefers a style of thought and diction not mine; nor can I add to its popularity with its chosen readers.

printed in the Dial for July, 1841, under the name of Protean wishes. Dial, II. 77. Besides these well-known contributors, she also applied to other literary friends, whose response apparently never came. Among them was her old friend at Providence, Albert G. Greene, then the recognized head of the literary society of that city. To him she writes, October 2, 1840: Where are the poems and essays, Pumpkin Monodies, and Militia Musters, we were promised? Send them, I pray, forthwith. Theswere the Rev. W. D. Wilson, who wrote The Unitarian movement in New England; the Rev. Thomas T.

Poetry was supplied by Clarke, Cranch, Dwight, Thoreau, Ellery Channing, and, latterly, Lowell; while Parker furnished solid, vigorous, readable, commonsense articles, which, as Mr. Emerson once told me, sold the numbers. It is a curious fact that the only early Dial to which Parker contributed nothing was that which called down this malediction from Carl

ith anxious eyes the defects of their child,--but rather those who, like myself, came too late upon the scene to do more than have some boyish copy of verses judiciously rejected from the last numbers, and who yet drew from the earlier volumes a real and permanent impulse. When one considers the part since played in American literature and life by those whose youthful enthusiasm created this periodical, it is needless to say that their words kindled much life in the hearts of those still younger. It is a sufficient proof of the advantage of this potent influence that it worked itself clear, at last; and those who were reared on the Dial felt the impulse of its thought without borrowing its alleged vagueness. Nor was this influence limited to America, for on visiting England in 1846 Margaret Fuller had the pleasure of writing to Emerson, On my first arrival I encountered at Liverpool and Manchester a set of devout readers of the Dial, and still more of Emerson.

ime, Mr. Alcott and, perhaps, others of the stricter school of Transcendentalism, were shaking their heads over the Dial as being timid, compromising, and, in fact, rather a worldly and conventional affair. Even before its actual birth we find him writing in his diary, I fear that the work will consult the temper, and be awed by the bearing of existing things. Alcott's Ms. Diary, XIV. 65. After the first number he writes to Dr. Marston in England, It is but a twilight Dial; and to Charles Lane, This Dial of ours should have been a truer. It does not content the public, nor even ourselves. Yours, the Monthly Magazine [Heraud's], pleases me better in several aspects. To Heraud he writes at the same time: The Dial partakes of our vices, it consults the mood and is awed somewhat by the bearing of existing orders, yet is superior to our other literary organs, and satisfies in part the hunger of our youth. It satisfies me not, nor Emerson. It measures not the meridian but

nd them, I pray, forthwith. These were humorous poems, in which Mr. Greene was prolific, though only one of this class of his productions, Old Grimes, has survived to posterity. They would have been oddly out of place in the Dial, had they arrived. In her first two years of editorship she brought into prominence a series of writers each of whom had his one statement to make, and, having made it, discreetly retired. Such were the Rev. W. D. Wilson, who wrote The Unitarian movement in New England; the Rev. Thomas T. Stone, who wrote Man in the ages; Mrs. Ripley, the gifted wife of the Rev.

piece occasionally. I have not sent it to E. H. [Ellen Hooper] or C. S. [Caroline Sturgis] or N. I sent a list to W. and J. [Weeks & Jordan] of those to whom I wished this number sent. I did not give Mr. Stone's name, but doubtless Mr. R. did. I will see about it, however. I presume Mr. Cranch is a sub. scriber, as is J. F. Clarke and others who will write; but I will look at the list when in town next Wednesday. I desired Mr. Thoreau's Persius to be sent him, as I was going away to Cohasset at the time it came out, and I understood from Mr. R. that it was sent, and he did not correct it. I do not know how this was; the errors are most unhappy. I will not go away again when it is in press. I like the poetry better in small type myself and thought the little page neat and unpretending, but have no such positive feeling about such things that I would not defer entirely to your taste. But now we have begun so, I should think it undesirable to make changes this year, as the fi
