e right —glorious, but, Oh how hard! In these moments of doubt his ever solicitous mother exhorted him to fresh courage and perseverance. Through these years of study in Cambridge, Wentworth made frequent visits to Brattleboro, kept the family supplied with books, and suggested lists for the village book club. He was constantly adding to his own collections of books, and wrote, My library is now becoming rather imposing. His principal companion in the school seems to have been Mr. Samuel Longfellow, brother of the poet, who was one year in advance of Wentworth. About this friend he said, He is a beautiful soul, though there is a certain shadow of reserve about him. He spoke of his sister Mrs. Fanny [Mrs. H. W. Longfellow]. I got a charming idea of the household goddess. She was just Wordsworth's phantom of delight, he said. While living in Divinity Hall Higginson formed a romantic attachment for a brilliant youth named Hurlbut, who was also a theological student. This frie

his wife:— I have been thinking of him this winter going from Dan to Beersheba on his Mission and concluded [that] with his utter contempt of all wrappings he must freeze. I am engaged in several new enterprises, wrote Higginson to Samuel Longfellow who was abroad; one is or was the attempt to bring back the Free Soil Party to self-control and consistency from the more fascinating paths of coalition and conquest; this has failed already; and I have only seen my name in many newsunhappy paper and there has been some diabolical erratum in each one. I shall try no further. It is needless to say that these diaboli continued to annoy the author through life. It was while in Newburyport that, with the cooperation of Samuel Longfellow, Mr. Higginson undertook to edit a volume of sea poems called Thalatta. The editors apparently thought of bringing this volume out at the same time that Uncle Tom's Cabin appeared, as Higginson wrote, Thalatta is at a standstill because Mr

n I get a new budget of notes and materials into a fresh portfolio, and begin upon a new picture. In regard to the publication of the book of sea poems, profanely called the Marine Sam-Book in distinction from the hymn-book compiled by Messrs. Longfellow and Johnson, and popularly known as the Sam-Book, Mr. Higginson wrote to a friend:— The best result of S. L.'s [Samuel Longfellow] visit [to Europe] was to transform Thalatta from a past vision to a future reality. . . . We planned itSamuel Longfellow] visit [to Europe] was to transform Thalatta from a past vision to a future reality. . . . We planned it six years ago and now Europe has revived it all in Sam and he has proposed it once more to James T. Fields (Ticknor & Co.) and that bold youth (also fresh from Europe, these two having visited the Brownings together) consented. So the book is to begin to be printed in February and between now and then what copying and debating and selecting! In 1859, the famous Atlantic dinner was given to Mrs. Stowe, which Colonel Higginson has described in Cheerful Yesterdays. To his mother he thus repo

oad for several months. After his return in the autumn, he moved his goods and chattels to Cambridge. Here he took delight in planning a new home, and in February, 1879, was quietly married to the writer of this memoir. His old friend, Rev. Samuel Longfellow, performed the ceremony. The being beauteous of Longfellow's poem, Footsteps of Angels, was my mother's sister, and the poet was present at the wedding.

A visit made soon afterward to my kindred in Harper's Ferry was described by Colonel Higginson in a letter to his sister:— You can imagine nothing more curious than our arrival at Harper's Ferry. It was in the evening . . . The train stopped in a dismantled sort of station where stood an old man with soft white hair on his shoulders holding a lantern and attended by two blooming, fair-haired daughters; they seized us with joy. There seemed no houses anywhere and we set off to walk across ruined pavements feebly lighted by the one lantern. Presently they turned up a f

aited until the riot had ceased when he went on calm and unruffled; and my admiration, always great, sensibly rose as I saw his wonderful command of himself. Feb. 15, 1901. P. M. Lectured to Filene's workpeople on People I have met. Mar. 6, 1902. Prince Henry of Prussia here. I spoke at the dinner at the Somerset. After the Military History was off his hands he wrote, Tales of the Enchanted Islands of the Atlantic, Book and Heart, and Old Cambridge. In 1900, he began a Life of Longfellow for the American Men of Letters series, and in 1902 wrote a biography of Whittier, recording in July, Have worked for ten days on Whittier—averaging 1000 words daily. The French writer, Th. Bentzon (Mme. Blanc), after visiting this country in the nineties, wrote an account of Colonel Higginson which was translated with the inapt title, A Typical American. The 1902 diary says:— Received proof of A Typical American, by Madame Blanc; a London translation into English sent me for re
