Another extract from the same correspondent shows us how Longfellow was temporarily influenced at Brunswick, like Lowell afterwards at Cambridge, by the marked hygienic and even ascetic atmosphere of the period; an influence apparently encouraged in both cases by their young wives, yet leaving no permanent trat & affection for you both—I am as ever Your affectionate Mary—— [On outside of letter.] September 28.

Chapter 17: resignation of Professorship—to death of Mrs. Longfellow On the last day of 1853, Longfellow wrote in his diary, How barren of all poetic production and even prose production this last year has been! For 1853 I have absolutely nothing to show. Really there has been nothing but the college work. The family absorbs half the time, and letters and visits take out a huge cantle. Yet four days later he wrote, January 4, 1854, Another day absorbed in the college.

Really there has been nothing but the college work. The family absorbs half the time, and letters and visits take out a huge cantle. Yet four days later he wrote, January 4, 1854, Another day absorbed in the college. But why complain? These golden days are driven like nails into the fabric. Who knows but they help it to hold fast and firm? On February 22, he writes, You are not misinformed about my leaving the professorship. I am pawing to get free. On his birthday, February 27, he writes, in the joy of approaching freedom, I am curious to know what poetic victories, if any, will be won this year. On April 19 he writes, At eleven o'clock in No. 6 University Hall, I delivered my last lecture—the last I shall ever deliv

The first of the name is James Langfellay, of Otley. In 1510 SirLongfellow is found in the records of Yorkshire, England, as far back as 1486, and appears under the various spellings of Langfellay, Langfellowe, Langfellow, and Longfellow. The first of the name is James Langfellay, of Otley. In 1510 Sir Peter Langfellowe is vicar of Calverley. In the neighboring towns of Ilkley, Guiseley, and Horsforth lived many Longfellows, mostly yeomen: some of them well-to-do, others a charge on the parish; some getting into the courts and fined for such offences as cutting green wode, or greenhow, or carrying away the Lord's wood,—wood frLongfellow.

One of the name was overseer of highways, and one was churchwarden in Ilkley. It is well established, by tradition and by documents, that the poet's ancestors were in Horsforth. In 1625 we find Edward Longfellow (perhaps from Ilk
Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Appendix III: translations of Mr. Longfellows works (search)
Appendix III: translations of Mr. Longfellows works The following catalogue of translations of Mr. Longfellow's works is based, of course, upon that prepared by Mr. Samuel Longfellow for the memoir of his brother. This is here, however, revised, corrected, and much enlarged, partly by the addition of later versions and partly by others gathered from European bibliographies and publishers' lists; this work being aided by the learned guidance of Professor Wiener of Harvard University. Eve is doubtless quite incomplete; so widely scattered are these translations among the periodicals and even the schoolbooks of different nations, and so much time and labor would be required to furnish an absolutely complete exhibit.
