speak! Ms. She appears, by her correspondence, to have had the usual trials of an editor in respect to the procrastination of others; and we find her actively angling for contributions from Emerson, Parker, Hedge, Alcott, Channing, Clarke, Dwight, Cranch, and the rest. Parker even sent her poetry, as appears by the following letter from him: Herewith I send you a couple of little bits of verse, which I confess to you, sub rosa rosissima, are mine. Now, I don't think myself made foe mystical sketches--Klopstock and Meta, The Magnolia of Lake Pontchartrain, Yucca Filamentosa, and i Leila ; as well as the more elaborate critical papers--Goethe, Lives of the great Composers, and Festus. 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 contrib

p, the concluding sentence!! I agree that Mr. Alcott's sayings read well. I thought to write aboary euphuism. But the chief assault fell upon Alcott's Orphic Sayings, which provoked numerous parodies, the worst of which Mr. Alcott composedly pasted into his diary, indexing them, with his accustnd be awed by the bearing of existing things. Alcott's Ms. Diary, XIV. 65. After the first number hor the gnomon that shall mark the broad noon. Alcott's Ms. Diary, XIV. 65, 146, 150, 157. Thesef Theodore Parker on the one side and those of Alcott on the other. What Theodore Parker alone woul out to be the beard without the Dial. What Mr. Alcott alone would have made of it may be judged by suggestiveness with the Dial itself. That on Alcott, at least, some gentle restrictive pressure hafor contributions from Emerson, Parker, Hedge, Alcott, Channing, Clarke, Dwight, Cranch, and the resn her diary, I could overcome my distrust of Mr. Alcott's mind.

rs 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. George Ripley, who wrote on ( Woman; Professor John M. Mackie, now of Providence, R. I., who wrote of Shelley ; Dr. Francis Tuckerman, who wrote Music of the winter; John A.

ls to whom I can speak! Ms. She appears, by her correspondence, to have had the usual trials of an editor in respect to the procrastination of others; and we find her actively angling for contributions from Emerson, Parker, Hedge, Alcott, Channing, Clarke, Dwight, Cranch, and the rest. Parker even sent her poetry, as appears by the following letter from him: Herewith I send you a couple of little bits of verse, which I confess to you, sub rosa rosissima, are mine. Now, I don't thi, and this seems to have been true in a measure with all its contributors. She continued to write much for it even after her editorship had ceased; but is sometimes found so discontented with her own work as to withhold it. After the death of Dr. Channing she thus writes to Mr. Emerson (November 8, 1842):-- Should you write some notice of Dr. C. for your Dial if I did not? I have written, but the record seems best adapted for my particular use, and I do not know whether I shall come to a

special interest to the following letter; and this, moreover, shows how fearlessly Miss Fuller and her associate, the Rev. George Ripley, criticised their most revered contributor:-- 19th July, 1840 I suppose it is too warm for my dear friend tov. W. D. Wilson, who wrote The Unitarian movement in New England; the Rev.

As I should like to have writings from you, Mr. Ripley, Mr. Parker, etc., so I should like to have writings recommended by each of you. I thought it less important that every

affectionate Margaret. Ms. The following month, after the appearance of a circular from Mr. Emerson announcing the continuance of the magazine, she writes as follows:-- Canton, April 18 [1842]. dear friend,--I received your letter before I left Boston, but in the hurry of the last hours could not write even a notelette with the parcel I requested J. Clarke to make up for you of Borrow, Longfellow, some more shreds of Dial, including the wearifua Napoleon, and the Prayer Book, if Dorothea Dix could be induced to grant the same. What awkward thing could I have said about your advertisement? I can't think.--All was understood, except that you had said I should put my name on the cover and announce myself as editor, only that I am not sure I can bind myself for so long as a year, and so when I saw the advertisement I was glad, and only so far surprised as that I had not felt sure you would do it.--How many tedious words! I think I shall like being here much and find the re

ding editor, had to meet, when we consider that, all this time, 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.

nt, you can have as many numbers as you want for yourself or your friends of this first number, but our contract with them was that twelve numbers should be given to Mr. R. each quarter for the use of contributors. Of these I receive two. Mr. Thoreau will have it, of course, as we hope his frequent aid. But I did not expect to furnish it to all who may give a 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 e

as well as genius; but why not? Do not Nature and God the same? The criticism of man should not disparage and displace, but appreciate and classify what it finds existent. Let me recognize talent as well as genius, understanding as well as reason,--but each in its place. Let me revere the statue of Moses, but prize at its due rate yon rich and playful grotesque. Also, cannot one see the merit of a stripling, fluttering muse like that of Moore, without being blind to the stately muse of Dante? Fuller Mss. i. 589. It is to be remembered that although Miss Fuller's salary, as editor of the Dial, was nominally $200, she practically had nothing; and early in its second year she writes to her brother Richard (November 5, 1841): I have begun with a smaller class this year than usual, and the Dial is likely to fall through entirely. In the same letter, and at a time of such discouragement as this, she proposes to her brother that they should unite in advancing $300 to an older bro

Chapter 10: the Dial. Nothing but the launching of a ship concentrates into short space so much of solicitude as the launching of a new magazine. Margaret Fuller writes to her friend Mrs. Barlow: I have the pleasure of sending you the first number of a periodical some of us, your old friends, are going to scribble in. The introduction is by Mr. Emerson ; pieces on Critics and the Allston Gallery by me. The next number will be better. Fuller Mss. i. 23. To Mr. Emerson, as one of the ship-owners, she writes far more freely (July 5, 1840):-- Until I shall have seen Mr. R. [Ripley] I cannot answer all your questions; mais à present, you can have as many numbers as you want for yourself or your friends of this first number, but our contract with them was that twelve numbers should be given to Mr. R. each quarter for the use of contributors.
