Saxton, father of the well-known military governor of South Carolina, who wrote Prophecy — Transcendentalism — progress; the Rev. W. B. Greene, a West Point graduate, and afterwards colonel of the Fourteenth Massachusetts Volunteers, who wrote First principles. Miss Fuller herself wrote the more 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 contributed nothing was that which called down this malediction from Carlyle:-- The Dial, too, it is all spirit-like, aeriform, auroraborealislike. Will no Angel body himself out of that; no stalwart Ya

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.

family made my stay here so uncertain, that I wrote the little notice with regard to the possibility of suspending the Dial for a time, feeling that I must draw back from my promise that I would see to the summer number; but this morning after J. Clarke and Miss P. had at last the means of almost entirely examining the accounts, they give me the result you find in her letter to you, which makes it impossible for me to go on at all. I could not do it, in future, if I have the same burden on ng 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.

to do anything I can to aid you. There must be prompt answer, as the press will wait. Your 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

unt, if necessary, though then possessed of but about $500 in the world. Fuller Mss. II. 661. Such acts of sisterly devotion were common things with her; and this is mentioned only to show out of what patient self-denial the Dial was born. Four months later she was compelled to lay down her task; her own statement of circumstances being as follows, in a letter to Mr. Emerson, and briefly indorsed by him Margaret Fuller--March, 1842. Stop the Dial ! My dear Waldo,--I requested Miss Peabody to write to you, but, after looking over her letter, I want to add some lines myself. I hoped they would get at these particulars before you returned from New York, that you might hear them on your way and not be teased as soon as you arrive at your quiet home, but you came earlier than I had expected. Yesterday I found myself so unwell, and really exhausted, [while] letters received from the family made my stay here so uncertain, that I wrote the little notice with regard to the possib

n Monodies, and Militia Musters, we were promised? Send 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.

ill 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, bmiration and rage by the critics, and with especial wrath by Edgar Poe. E. H.'s poet was a strong poem, also contained in the second number of the Dial, by Mrs. Ellen Hooper, wife of Dr. R. W Hooper,--a woman of genius, who gave our literature a classic in the lines beginning,-- I slept, and dreamed that life was beauty. MarHooper,--a woman of genius, who gave our literature a classic in the lines beginning,-- I slept, and dreamed that life was beauty. Margaret Fuller wrote of her long afterwards from Rome, I have seen in Europe no woman more gifted by nature than she. Another of the Dial poets was the sister of this lady, Miss Caroline Sturgis, afterwards Mrs. William Tappan, some of whose best are contained in this same second number of the Dial, where her contributions are sign

friend spoke it in blame that I could prize talent 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 t

m 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 o, 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 iorate 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, not regard your contempt for the long prosa on Transcendentalism — Progress, etc., any more than Parker's disgust at Henry Thoreau's pieces. You go on a different principle; you would have everything in it good according to your taste, which is,
