passionate feeling, but caught no glimpse at the time of this higher mood.... If she publishes, I would not have her omit the lines about the lonely room. The personal interest with which they stamp that part is slight and delicate.... S. Margaret Fuller. I know of many persons in my own circle to whom I think the poem would be especially grateful. This manuscript poem was lost, together with many others of the period, a loss always regretted by our mother. On every hand she met pch of him. ... I have had hardly the least dash of Transcendentalism, and that of the very best description, a lecture and a visit from Emerson, in both of which he said beautiful things, and to-morrow (don't be shocked!) a conversation at Miss Fuller's, which I shall treasure up for your amusement and instruction. I have also heard (don't go into hysterics!) Dr. Channing once. It was a rare chance, as he does not now preach once in a year. His discourse was very beautiful — and oh, such

She heard Channing preach, heard him say that God loves bad men as well as good; another window opened in her soul. Again, on a journey to Boston, she met Ralph Waldo Emerson. The train being delayed at a wayside station, she saw the Transcendentalist, whom she had pictured as hardly human, carrying on his shoulder the child of she still held in the main, and with which she felt he would not agree. She enlarged upon the personal presence of Satan on this earth, on his power over man. Mr. Emerson replied with gentle courtesy, Surely the angel must be stronger than the Demon! She never forgot these words; another window opened, and a wide one. Julia Wt least a man, every inch of him. ...

a party at Miss Shaw's, given to Boz and me, at least, I was invited before he came here, so think that I will only give him an equal share of the honor. I danced a good deal, with some very agreeable partners, and talked as usual with Sumner, Hillard, George S. Hillard. Longo, Longfellow. etc. I was quite pleased that Boz recognized Fanny Appleton and myself, and gave us a smile and bow en passant.

Longo, Longfellow. etc. I was quite pleased that Boz recognized Fanny Appleton and myself, and gave us a smile and bow en passant. He could do no more, being almost torn to pieces by the crowd which throngs his footsteps, wherever he goes. I like to look at him, he has a bright and most speaking countenance, and his face is all wrinkled with the lines, not of care, but of laughter. His manners are very free and cordial, and he seems to be as capital a fellow as one would suppose from his writings. He circulates as universally as small change, and understands the art of gratifying others without troubling himself, of letting himself be seen without displaying himself — now this speaks for his real good tast
John Ward (search for this): chapter 4
The five unmarried children would have been desolate, indeed, if left to themselves in the great house: but to the joy and comfort of all, their bachelor uncle, John Ward, left his own house and came to live with them. From this time until his death in 1866, he was a second father to them. Uncle John! The words call up memoriee day his mother, trying to help him in some small matter, and not succeeding to her mind, cried, I am a poor, awkward, old woman! No, you are not! exclaimed John Ward; and the trouble was over. His devotion to his orphan nieces and nephews was constant and beautiful. He desired ardently that the three girls should be good with Goethe, Jean Paul, and Matthias Claudius. She describes the sense of intellectual freedom derived from these studies as half delightful, half alarming. Mr. Ward one day had undertaken to read an English translation of Faust and came to her in great alarm. My daughter, he said, I hope that you have not read this wicked b

She never forgot these words; another window opened, and a wide one. Julia Ward had come a long way from old Ascension Church, where Peter Stuyvesant, in a full brown wig, carried round the plate, and the Reverend Manton (afterwards Bishop) Eastburn preached sermons remarked for their good English ; and where communicants were not expected to go to balls or theatres. The years of mourning over, the Ward sisters took up the pursuits natural to their age and position. Louisa was now eighteen, very beautiful, already showing the rare social gift which distinguished her through life. The two sisters began a season of visiting, dancing, and all manner of gayeties. The following letter illustrates this period of her girlhood:-- To her sisters Boston (1842), Friday, that's all I

About the same time the Bank of England sent to Prime, Ward & King a loKing a loan of nearly five million dollars in gold.

Chapter 4: girlhood 1839-1843; aet. 20-23 The torch that lit these silent halls, Has now extinguished been; The windows of the soul are dark, And all is gloom within. But lo! it shines, a star in heav'n, And through death's murky night, The ruins of the stately pile Gleam softly in its light. And it shall be a beacon star To cheer us, and to guide; For we would live as thou hast lived, And die as thou hast died. Julia Ward, on her father's death, 1839. In Julia's childhood her brotherdoes. They say she dreams in Italian and quotes French verses. She sang very prettily at a party last evening, and accompanied herself on the piano. I noticed how white her hands were. During a subsequent visit to Boston in the winter of 1842-43, Julia Ward and Dr. Howe became engaged. The engagement was warmly welcomed by the friends of both. Charles Sumner writes to Julia:-- Howe has told me, with eyes flashing with joy, that you have received his love. May God make you happy

e Bank of the United States by the famous Specie Circular as an act so lawless, violent, and fraught with disaster, that it would and must eventually overthrow the men and the party that resorted to it, was justified, literally and entirely. The crisis of 1836-37 called for all the strength, wisdom, and public spirit that the men of the country could show. Mr. Ward labored day and night to prevent the dishonor of the banks of New York. Individual effort, however, was vain, and the 10th of May saw all the banks reduced to suspend specie payments; and upon no man did that disastrous day close with deeper mortification than upon him. Personally, and in his business relations, this event affected Mr. Ward as little possibly as any one at all connected with affairs; but, in his estimation, it vitally wounded the commercial honor and character of the city. He was not, however, a man to waste, in unavailing regrets, hours that might be more advantageously employed to repair the evil

g with Andrew Jackson's refusal to renew the charter of the Bank of the United States, and culminating in the panic of 1837, Mr. Ward acted with vigor, decision, and sagacity.
