Thomas Wentworth Higginson, The new world and the new book, X (search)
Heine points out, in his essay on German Romanticism, that we greatly err in supposing that Goethe's early fame bore much comparison with his deserts. He was, indeed, praised for Werther and Gotz von Berlichingen, but the romances of August La Fontaine were in equal demand, and the latter, being a voluminous writer, was much more in men's mouths. The poets of the period were Wieland and Ramler; and Kotzebue and Iffland ruled the stage. Even forty years ago, I remember well, it was considerrand poete, nonseule-ment de France, mais du monde entier), and that nobody less potent than the Duchesse de Longueville would have dared to go to sleep over his poem of La Pucelle? Yet this was in the time of Corneille, Racine, Moliere, and La Fontaine. Heine points out that it is not enough for a poet to utter his own sympathies, he must also reach those of his audience. The audience, he thinks, is often like some hungry Bedouin Arab in the desert, who thinks he has found a sack of peas

t for a number of years his life was a hand-to-hand fight with the wolf at his door. In 1837, while secretary of the American Anti-Slavery Society in New York, he chanced, at De Behr's repository of foreign books, to come upon a cheap copy of La Fontaine's Fables in the French, with some 200 wood cuts in it. His little son, he tells us in his introduction to his translations, was just beginning to feel the intellectual magnetism of pictures, and, to please him, he bought the book. The pictureamong us the face of that devoted friend of all outdoor exploration, Elizur Wright. I have known him almost all my life; first as the fearless ally, and at times the equally fearless critic of William Lloyd Garrison; then as the translator of La Fontaine's Fables,—a task for which he seemed fitted by something French in his temperament, a certain mixture of fire and bonhomie, which lasted to the end of his days; then as a zealous petitioner before the legislature to remove the lingering disabi

Orleans, via the Hudson River and Atlantic Waterways, and Four Months in a Sneak Box, both records of personal experience. In 1853 a volume of short stories, essays and poems by Louise J. Cutter were collected and published after her early death and named Cypress Leaves. Elizabeth M. Hall compiled a book on Practical American Cookery and Domestic Economy that would repay study, even in the changed conditions since 1856. Elizur Wright, a man of words as well as deeds, translated La Fontaine's Fables, 1859, and wrote Savings Bank Life Insurance, 1872, and Trap Baited with Orphan, 1878. His daughter Ellen published his appeals for the Middlesex Fells and the forests, with a sketch of what he did for both. Richard Price Hallowell was the author of Quakers in New England, 1870; Quaker Invasion of Massachusetts, 1883; Pioneer Quakers in Massachusetts, 1887. Mrs. Anna Davis Hallowell edited the Life and Letters of James and Lucretia Mott, 1884. John Ward Dean, whose long
