dging herself, however, to become responsible for the whole amount, 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 unc

ch, 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 for a poet, least of all for an amatory poet. So, if you throw the lines under the grate, in your critical wisdom, I shall not be grieved, vexed, or ruffled; for, though I have enough of the irritabile in my composition, I have none of the irritabile vatis. Weiss's Parker, II. 303. These distrusted love verses were, as I learn from Mr. G. W. Cook, those printed in the Dial for July, 1841, under the name of Protean wishes. Dial, II. 77. Besides these well-known contributors, she also applied to other literary friends, whose response apparently never came. Among them was her old friend at Providence, Albert G. Greene, then the recognized head of the literary society of that city. To him she writes, October 2, 1840: Where are the poems and es

ributors. I wish, she writes in her diary, I could overcome my distrust of Mr. Alcott's mind. Fuller Mss. i. 599. Of Theodore Parker she says: He cannot be the leader of my journal, . . . but his learning and just way of thinking will make him a very valuable aid. Fuller Mss. i. 599. This capital remark is also made, in one case, upon a rather elaborate contributor: It was pity to break Mr. Lane's piece. He needs to fall his whole length to show his weight. Ms. letter to Emerson, August 5, 1848. But best of all is this clear statement, in which, even against the authority of Emerson, she pleads for breadth of judgment:-- Cambridge, 12th November, 1843. When I had the care of the Dial, I put in what those connected with me liked, even when it did not well please myself, on this principle, that I considered a magazine was meant to suit more than one class of minds. As I should like to have writings from you, Mr. Ripley, Mr. Parker, etc., so I should like to have writings re

Clarke and others who will write; but I will look at the list when in town next Wednesday. I desired Mr. Thoreau's Persius totor 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.

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

of Time, we must have for that. Ms. The poem described in these last words will readily be recognized as Emerson's since celebrated Wood-notes. The Ellery is an article by Emerson entitled New poetry and made up chiefly of extracts from Ellery Channing's poems — an essay received with mingled admiration 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 Hooplopstock 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

tist, with all the treasures of wit, of science, and of power at his command. It is easy to see that if this last clause originally contained the words eloquence and wealth it is greatly strengthened by the change. As to obtaining a verse from Emerson to fill the gap at the close of his paper, her appeal seems to have been successful; the five lines called Silence being placed there, which, although not included by him in his published volumes, are now printed as his by his editor, Mr. Cabot. At the time of its first appearance the little verse was regarded as rather grotesque; and it will never, perhaps, be placed among his happiest efforts. The storm of criticism which opened upon the Dial, at the very outset, was something formidable. It was directed even at the very moderate peculiarities of Emerson; the Knickerbocker, a New York monthly, making great fun of his opening essay, which it derided as literary euphuism. But the chief assault fell upon Alcott's Orphic Sayi

It is very difficult to me to resolve on publishing any of my own writing: it never seems worth it, but the topmost bubble on my life; and the world, the Public! alas!-give me to realize that there are individuals 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.

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.

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,

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; Jo

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
