THE ANTHONY MEMORIA THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES ,yf>///. . '' " Not for hmi, but for us, should our tears be shed ; Mourn, mourn for the living, but not for the dead ; Let the dirge be unsung, and awaken the psalm : No cypress for him who lies crowned witli tlie palm ; Who has gone to his rest When his labor was done, From the world he has blest To the heaven he has won. "Though the light of his life to our vision is o'er, The light of his spirit will burn evermore ; For truth in the world, like the sun in the skies, Fades only to brighten, and sets but to rise. It moves ever onward, Though dimmed is its ray ; And still on the earth It is day, — ever day. "How calmly he uttered his beautiful thought ; How meekly he bore all the honors it brought ; How bravely he spoke to oppression and wrong ; In that calmness, that meekness, that courage, liow strong! Though with tears for his parting Our eyes may be dim, For ourselves they are falling, Not for him, — not for him. " We bless thee, O God, that the spirit is free, Which was true to itself, unto man and to thee ; Thou hast called it from trial, released it from pain. But its life and its teachings will ever i-emain. viii iNTiJon UCTION. The good and the true Never didS — never die ; Though gone, they are liere, Ever nigh— ever nigh." Soon atter resigning his position as Jndge of tlie Municipal Court, in 18()7, Mr. Greene removed to the liome of his daughter, the wife of the Rev. Samuel White Duncan, D.D., in Cleveland, Ohio, where he died Jaiuiarv i. 129, 530. Caleb Fiske Haruis. Caleb Fiske Harris was born in Warwick, R. I., March 9, 1818. He was the son of Stephen Harris, M.D., and Eliza (Greene), a daughter of Capt. James Greene, who was a descendant of John Greene, an associate of Roger Williams, and one of the original purchasers of Shawomet, now called Old A\^ar\vick. The sister of Mrs. Eliza Greene Harris was Mary Kinnicut Greene, the mother of Senator Anthony, The early Rhode Island ancestor of the subject of this sketch was Thomas Harris, a brother of the William Harris, with reference to whom Gov. Arnold says: "He filled a large space in the early history of the colony as an active, deter- mined man, resolute in mind and vigorous in body, delighting in conflict, ])ol' was obliged daily to discuss the fundamewtal principles of Amer- ican government, which were then far less settled than they ai'e at present, and to set forth and urge upon public attention the only mode in which the constitution of a State can be changed without peril to all social interests and rights. During the whole of this excited period, the Journal wielded a commanding influence. Its editorial colunms Avere marked by signal ability and judgment, and the services which it rendered to the cause of constitutional government were gratefully acknowjedged by the people of the State as reflecting the highest credit on its youthful editor and manager. It was by him that its position among the journals of New England was secured, that its principles and purposes w^ere defined, and its reputation established. He did for it a work similar to that which we connect with the names of Hale, of Bryant, of Greeley and of Raymond, for the great journals which they severally created and conducted. Whatever advantage or distinction it then acquired was due to his versatile genius and to his rare ability as a writer for tlie press." The citizens of Rhode Island, recognizing the skill and wisdom with which the youthful journalist had carried on the discussions which were so influential in the vindication and maintenance of the great principles of " law and order," called him to the highest position to which their suf- frao-es coiUd elect him, and, in 1849, he was chosen Governor of the Com- monwealth, an honor which was repeated in 1850. He would have been continued in 6fRce but for his positive declinature of the position. Mean- while, he gave unremitting attention to his editorial duties, not ceasing to be a journalist because he sat in the chair of Governor. There is good rea- son to believe that, without regret, he laid aside his gubernatorial cares that he might devote his whole time to the pursuits of his chosen profes- sion, and, if possible, bring the paper, which was the choice of his affec- tions, nearer his ideal of Avhat such a periodical should be. To the congenial pursuits of his profession Mr. Anthony gave himself with singular earnestness, and with but occasional intermissions for the next six or seven years of his life. The close of the term of senatoria INTRODUCTION. xvii service in Congress of the Hon. Philip Allen on the fourth of March, 1859, made it necessary to elect a Senator to represent the State of Rhode Island at the Capitol in Washington. The AVhigs — the political party with which Mr. Anthony had been so long identified — being in the ascendant in both branches of the General Assembly, he was elected to what lie always regarded as one of the most important and honorable positions a citizen of the United States can fill. He took his seat in Congress on the fifth of December, 1859. This was the second Congress of the adminis- tration of President Buchanan, one of the darkest and dreariest periods in American history. Although among the youngest members of the august body to which he had been elected, being only forty-four years of age, few of the associates of Mr. Anthony were better acquainted with the serious problems which were constantly coming before Congress for discussion and for solution. For years, at the head of an important journal, he had liad occasion to consider these matters, and had given earnest and profound thought to the grave topics which engaged the attention of the best think- ers in all parts of the country. He loved the Union. Gladly would he have saved it from the horrors of bitter civil strife. But when it became clear that the questions at issue must be submitted to tlie stern ai'bitra- ment of the sword, he accepted the alternative, and through all the sorrow- ful years of the civil war, he faithfully stood by the constituted autliorities and bore his part in maintaining what he believed to be a righteous cause. We cannot, in our brief sketch, present anything like a detailed account of Mr. Anthony's career in Congress. We allude only ta one or two impor- tant positions which he filled. As Avas most fitting, considering what were his antecedents, he was placed, soon after taking his seat, on the Joint Com- mittee on Public Printing, and at the beginning of Mr. Lincoln's adminis- tration was made Chairman of the Committee. With a brief interval in 1880-81, he held this position during his whole term of office in Con- gress. Early in his congressional career he was placed also on the Com- mittee on Naval Affairs, serving from 1863 to the time of his death. He was elected President pro tempore of the Senate in 1869, and again in 1871. 3 XVlll INTRODUCTION. But for cirouinstauces beyond liis control, he would have been chosen more than once again, near the close of his life, to the same high post of honor. When the Forty-eighth Congress met in December, 1883, his asso- ciates in office honored themselves, as well as one who had secm-ed the respect and atFectiou of men of all parties, by again calling him to preside over their deliberations. His knowledge of the precariousness of his health and the conviction that he was physically incapacitated from performing the duties of the President of the Senate, compelled him to decline the service to which, with such hearty good will, he had been called. It is a touching circumstance which may well be referred to as illustrating the strong and tender hold which he, now "the Father of the Senate," had upon that distinguished body, that, at the opening of Congress at the time just referred to, the organization of the body was postponed until he was able to take his seat, from which he had been debarred by ill health, and Avhen he advanced to take the customary oath on entering upon the fifth term of his Senatorial life, " the entire Senate arose and remained stand- ing during its administration." His term of service in Congress was longer than that of any other member who had been connected with the body, with the exception of Mr. Benton, who, for thirty years, represented the State of Missouri. The senatorial life of Mr. Anthony began, as has already been stated, Decem- ber 0, 1859, and was terminated by his death September 2, 1884. Reck- oning from the time when, by election, he became a Senator from Rhode Island, that is, from March 4, 1859, his term of service lacked but a day or two of being twenty-five and a half years. This sketch would be incomplete without a reference to Mr. Anthony's connection with "The Harris Collection of American Poetry," and to his personal love for poetry, of which he has given evidence in the valuable additions he made to the collection, and in the productions of his own pen. In a di'awer of one of the cases of " The Harris Collection" containing some of its rarest and costliest treasures, there has been placed for safe keeping, under lock and key, along with other valuable books, an octavo INTRODUCTION. XIX volume of twelve pages only of printed matter, and some twenty-five blank pages, to give a reasonable thickness to the book. The external dress of the volume is a rich and most attractive looking binding, in the highest style of the binder's art, the sight of which would bring joy to the biblio- phile's heart. On opening this beautiful volume, two titles meet the eye of the I'eader. These titles are separated by an explanatory, note which covers nearly a page. The first title is as follows : " The Fancy Ball. A Poem. Providence: Sidney S. Rider. 1875." A single line is on the reverse side of the leaf and reads: '-A PRIVATE REPRINT OF ONE HUNDRED COPIES." The note referred to is as follows : " These verses were written in 18.S7, and were intended to describe an entertain- ment given at the residence of Mr. Barnsley, one of the merchant princes of Savan- nah, a gentleman well remembered by the older citizens, for his courtesy, his high character and his elegant hospitality. Of those who participated in the gay and brilliant scene, the greater number must have passed away ; for the date is divided from us by more than the space of a generation, and the writer cannot, in looking over his rhymes, recall the names of half of those whose charms inspired them. "A few months since he visited the beautiful city of Savannah, which had so greatly enlarged and improved since he saw it, and he found in its new life and bustle a few grave matrons and elderly men who had danced at the ' Fancy Ball.' His pride of authorship was unduly aroused when two of them quoted more than he could from his boyish lines, which were preserved only in their memory, for there appeared to be no copy extant. From the only one within his reach he has reprinted a hundred copies, mainly that he may send them to friends who so kindly remembered him, and as a memorial of a delightful visit and of most hospitable kindness. i "No corrections have been made from the original edition, althougli the errors of style and composition will be evident to the most careless reader. To alter the verses would be, in some sort, to endorse at mature age an effusion whose apology is that it was written by a very inexperienced pen immediately after the occasion which it commemorates, while the music was still ringing In the writer's ears, and the dazzle of the brilliant scene had hardly passed from before his eyes ; and with the certainty that it would meet only the kindly criticism which gives its full approval in advance. "HENRY B. ANTHONY. "Providence, June, 1875." XX INTRODUCTION. The second title, the original one, roads thus : "The Fancy Ball. A Sketch. Printed for Private Circulation. Pulaski House, Savannah, March 31. 1838." Our space allows us to present only the introductory and closing lines of the poem : ' As floats tlie fancies of a gorgeous dream That vanished with the morning's earliest beam ; As haunts the ear some half-remembered strain It once hath heard, and seems to hear again ; As flowers whose beauty and whose bloom hath tied, Each bright leaf withered and each green one dead, A grateful, an undying fragrance bear. To tell what blushing beauty once was there ; — So turns my memory to that brilliant sight When wit and beauty held their festal night ; When thronged hall its glittering groups displayed Of Nature's loveliness, by art arrayed ; Of graceful forms that mocked the sculptor's art. And eyes whose glances reached the coldest heart. Of all that beauty loves or taste admires, Of all that valor warms or genius fires." The Avriter then goes on to give a "pen-picture" of the charming tab- leaux which passed before his eye. What gives added interest to the volume, which is in " The Harris Collection," is the circumstance that a Savannah lady, Avho was present on the occasion, sent, in response to a request of Mr. Anthony, the names of all the characters he describes in his poem, and these names are inserted in the margins of its pages. After describing with graceful pen the brilliant scenes of the festive evening, a pensive 'aood comes over the writer's mind, and he thus brings his poetic production to a close : INTRODUCTION. xxi "Alas! alas!- this week-day, work-day life! That all that's brighest, all that's noblest, best, All that consoles us for its weary strife, And all that gives to time it's little zest, Should be. at most, but fancy's transient beam. Fade in a tableau, vanish in a dream! " The only other poems of Mr. Anthony's that were put into book form were three in number. They were published with the following titles : "The Dorriad, the Hero of Two Flights," the first of the three; "The Attack on the Arsenal," the second, and "The Chepachet Campaign," the third. It is hardly necessary to say that these " squibs," as Mr. Anthony calls them, allude to incidents which occurred in what is known in Rhode Island history as " The Dorr Rebellion," in 1842. Senator Anthony died at his residence, Benevolent street, Providence, R. I., at fifteen minutes before two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, Septem- ber 2, 1884, at the age of sixty-nine years, five months and one day. His fvmeral was honored by the presence of President Arthur and a large inim- ber of United States Senators, and other gentlemen from Washington, with many distinguished friends of the deceased, who were present to give tes- timony to their sincere respect and affection for the departed. In bringing this Introduction to a close, the compiler of the Catalogue of " The Harris Collection of American Poetry" desires to place on record his grateful appreciation of the kindly interest which has been expressed by so many persons in the work which has engaged his attention for so many months. These expressions have come to him not only from almost every section of his own country, Init from England as well, whose poets and lovers of poetry will l)e gratified to note what share America has had in enriching a most important department of our common English litera- ture. The hope is cherished that l)oth at home and abroad there may be a laudable curiosity whicji the pages of this goodly-sized volume will grat- XXll INTRODUCTION. ify, to know, witli a good degree of definiteness, ■what are the contents of a library so remarkable and so altogether unique as has, by the munificence of the late Senator Anthony, found a permanent home in the beautiful Library Building of Brown University. One sad thouglit is awakened in the mind of the compiler as he brings his pleasant task to an end ; and that is, that the friend who more than all others encouraged him to undertake this work, and has been ever ready to cheer him in its prosecution, shares not with him the joy of its com- pletion. The pleasant hovirs passed with that friend in the common enjoy- ment of the priceless treasures of the John Carter Brown Library, and in delightful talks about rare and costly books, will ever keep green and fresh in Iiis memory the name and the virtues of one who took so high a rank among our most distinguished American Bibliographers, the Hon. John Russell Bartlett. J. C. STOCKBRIDGE. Brown University Library, Room of the Harris Collection of American Poetry, June 30, 1886. CATALOGUE. Abadie (P.) The Fireman, etc. 16°, pp. 130.

John Adams, only son of Hon. John Adams, of Nova Scotia, was born in 1704, grad- uated at Harvard in 1721, and subsequently was settled as an assistant, contrary to the wishes of Rev. Nathaniel Clapp, pastor of the First Congregational Church in Newport, R. I. After a while Mr. Clapp refused to permit Mr. Adams to preach, himself conducting the services of the church both parts of the day. As a consequence nearly one-half of the church and congregation withdrew. A new church was formed, of which Mr. Adams was ordained pastor April 11, 1828, remaining not far from two years. He removed to Cam- bridge, where he devoted himself to literary pursuits. He had a well deserved reputation as an eloquent preacher and an accomplished linguist, being, as described by his uncle, Matthew Adams, " master of nine languages," and was " familiar with the best writings in ancient and modern literature." He died in 1740, at the early age of thirty-six. It is said that the Fellows of Harvard College were his pall-bearers, and the most distinguished persons of the State were mourners at his funeral. Five years after his death his poems were collected and published with the following title : — Poems on Several Occasions, Original and Translated, by the late Reverend and Learned John Adams, M. A.

" Nineteen and youthful enthusiasm," he says, "are the only confessions I can make to the critic, whose breast may swell with indignation at the faults of the poem." The general argument of the poem is this, viz. : " Our structure of happiness is alone built on the moral tendency of our actions; and virtue is the only basis which can support it." Agg, (J.) John Agg was an English poet and novelist, whose productions were issued from the London press, 1808-13. He came to the United States not far from the year 1S16. A large part of the Preface to the volume, whose title is here given, is taken up with " Some Obser- vations respecting the Causes of the Increasing Emigration from England to America." The author is enthusiastic in his praises of his adopted home. "Striking, indeed, is the contrast " between England and America. " The glory of Britain," he exclaims, " has passed its meridian, and shapes a declining course; the sun of Columbia majestically rises above the political horizon, and distant nations mark its increasing splendor with envy and apprehension.

In 1836, Dr. A. removed to Fredericton, N. S., where he spent the remaining years of his life. The sub- ject of this sketch studied law, but did not devote liimself to the practice of his profession, preferring " the thorny path of literature." The personal appearance of Mr. Allan is described as having been unusually prepossessing. " In stature he stood six feet three inches, at the least; his features classical, sufficiently regular, manly and intelligent; his dark eye sparkled with wit and good humour, and when he wore his beard and mous- tache, he might have sat as a Cavalier to Vandyk." His life was a brief one. He had sent the manuscript of a poem which he had written to England for publication, but before it was printed he had passed away, at the early age of twenty-three.

The poem is founded on the supposition that in the ninth century a Norwegian Chief colonized a section of country near the junction of the Ohio and the Mississippi rivers. — Escalala: An American Tale. 12°, pp. vi, 109.

" The most of her poems," says Professor Tyler, " were produced between 1630 and 1642, that is, before she was thirty years old; and during these years she had neither leisure, nor elegant surroundings, nor freedom from anxious thoughts, nor even abounding health. Somehow, during her busy life-time, she contrived to put upon record compositions numerous enough to till a royal octavo volume of four hundred pages, — compositions which entice and reward our reading of them two hundred years after she lived."

After visiting many for- eign ports, he settled for a time on an estate in Antigua, W. I., where he became an over- seer on two or three plantations in succession, remaining upwards of two years, and being occupied in various ways for two more years. The condition of the slaves awakened his sympathy, and led him to decide that he would never again become an overseer on a West India plantation. At the age of not far from thirty he came to the United States. He warmly espoused the anti-slavery cause, and with pen and voice did everything in his power to overthrow the system. — Avenia ; or, A Tragical Poem on the Oppression of the Human Species and Infringement on the Rights of Man.

But," he adds, " the bitter winter of adversity destroyed the flatter- ing illusion, and the discipline of experience has chastened his vanity, and convinced him of his weakness."

His father, John Nicholas Genin, a native of Labeurville, in the Diocese of Verdun, France, came to the United States in 1780, and was a cleric in the commissary department of General Rochambcau's army. His first wife lived but a short time after marriage. His second wife was Sarah Hedges, of East Hampton, L. I., to whom it may literally be said that he " looked up," as she was a lady six feet and one inch in height, three inches taller than her husband, " and was well proportioned and straight as an arrow." The son, without the training of a college course, studied law and made such pro- gress that at the age of twenty he was admitted to the bar in New York, and having mar- ried, took up his residence at St. Clairrille, Ohio, in 1S17, and entered upon the practice of his profession. At once he became an earnest, outspoken opponent of slavery, and hence- forth his life was consecrated to the cause which he had so warmly espoused. He was also a vigorous advocate of protection as against free trade, of reform in postal laws, of railroads, etc. Reference will be made to his poetical wi-itings in a note under the next title. — Selections from the Writings of the late Thomas Hedges Genin, with a Biographical Sketch.

Y., / September 30, 1871. \ Deak Sik : — Last June I sent a copy to Rhode Island State Library. John R. Bart- lett, Esq., Secretary of State, acknowledged its receipt and suggested to " send a copy of this volume to Hon. C. F. Harris, of I'rovidence, R. I., in whose collection it would seem very appropriate, as Sir. H. has the largest collection of the writings of American Poets of any one in the United States." Accordingly it gives me great pleasure in presenting this volume to add to your collection. The Napolead was written before my uncle, T. H. G., was 21. The likeness in front of Napolead is from an oil painting taken at that time. The first 5 Cantos of the Napolead were handed to De Witt Clinton for his opinion as to whether the young author should complete it. He strongly urged him on. A warm friendship always existed between them. Yours respectfully, John N. Genin. 16 100 HARRIS COLLECTION. Genin, (T. H.) — Continued. — The Fatal Disunion.

It could hardly be expected that Cotton Mather, who, in those early colonial times, touched life on so many sides, would fail to turn his thoughts to so important a matter as "the service of song, in the House of the Lord." His laudable aim in this book is to improve what he regarded as the careless, untrustworthy translation of the I'salms then current, and produce something that should bear a closer resemblance to the original. In this version we do not have lines beginning with capitals, whether they do or do not rhyme, but the entire matter is "run out," the proper syllabization to suit the metre being made by upright parallel lines. Mather says : " Our Poetry has attempted many editions of the Psalms in such Kmnhers and Measures as might render them capable of being Sung in those grave Tunes which have been prepared and received for our Christian Psalmody, But of all the more than twice Seven Versions which I have seen, it must be affirmed. That they leave out a vast he.ap of those rich things which the Holy Spirit of God Speaks in the AMERICAN POETRY. 165 Mather, (C.) — Continued. Original Hebrew ; and that they j^Jit in as large an Heap of poor Things wliich are entirely their own. All this has been meerly for the sake of preserving the ClinJ: of the Ithime : Which after all is of small consequence unto a Generous Poem, and of none at all unto the Melody of Singing ; But of how little then, in Singing unto the Lord ! " An illustration of tlie way in which the "Psalteriuni" was prepared is taken from I'salm LI. By omit- ting the words in BLACK LETTER, the verse is adapted to another metre. "The Director of the Psalmody need only say 'Sing with the BLACK LETTER, or sing with- out the BLACK LETTER,' and the tune will be sufflciently directed." 9. From the beholding of my Sins || [kindly] hide thou away thy face ; || and all of my Iniquities || [-wliolly] do thou obliterate. 10. O God, Create in mean heart || that shall be [judged] thoroughly clean; || and in the midst of me do thou || renew a Spirit right [and firm]. Mather, (S.) Samuel Mather, a son of Cotton Mather, was born in 1706, graduated at Harvard in 172.3, for ten years was colleague pastor with Rev. Mr. Gee in the Old North Church, Bos- ton, and then of a colony which withdrew from that church. He died in 1785. Professor Tyler says of him : " He left no successor to continue the once splendid dynasty of his tribe. He was the last and the least of the Mathers." — An attempt to show, that America must be (have been?) known to the Ancients ; made at the request, and to gratiliy the curiosity, of an inquisitive gentleman. To wliich is added an Appendix con- cerning the American colonies, and some modern managements against them. By an American Englishman, Pastor of a church in Boston, New England. 8°, pp. 35, 1773. A very rare and curious volume, so rare that Rich, the celebrated bibliographer, had never seen a copy, but refers to the catalogue of Harvard College Library. There is a copy in the John Carter Brown Library, also one in the Library of Bowdoin College, and two copies in the Library of the Massachusetts Historical Society. Thomas, in his History of Printing, vol. i, p. 20, says; This is " a work of equal learning and patriotism. It maintains that the posterity of Japhet by Magog were the priiiuiry inhabitants of America, a warlike people, well qualified to make those Ancient Encampments which have been discovered at the West." The claim of this book to be in a "Collection of American Poetry" is found in the circumstance that there are in it two or three poetical quotations. — The Sacred Minister.

Urian O.akes, the fourth President of Harvard College, was born in England about the year 1631, was brought to America when a child by his parents, graduated at Harvard in 1649, returned to England, and for some time was a preaclier there, under the Protectorate, having charge of the living of Titchfield, Hampshire. This position he held till the Resto- ration of Charles II, when he was compelled to give up his parish. In 1671 he came back to this country, and was called to the pastorate of the church in Cambridge. Mass. Hav- ing been elected President of Harvard, he entered upon the duties of his office April 7, 1675, still retaining his connection with the church in Cambridge. He died July 25, 1681. (See " Sibley's Harvard Graduates," vol. i, pp. 173-185.) — An Elegy upon the Death of the Reverend Mr. Thomas Shepard, late Teacher of the Church at Charlestown, in New England, etc. Lg. 16°, pp. 16. Cambridge, printed by Samuel Green, 1677. The copy in " The Harris Collection " is Xo. 835 of the Brinley sale, and was pur- chased for $57.50, is in every respect perfect, and bound in the highest style of the bind- er's art. President Oakes held a high place in the regards of his cotemporaries. Professor Tyler says of him : " He was distinguished in his day for the unsurpassed elegance and fluency of his Latin; and with respect to his English, it is, perhaps, the richest prose style; it furnishes the most brilliant examples of originality, breadth and force of thought, set aglow by flame of passion, by flame of imagination, to be met with in our sermon-liter- ature from the settlement of our country down to the Revolution." He adds that " the one example that is left to us of his verse, reaches the highest point touched by American poetry during the same era. It was within a few days after the death of 'Mr. Shepard' that Oakes published his elegy, a poem in fifty-two six-lined stanzas; not without some mechanical defects; blurred also by some patches of the prevailing theological jargon; yet upon the whole, affluent, stately, pathetic; beautiful and strong with the beauty and strength of true imaginative vision." Dr. Abiel Holmes says : " This elegy of considerable length .... rises, in my judgment, far above the poetry of the day. It is of Pindaric measure, and is plaintive, pathetic and replete with imagery." This is high praise, but if the Harvard President be judged by the poetic standard of those early Puritan days, probably it is not exaggerated. Oakley, (J.) Our Village. Delivered at Flatbush, N.

" The writings of Pickering," says Duyckinck, " take occasionally a sombre tint from the circumstances wliicli shaded the later years of his life, altliough his natural tempera- ment was cheerful. He was a lover of the beautiful as well in art as in nature, and he numbered among his friends the most eminent poets and artists of our country." The fol- lowing is found in a graceful tribute whicli was paid to his memory in the Salem Gazette in May, 1S38: " Witli a highly cultivated and tasteful mind he imparted pleasant instruc- tion to all who held intercourse witli liim, while his unobtrusive manners silently forced tliemselves on the all'ections anil won the hearts of all who enjoyed his society." — Atliens, and otlier Poems. 8°, pp. 84. Salem, 1824. Tills poem was suggested by tlie writer's seeing a panorama of Atliens, painted by Jlessrs. Barker & Burford, of London, and after " having been the object of admiration in England " for a year, was purchased by Theodore Lyman, with the intention of present- ing it to Jlarvard University. " It will readily be perceived," says Mr. Pickering, "that my little performance is a mere pauoramic sh-etcJi, not a tinished picture; which, indeed, I sliould in vain have attempted. Still less can I flatter myself that I have been able to identify my own feelings with those of the fortunate man who has actually traced the banks of the Illissus and its sister stream, or who has knelt within tlie sacred precincts of the Parthenon." In the notes, which occupy pp. 09-84, the author has brought together many interesting facts to explain and illustrate his text. In a note on the Parthenon, he gives expression to a hope which, although mr)re tlian sixty years have passed away since it was uttered, has not yet been realized, and it is doubtful if it ever will be. " If the Greeks, in spite of the frowns of power and the apathy of mankind, should be able to achieve their inde- pendence " — (that hypothesis has become fact) — "one of the early acts of their govern- ment should be to decree the restoration of the Parthenon. I do not mean that they should begin to labor upon it in that state of exhaustion in which they must be left after their sanguinary but glorious struggle; yet I should liope that tlie project would be kept steadily in view. It is to be presumed, that in this event, the British Parliament would send back the sculptures of Phidias, and that the King of France would follow the laud- able example. Every block should be replaced. The inscription (as translated) may then read thus : ERECTED BY PERICLES nEFACED AND VIOI-ATED BY THE BARBARIANS RESTORED BY THE PEOPLE OF GREECE. If the compiler may venture to refer to his own feelings, he would say that some years since, on returning from a visit to Athens, as he was wandering through the British Museum he saw one of the Caryatides which had been taken from its place on the Acrop- olis and transported to England. He could not help saying to himself : "This statue has no right to be here; it ought to be sent biick to Athens and set up in the place which for so many centuries it occupied." He remembers when sitting on a prostrate column of the famous Temple of .Jupiter, a little beyond the eastern base of the Acropolis, and not far from the Arch of Hadrian, that he was told that an enterprising Yankee had quite seriously thought of trying to buy that column and transporting it to New Y'ork! In one of his notes Pickering says: " A Frenchman, some years since, conceived the thought of transporting the Temple of Theseus to France; what infatuation! Yet an idea AMERICAN POETRY. 201 PiCKKRiNG, (H.) — Continued. of tliis kind was not new. We are told that an Earl of Bristol, in the hist CQntury ' seriously meditated the removal of the beautiful little Temple of the Sybil at Tivoli in order that he might place it in his own pi\rk ! He was only restrained from committing the outrage by an absolute prohibition of His Holiness." It is thus that the poet apostro- phises the sacreligious Frenchman : " Thou phrensied Gaul ! Could'st thou the thought endure To -wrest this dear relict from the soil, To plant it impious on a foreign strand? Shade of immortal Theseus, arise! In dreadful majesty appear once more And palsy with benumbing fear what hand Shall sacreligious dare attempt the deed! " — Paestiun. Ruins of. (Anon.) 4°, pp. 128.

Bostoni, Massachusettensium : Typis J. Orceii if- J. Rus- sell, 17()1. -1°, })p. Dedication to the King, xiv. Text 106. This volume in Latin, Greek and English, and containing tliirty-one pieces, exclusive 01' tlie " dedication to tlie King," was designed to celebrate the death of George II. and the accession of George III. The "dedication" was composed by Governor Bernard or Lieutenant Governor Hutchinson. Tlie poems were prepared in response to an invitation sent to Harvard College, (or which prizes were oftered. " Under these circumstances," as Duyclvinck well says ("Cyclopaedia American Literature," vol. i, p. 11,), " the inevitable condition of such a work is eulogy; so the departing guest is sped, and the coming wel- comed in the most rapturous figments of poetry. George II is elevated to the apotheosis in the skies, in the long echoing wave of the exulting hexameter, ■while the ebbing flood of feeling at so mournful an exaltation is couched in the subdued expression of the sink- ing pentameter. All nature is called upon to weep, and again to rejoice; all hearts to bleed, and again to live as one royal monarch ascends tlie skies and another the throne." Four pages of the " Jlonthly Review " [London], for .July, 170.3, are devoted to'anotice of this volume. Tlie writer says : " A poetical offering from a college in America, and the first of the kind that a King of Great Britain has received trom his Colonies, must be esteemed a curiosity." He then proceeds to make quotations, speaking of the 'address' to the King as ' very judiciously and elegantly drawn up.'" The following are the con- cluding words of this notice : " It must be acknowledged that this New England Collec- tion, like other public ofl'erings of the same kind, contains some indifferent performances; but these, though they cannot be well excused when tliey come from ancient and estab- lished seats of learning, may at least be connived at here; and what we could not endure from an illustrious University, we can pardon in au infant Seminary." The " infant Sem- inary," of which this writer so patronizingly speaks, had, when he wrote'the above, been in existence one hundred and twenty-seven years!

John Searson was born in Ireland, not far from 1750, was educated by his uncle, a clergyman of the Church of England, came to this country and took up his residence in Philadelphia, where he engaged in mercantile pursuits. Before leaving Ireland he pub- lished two volumes. In the dedication of his " Mount Vernon" to George Washington, he says : "I did myself the honor to visit your Excellency 15th May last, so as to obtain an adequate idea of Mount Vernon ; wishing to compose a poem on that beautiful seat, which I now most humbly dedicate to your Excellency." Mr. Searson seems to regard himself as competent to carry out the plan which he has proposed to himself. In the preface to the readers of " Mount Vernon," lie alludes to the visit referred to, which, he says, he made " so as to enable me to make an exact poetical description of it. I am," he adds, " fond of vural, descriptive poetry, and have endeavored to make this as pleasing and exact as p ssible." And, lest some envious critical persons might call in question his claims to the regards of the American people, he gives an item of his personal experience. " I published," he says, " a rural, romantic and descriptive poem on Down-Hill, the seat of the Earl of Bristol, Bishop of Londonderry, in Ireland, for which the gentlemen of that country actually gave me a guinea a copy, and Sir George Hill, from Dublin, gave me five guineas in the city of Londonderry." Unfortunately for our estimate of the intrinsic value of this poem, judged by the generous sum paid for it, he tells us that Sir George gave him " more, I am assured, as feeling from my having seen better days than from the intrinsic value of it."

That the author had some reasonable ground for his suspicions about the real value of his poetical elfusions, is judged by the perusal of the following lines on the first page of this poem : " 'Tis through romantic scenes we here may go Not scar'd with fear nor frighten'd with a foe; Mount Vernon, I have often heard of thee, And often wish'd thy beauties for to see. Pleas'd to the last, I view this pleasant seat. And found its views elegant and neat; The prospect from it must e'er please the mind, When elegant Potowmack here we find.

His parents dying when he was young, he was adopted by his uncle. Chief Justice Sewell, of Massachusetts. Duyckinck says he passed through Harvard, but his name does not appear in the General Catalogue. For a time he engaged in mercantile pursuits, and then studied law, and for a few years was Register of Probate for Grafton county, N. H. Subsequently he removed to Portsmouth, X. H., where he died March 29, 1808. The poems referred to below were, for the most part, the productions of his youth. They are paraphrases of Ossian, patriotic odes, epilogues, and a few epigrams. One of his songs, " War and Washington," was composed at the beginning of the American Revolution, and was very popular. Two lines of his from the " Epilogue to Cato " are familiar.

His father, Nathan Shelton, was a highly esteemed physician of Jamaica. The subject of this sketch graduated at the College of New Jersey in 1834. Being inclined to literary pursuits, rather than to the duties of professional life, he spent much of his time for a few years in his home, in reading and writing for the periodicals of the day, espe- cially the " Knickerbocker Magazine." In 1847 he was ordained as a minister of the Epis- copal church, and after preaching to parishes on Long Island, in 1854, became Rector of a churcli at Montpelier. His life as a clergyman of country parishes aiforded him themes for not a few humorous sketches which were the pi-oductions of his busy pen. Among his works are " The Rector of St. Bardolph's; or, Superannuated; " "Peeps from a Belfry ; or, The Parish Sketch Book." His " Up the River," being a series of rural sketches, is referred to as " an exceedingly pleasant book in its tasteful, truthful observations of nature and animal life, and the incidents of the country, interspersed with occasional criticisms of favorite books, and invigorated throughout by the individual humors of the narrator."

No source of information to which he has access sets it down as the produc- tion of the pen of the distinguished poet of the South.

Nathaniel Ward was born at Haverhill, Suffolk, England, in 1570, graduated at Em- manuel College, England, in 1003, studied law and practiced seven years. After a few years' travel on the Continent he returned to England, took orders in the Established Church, and, for a time, was Rector of Stondon Massey, Essex, but was finally silenced by Archbishop Laud in 1033, and came to America in 1034. " Perhaps," says Prof. M. C. Tyler, " no other Englisliman who came to America in those days brought with him more of the ripeness that is born, not only of time and study, but of distinguished early asso- ciations, extensive travel in foreign lands, and varied professional experience at home." Not long after his arrival in Massachusetts, he was invited to become the minister to the churcli in Ipswich, in a section of the State \vliich bore the Indian name of Agawara. Here he remained two or three years and then resigned on account of failing health. For a few years more he made liimself useful to the infant colony in various ways, his legal education fitting him to render good service in preparing a code of laws. (See " Massa- chusetts Historical Society Collection," Third Series, viii, 191.) In 1047 he returned to England, and in 1048 became Rector of a parish at Shenfteld, Essex, retaining this posi- tion till his death in 1053. — Mercurius Anti-mechanicus \ Or The | Simple Coblers | Body | With his Lap-full of Ca?;ea<.s (or Take \ heeds), Documents, Advertise- ments and Prce | monitions to all his honest felloio-trades \ men- Preachers | but more especially a dozen of them, in or about | the City of London.

London^ Printed for Jolin Walker^ at the sign of the Starre in Popes-head alley. 1648. Nathaniel is a Hebrew word, tlie Greek translation of which is Theodorus, or, in Eng- lish, Theodore. The French of Ward is de la Guarden. Hence the nom de plume, Theo- dore de la Guarden, or Nathaniel Ward. We have included this small 4° volume of 52 pages in the " Collection," because its author lived long enough in America to be regarded as a citizen of Massachusetts. While most of the volume is prose, there are a few poetical productions in it. The volume when it came into the hands of some previous owner wanted pp. .33-36. These four pages have been supplied, by copy, the work having been executed on thin glazed cloth, and so well done that it is not easy to tell whether it is printed or written, probably the latter. The work is rare, and in its way exceedingly quaint and curious. Believing in the necessity of regular ordination to qualify a man to become a preacher, it vexed the pious soul of worthy Mr. Ward that all sorts of persons took it upon themselves to be expounders of the Word, and preachers of the gospel. He proposes, therefore, to take to task sundry tradesmen and craftsmen who set themselves up as evangelists, and gives his ghostly exhortations to the " Handicraft Preachers, especially these 12 that follow, who are, or have been in and about the City of London," viz. : The Confectioner; The Smith; The Eight and Left Shoe- Maker; The Needless Tailor from his working im(posture); The Saddler; The Porter; The Labyrinthian Box-maker; The All-be-Smearing Soap-boiler, or the Sleepy Sopor; The Both-handed Glover; The White-handed Mealman; The Chicken-man; and, The Button-maker. Our limits forbid our giving but a single extract from this singular and most witty pro- duction of Nathaniel Ward. We select from the exhortation to the " The Studding Sad- dler." " Saddle me this Querie. When was the taijle mistaken for the reines, the saddle thrust under the belly, and the rider's head shut up in a sachel-bag (by Hada-Lwist and Shall-I-wink) to travel] to Horse- head-down t Tlie Horsetaile or conclusion.

The above is the title of a remarkable book; a small 4°. " To the Reader," one leaf. Text, pp. 5-59, largely prose. A few poetical productions in the volume. Professor Tyler, in his " History of American Literature," vol. 1, pp. 229-40, has given an admirable notice of this work, with copious extracts from the same. In the " Monthly Anthology" for May, 1809, there is an article on Ward written by Dr. J. G. Cogswell, who says : " For some time after its publication it was so much read and admired that four editions of it were printed in London within a few years. But when its style became obso- lete, its allusions unknown, and the subjects of which it treats less interesting, it laid neg- lected on the shelves, the dust was suffered to gather upon its leaves, and it has now long been noticed only by those whose reverence for every American relict may have led them to examine its contents." That Dr. Cogswell did not speak amiss when he referred to the style as being in some parts, at least, of the volume " obsolete," is evident from the following with regard to which Professor Tyler says : " He will be a bold man who can affirm at sight in what language this sentence is written, or what it means" : " If the whole conclave of hell can so compromise exadvarse and diametrical contradictions as to com- politize such a multimonstrous manfrey of heteroclites and quic(iuilibets quality, I trust I may say with all humble reverence, they can do more than the Senate of heaven." The address to King Charles I., whom he arraigns as the cause of the fearful state of affairs in England, is bitter to the verge of absolute ferocity. It is too long to quote. As if writing from his Agawam home in the new world, the Cobbler says : " So farewell England old, If evil times ensue. Let good men come to us, Wee'l welcome them to New. 41 300 HAKKIS COLLECTION.

Fiat jiistitia ruat ccelum, " let justice be done though the heavens fall," originated with Lord Mansfield, who used them in the celebrated case of The King vs. Wilkes, 1768. The expression, however, is found on p. 13 of this volume, thus antedating, by twenty-one years. Lord Mansfield's use of it. Ward, (S). Samuel AVard, a son of Samuel W., an eminent merchant of New York, and descended from a distinguished Rhode Island ancestry, at the head of which was Roger Williams, was born at New York in January, 1813. His grandfather, Lieutenant Colonel Ward, of Revolutionary fame, having, in 181G, removed to Long Island, the subject of this sketch was an inmate of his family while pursuing his studies preparatory to entering college. Subsequently he became a pupil of Dr. Cogswell and George Bancroft at the Round Hill School at Northampton, Mass., and graduated at Columbia College, New York, in 1831. Several of his classmates became eminent in their professions. Among them were Rev. Dr. W. E. Eigenbrodt, of the General '];iieological Seminary, N. Y. ; President Robert Emory, D. D., of Dickinson College, 1842-48; Hon. J. L. O'Sullivan, United States Minister to Por- tugal; Rev. Dr. R. G. Vermilye, of the Theological Institute, Conn., and Professor Robert Watts, Professor of Anatomy, College of Physicians and Surgery, New York. After grad- uating, Mr. Ward went abroad to complete his studies, and spent several years in Germany. He was a man of most versatile powers and talents, speaking several languages so cor- rectly as to be mistaken for a native of other countries than his own. In subsequent years, as a man of letters, and as the friend of literary men, statesmen and artists, he had a warm plnce in the hearts of a large circle of acquaintances. His death, the result of a severe attack of malarial disease contracted during a short stay in Naples, occurred at Pegli, Italy, May 19, 1884. Mr. Ward was a brother of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe. — Lyrical Recreations. 16°, pp. xvi, 271. New York, 1865. The Introduction is in the form of a letter to Samuel L. M. Barlow. The writer says : " When a bachelor overripe takes to himself a wife in the bud, he is apt to imagine that he owes his friends some explanations. It is the privilege of youth to woo Euterpe, and my hair is gray. Qui s'excuse s'accuse, I know, but when the accusation is sure to come, the excuse may as well get the start of it; and turning rhynister as I do on the wrong side of half a century, I venture to entreat you, who bear all burdens lightly, to circulate my apologia amony those who may care to hear it." — Same. 16°, pp. xii, 247. London, 1883. Some of the poems in the first series are not reprinted in this, and there are numerous additions in the second series, some of them in French. Special interest is attached to this volume, it being a presentation copy from the author to Senator Anthony, and it is said to have been the last book whose pages were turned over by him prior to his decease.

This poem is founded upon what is known as "the old story of the frogs of Windham, Conn." The frogs referred to had a pitched battle for the possession of the water remain- ing in a ditch, which, in a time of drought, had become nearly dry. The event occurred on a dark night in July, 1758, and the people were greatly alarmed by the hideous outcries of the belligerents. The account given by the Rev. Samuel Peters, in his "General History of Connecticut," is a fine illustration of the Munchausen style of writing : "One night in July, 1758, the frogs of an artiticial pond three miles square" (really never a fourth of a mile in extent), " and about five miles from Windham " (about one mile), finding the water dried up left the place in a body and marched or rather hopped towards Winnomantic river. They were under the necessity of taking the road and going through the town, which they entered about midnight. The bull-frogs were the leaders and the pipers followed without number. Then filled a road forty rjurds tvide for four miles in length, and %uerefor several honrsHn passing through the town tmnsiially clamor- ous. The inhabitants were equally perplexed and frightened ; some expected to find an army of French and Indians; others feared an earthquake and dissolution of nature. The 304 HARRIS COLLECTION. Weaver, (W. L.) — Continued. consternation was universal. Old and young, male and female, fled naked from their beds with more shrieking tlian those of the frogs. The event was fatal to several women. The men, after a tlight of half a mile, in which they met with many broken shins, finding no enemies in pursuit of them made a halt and summoned resolution enough to venture back to their wives and children, when they distinctly heard from the enemy's camp these words, Wiijht, Hilderkcn, Dier Tetii. This lust they tliought meant treaty, and plucking up courage they sent a triumvirate to capitulate with the supposed French and Indians. These three men approached in their shirts and begged to speak with the General, but it being dark and no answer given they were sorely agitated for some time betwixt hope and fear; at length, however, they discovered that the dreaded inimical army was an army of thirsty frogs going to the river for a little water." This volume contains three poems. 1. The Frogs of Wimlham, an old Colomj talefotmded on facts. This ballad, founded on Peters' account of the affair, appeared originally in the Providence Gazette. 2. Bull Frog Song, originaUy entitled " Lawyers and Jiull Frogs." A more ancient copy of this ballad had the following title : "A true relation of a strange battle between some Lawyers and Bull Frogs, set forth in a new song, written by a jolly farmer of New England." 3. The Bull-Frog Fight; a Ballad of the old time. The end of the fight is thus described : ' " The courage of the Windham men Now rose exceeding high ; And so they blazed away till dawn Lit up the eastern sky.

Walter, or Walt Wlntnian, was born at West Hills, N. Y., in 1819, and has occupied various positions,— printer, school teacher, editor, a clerk in the Department of the Inte- rior at AVashington, etc. The most opposite opinions prevail with regard to the poems of Whitman. W. D. O'Connor, of New York, " boldly pits Walt Whitman not only against all the poets of the day, but demands for him place and rank beside the great masters, ^Eschylus, Homer, Dante and Shakspcare. He proclaims him the inspired bard and prophet of his era and land." On the other hand, Allibone says : " Public opinion says that any man in England who might issue such senseless trash as Walt Whitman's poems, would be considered a proper inmate for an asylum." — After All, not to Create Only.

"With nearly all sensitiveness to literary form torpid in New England, and with devout feeling warm and alert, it is not strange that this clumsy but sympathetic poem should have found there a multitude of admirers. It was first publislied probably in 1669; ten years afterwards it bad passed through at least four editions ; and daring the entire Colo- nial age it was a much-read manual of solace in affliction. And, indeed, it is such poetry as might still serve that purpose, at least by plucking from the memory a rooted sorrow, and substituting a literary anguish in place of it." — The Day of Doom. 6th Edition. 18°, pp. 82.

He removed to Peronne in boyhood, and lived until he was seventeen with an aunt who kept a small inn in that place. Here he learned the printer's trade. Hi ]7'.»7 he returned to Paris, wliere, for many years, ho had a hard struggle with poverty. In 180H lie was kindly aided by Lucien Bonaparte, and, after various fortunes, obtained a clerkship in the Uni- versity of Paris. He now devoted himself much to literary pursuits, especially to the writing of songs. His political sentiments, boldly published in his poems, brought him into collision with the government, and more than once he was fined and imprisoned. This treatment made him the idol oftlie people, and his works were exceedingly popular. His election to the National Assembly, by the electors of the Department of the Seine, was an evidence of the high esteem in which he was held. In the later years of his life he resided in Passy.
