Excerpt from Vest-Pocket Series of Standard and Popular Authors: Library of Congress; United States of America

Belshazzar is King, will long keep his memory green. Who that ever came habitually into his presence can forget'the tones of his voice, the ten derness in his gray retrospective eyes, or the touch of his sympathetic hand laid on the shoulder of a friend! The elements were indeed so kindly miyed in him that no bitterness or rancor or jealousy had part or lot in his composition. No distin guished person was ever more ready to help for ward the rising and as yet nameless literary man or woman who asked his counsel and warm-hearted suffrage. His mere presence was sunshine to a new-comer into the world of letters and criticism, for he was always quick to encourage, and slow to disparage anybody. Indeed, to be lzumcm onlv en titled any one who came near him to receive the gracious bounty of his goodness and courtesy. He made it the happiness of his life never to miss, whenever opportunity occurred, the chance of con ferring pleasure and gladness on those who needed kind words and substantial aid.

Rese�a del editor

Excerpt from Vest-Pocket Series of Standard and Popular Authors: Library of Congress; United States of America

I first saw the poet five-and-twenty years ago, in his own house in London, at No. 13 Upper Harley Street, Cavendish Square. He was then declining into the vale of years, but his mind was still vigorous and young. My letter of introduction to him was written by Charles Sumner, and it proved sufficient for the beginning of a friendship which existed through a quarter of a century. My last interview with him occurred in 1869. I found him then quite feeble, but full of his old kindness and geniality. His speech was somewhat difficult to follow, for he had been slightly paralyzed not long before; but after listening to him for half an hour it was easy to understand nearly every word he uttered. He spoke with warm feeling of Longfellow, who had been in London during that season, and had called to see his venerable friend before proceeding to the Continent.
