The most; original, no less, than the most
elaborate and exhaustive of these essays, is
the initial essay upon Dante; but the paper
succeeding it, on Spencer, is, to our taste,
the more charming of the two,; in some
respects, indeed, the masterpiece of the en
tire volume. ' . ' 4 ' ; .
Lowell's own rich, delicate imagination,
and fine sense of rythmic grace, harmony
and beauty, especially; enable him to ap-
preciate the noble subtleties of Spencer's
muse to follow the creator of ""The Fairy

Lowell remarks "No German analyser of

verses. 'To reign in the air' was certainly
Spencer's function. And yet the commen
tators, who seem never willing to let their
poet be a poet pure and simple, though
had he not been so they would have lost
their only bold upon life try to make out
from 'Mother Hubbard's Tale' that he
might have been a very sensible, matte r-of
fact man if he would. For' my own part.

We have extracted ibis paragraph as
characteristic of its author's style, of the
singular felicity with which he j turns his
phrases making an? inherently bright
fancy, simile, or illustration, brighter still
by the rarest appropiiateness of expresr
sion.. f.i.v;;- -7: . :; : -.; j.'.-, j J
Unconsciously repeating Leigh JIunt,
Lowell says of Spencei's CTces allegorized,
that "he has made them so . beautiful, we
should not be very much afraid of them
if we chanced to meet them; ; for who can
escape from the Poet's genius, which, if it
led him as a. Philosopher to the abstract
contemplation of the Beautiful, left him as
ft poet open to every "impression of sensu
ous delight" j - ; !, ".- i ! j ..;
We are amused by an idiosyecracy of
the ciitic, who must needs maintain that
Spencer was a Puritan! ''When he wrote
'The Shepherd's Calendar,'" fays he, 'he
was certainly a Puritan, probably by con
viction, rather than from any social in
fluences(!!)" - -! ; ; j. l ' i ;
Nor is this belief shaken by the famous
line to be found in "Mutability," viz:
"Like that ungracious crew, I which feigns
demurest grace" a line '.'supposed," he
admits, "toglance at the straighter religion-
lata "i 1 j
. ''Supposed to glance!" We should rather
iuiu& au, iur in nuuui uuuiu iuc piaiu,
straightforward words have been directed
just then, but these Precisians, who "af
fected a demurer grace," with numberless
other virtues, their -.possession, whereof
might be reasonably doubted ? r - V
Again, when Ben. Jonson visited Drum-
mond of Hawthornden, he expressly in-
formed him that! 1'in a paper Walter
t-i-w lia1 of thft iieirorieK of lh Falr
Raleigh had of the allegories of the 'Fairy
Queen,' by the Blatant ; Beast the Puritans
were meant.'
"But, no I" exclaims Lowell, with amaz
ing "cheek," apropos of Jonson's assertion :
"Tliis is certainly wrong, because, forsooth,
there were different shades of Puritanism,
according to individual; temperament,' and
it was with the more generous side of Puri
tanism that Spencer sympathized." If this
be nut "whipping the devil round a stump,"
we have never seen that adroit little opera
tion attempted yeL'iA i.;;i. ;,i .i ; ; i
Sir Waller Raleigh was Spencer's bosom
friend, with whom; the poet conversed con-,
lidentially in regard to. the cantos of his
immortal work, and therefore, if any man
mi.' lit claim to speak dogmatically of Spen
cer's meaning, it was he. What right; par
consequence, had a scholar of the nineteenth
century to contradict an assertion: so direct.

Because, -j when the entire South ijhad
separated herself from t the t Union, sand
formed one compact Confederation, Tim
rod celebrated her victories and mourned
her defeats, Mr. Johnson affirms, without
qualification, that he 'heartily advocated
secession!".1.' I ' -r t :! .1 '
He did no such thing. . On the contrary,
Timrod was to the last possible moment a
sincere Unionist, in the sense that be depre
cated the policy if not the right of seces
sion, wnile maintaining; with his whole
heart and soul that the South bad been
grossly wronged!' Like Mr. Stephens! of
Georgia, and many others, ; he would have
preferred a longer Constitutional struggle
in'fhe Union, but after the issue had been
irrevocably decided by the majority of his
people, he acted as Stephens did, as Lee
flirt nrirf. mhpre nf riiiallv lti(rl 1nna.: in o
werd, he refused to become a traitor to his
fState ant! Rentinn. It is. thprpforp. nlear
that the New England compiler's haste to
sneer at j iimrod s political backsliding (as
he viewed it) has committed him to an as
sertion that is false.
Again' Mr. Johnson cives us his estimate
of the Southerner's writings iu the follow-
ing Sanguase:
("Timrod," ; says he
"during the first
years or the rebellion.
composed numerous
martial lyrics, in which the usual cant of
Southern chivalry wa relieved by a con
siderable' tinge (!!) of poetic thought and
OlCtlOn." : ! i! -' ';.! !:-
Charming condescehsipn! Whatever the
elegant phrase, "a considerable tinge of
poetic tnougnt ana aiction,':may mean,; we
perceive tnat tuis "great unknown" among
critics (who is Mr. Rossiter. Johnsonf ?) is
disposed, in the main, to merciful conces
sions. 1! -. 1 I . ;: I' !' Yu ' 'ill'
No "cant" of any sort, as, for " example,
the"cant" of sectionalism, the "cant", of
narrow-minded intellectual bigotry, ! the
"caDt" whose first maxim, touching peoples

self-sufficiency and self-stultification, is. to
be traced in: the serene

Dr. Johnson U3ed tjo say, that "books

in Vour hand, arc the most useful after all."
l ue trutn or tnis is proved anew . by the
marked success which : has attended the

a Coast scene occurs, wqicu, ror correctness
