Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Victorian Literature: Sixty Years of Books and Bookmen In history, we in England have read Prescott and Motley; in poetry we have read Walt Whit man, William Cullen Bryant, John Greenleaf Whittier, and, above all, James Russell Lowell, who endeared himself to us alike as a poet, a critic, and in his own person when he represented the United States at the Court of St James's. Lastly I recall the delight with which as a boy I read the Autocrat of the Breakfast Table, and the joy with which as a man I visited the author, Dr Oliver Wendell Holmes, in his pleasant study in Beacon Street, Boston. These and many other writers have made America and the Americans very dear to Englishmen, and this in spite of much wild and foolish talk in the journals of the two countries.
