Book excerpt: Excerpt from James Russell Lowell A keen observer has said, in speaking of Lowell as a man, that you had to surrender yourself to his influence before he approved of you and allowed you to get his best. After that he was very glad to reveal him self. I am not quite sure that I have sub mitted to his inﬂuence. I rather hope not. But I also hope, all the same, that, in a way, I have got the best of him that is now possible That is what I want, - all, I think, that any one should now ask. In this essay much has of necessity been left out but it has been my aim to seize those characteristics and qualities which must en dure, and which will make him a necessity to those who live after him.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from James Russell Lowell: An Address Audience culled from many colleges and not predisposed to admire, in shuddering delight by the classic charm of his man ner and the brilliancy of his unsparing censure of educated men as recreant to political progress. The orator was nearly seventy years old. He was conscious that he should never speak again upon a greater occasion nor to a more distin guished audience, and as his discourse ended, as if to express completely the princ1p1e of his own life and of the cause to which it had been devoted, and the Spirit which alone could secure the happy future of his country if it was to justify the hope of her children, he repeated the words of Lowell New occasions teach new duties, time makes ancient good uncouth. They must upward still and onward who would keep abreast of truth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Bibliography of James Russell Lowell The early poems were in 1877 separated into Earlier and Miscellaneous, and these per manent divisions have been indicated by brackets. The same has been done for Memorial Verses and Poems of the War, to signify their sepa ration from previous collections or groups. The single works have been grouped together, in order that the various editions and other bibliographical details may be fully noted. There has been added a list of the most important criticisms, guides to study, and book-sale prices. It is hoped this arrangement will prove help ful, not only to students, but also to librarians and bibliographers. To bring everything relat ing to each of the books together it has been thought will prove a useful arrangement. Under the head of complete editions will be found noted the successive additions which have been made to them, and the changes which have been made in the arrangement of titles and books. The contents of the several editions are given whenever there have been additions or rearrangements. Since many of the notices and criticisms do not relate to particular books, an alphabetical list has been given of those most worthy of attention, which repeats those presented under the individual titles. Lowell made a large num ber of speeches and addresses, the titles of which it has been thought best to place together, in order that their various repetitions and publica tions may be noted.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from James Russell Lowell, Biography and Selections From His Writings: Written Especially for School Reading Lowell was the youngest of a family'of seven children and was naturally petted a great deal. He did not develop mentally with any unusual rapidity, but he was an attractive, handsome boy, whose alertness and sympathetic nature won for him the love of everyone. He was a real boy, too, for though he was quick. To learn, yet he liked to play out of doors rather than be shut up in the house to study. Like Holmes, he enjoyed as a boy the long drives which he often took with his father when the elder Low ell went into some of the surrounding villages to exchange Sunday services with other pastors. The little boy was a keen observer, and no doubt the impressions he received of the plain country folk who came out to hear his father preach helped him in later years when he characterized so well the dwellers in New England.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from James Russell Lowell and His Friends One cannot conceive more fortunate or charming conditions than those of the boyhood and early edu cation of James Russell Lowell. You may study the babyhood and boyhood of a hundred poets and not find one home like his. His father, the Rev. Charles Lowell, was the minister of a large parish in Boston for more than fifty years. Before James was born, Dr. Lowell had moved his residence from Boston to Cambridge, to the home which his children after wards called Elmwood. So much of Mr. Lowell's poetry refers to this beautiful place, as beautiful now as it was then, that even far-away readers Will feel a personal interest in it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of James Russell Lowell, Vol. 1 In making the following selection from the great mass of Mr. Lowell's letters which was in my hands, my attempt was to secure for it, so far as possible, an autobiogphic character. And, in the main, this has not been difficult, for few writers have given in their letters a more faithful representation of themselves, and of few men is the epistolary record more complete from youth to age. But portions of every man's life are essentially private, and knowledge of them belongs by right only to those intimates whom lie himself may see fit to trust with his entire confidence. Vulgar curiosity is, indeed, always alert to spy into these sanctities, and is too often gratified, as in some memorable and mournful instances in recent years, by the infidelities of untrustworthy friends. There was nothing in Mr. Lowell's life to be concealed or excused. But he had the reserves of a high and delicate nature, reserves to be no less respected after death than during life, and nothing will, I hope, be found in these volumes which he himself might have regretted to see in print.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Writings of James Russell Lowell, Vol. 3: In Prose and Poetry Equilibrium of his judgment, essential to him as an artist, but equally removed from propagandism, whether as enthusiast or logician, would have un fitted him for the pulpit and his intellectual being was too sensitive to the wonder and beauty of out ward life and Nature to have found satisfaction, as Milton's could, (and perhaps only by reason of his blindness, ) in a world peopled by purely imaginary figures. We might fancy him becoming a great statesman, but he lacked the social position which could have opened that career to him. What we mean when we say Shakespeare, is something in conceivable either during the reign of Henry the Eighth, or the Commonwealth, and which would have been impossible after the Restoration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from James Russell Lowell: A Biographical Sketch Poetry, in its essential quality, is disengaged from the products of the ordinary mental facul ties. It is something wholly apart, not a sum mary nor an epigram. It never expounds, comments, nor exhorts. It teaches, if it teaches at all, by what it suggests, by sub tile hints, and by apt parables. It is only a truism to say that poetry is the highest and rarest of the productions of mind. But few poets are wholly poetical, or of imagination all compact. Some dross is fused with their gold. The temptation to discuss is very strong with men who live and bear their part in the world. And it has generally happened that great poetical conceptions have been born in loneliness or in darkness. The subject of this sketch is one of the most favorable examples of English descent and American culture. As he was born in a time of ferment, both as to literary and theo logic dogmas, he was naturally influenced by the revival which the early part of this cen tury witnessed. He has profited by the liter atures of all nations, but he has been the disciple Of no one literary master. His suc cess in verse is fairly matched by his brilliant and poetical prose; and while he is eminent among scholars, he is at the same time capa ble, discreet, and distinguished among pub lic men. The events of the times in which he has lived, and the changes that have taken place in his own sphere, as will be seen here after, have affected in various ways the pro ductions of his pen.
