r works of which we can only say that had his fame rested on those alone, it would have been of quite uncertain tenure. A very few of them, like Keramos, Morituri Salutamus, and The Herons of Elmwood, stand out as exceptions, and above all of these was the exquisite sonnet already printed in this volume, The Cross of Snow, recording at last the poet's high water-mark, as was the case with Tennyson's Crossing the Bar. Apart from these, it may be truly said that the little volume called Flower de Luce was the last collection published by him which recalled his earlier strains. His volume Ultima Thule appeared in 1880, and In the Harbor, classed as a second part to it, but issued by others after his death. With these might be placed, though not with any precision, the brief tragedy of Judas Maccabaeus, which had been published in the Three Books of Song, in 1872; and the unfinished fragment, Michael Angelo, which was found in his desk after death.

Several of this group had habitually spent their summers in the actual inn which Longfellow described and which is still visible at Sudbury. But none of the participants in the supposed group are now living except Signor Monti, who still reennyson, and Swinburne, to mention no others, have had to meet this fate, and Longfellow did not escape it.

This possibility must always be allowed for, but the fact remains that the title which Longfellow himself chose for so many of his poems, Birds of Passage, was almost painfully suggestive of a series of minor works of which we can only say that had his fame rested on those alone, it would have been of quite uncertain tenure. A very few of them, like Keramos, Morituri Salutamus, and The Herons of Elmwood, stand out as exceptions, and above all of these was the exquisite sonnet already printed in this volume, The Cross of Snow, recording at last the poet's high water-mark, as was the case with Tennyson's Crossing the Bar.

None of his dramatic poems showed him to be on firm ground in respect to this department of poesy, nor can they, except the Golden Legend, be regarded as altogether successful literary undertakings. It is obvious that historic periods differ wholly in this respect; and all we can say is that while quite mediocre poets were good dramatists in the Elizabethan period, yet good poets have usually failed as dramatists in later days.

G. Thorp, to the poet's youngest daughter. The volume has always been popular, even its most ample form; yet most of the individual poems are rarely quoted, and with the exception of Paul Revere's Ride and Lady Wentworth they are not very widely read. These two are, it is to be observed, the most essentially American among them. The book was originally to have been called The Sudbury Tales, and was sent to the printer in April, 1863, under that title, which was however changed to Tales of a Wayside Inn, through the urgency of Charles Sumner. It is the common fate of those poets who live to old age, that their critics, or at least their contemporary critics, are apt to find
