JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. IN the year 1639 Percival Lowle, or Lowell, a merchant of Bristol, England, landed at the little seaport town of Newbury, Mass. N\~ generally speak of a man's descent. In the case of James Russell Lowell's ancestry it was rather an ascent through eight generations. Percival Lowle's son, John Lowell, was a worthy cooper in old Newbury; his great-grandson was a shoemaker, his great-great-grandson was the Rev. John Lowell of Newburyport, the father of the Hon. John Lowell, who is regarded as the author of the clause in the Massachusetts Constitntion abolishing slavery. Judge Lowell's son, Charles, was a Unitarian minister, "learned, saintly, and discreet." He married Miss Harriet Traill Spence, of Portsmouth, - a woman of superior mind, of great wit, vivacity, and an impetuosity that reached eccentricity. She was of Keltic blood, of a family that came from the Orkneys, and clainied descent from the Sir Patrick Spens of "the grand old ballad." Several of her family were connected with the American navy. Her father was Keith Speiice, purser of the frigate "Philadelphia," and a prisoiser at Tripoli. By ancestry on both sides, and by connections with the Russelis and other distinguished families, Lowell was a good type of the New England gentleman. He was born on the 22d of February, 1819, at Elmwood, not far from Brattle Street, Cambridge. This three-storied colonial mansion of wood was built in 1767 by Thomas Oliver, the last royal Lieutenant-Governor, before the Revolution.1 Like other houses in "Tory Row," 1 Thomas Oliver was graduated from Harvard College in the class of 1755. He was a gentleman of fortune, and lived first in Roxhury. He bought the property on ix

Soon afterwards it came into possession of Elbridge Gerry, Governor of Massachusetts, and fifth Vice-President of the United States, whose in emory and name are kept alive by the terut "gers~mander." It iiext be caine the property of Dr. Lowell abont a year before the birth of his youngest child, and it was the hoitie of the poet until his death. Lowell's early education was obtained mainly at a school kept nearly opposite Elmwood by a retired publisher, an Englishman, Air. William Wells. He also studied in the classical school of Mr. Daisial G. Ingraham in Boston. He was graduated from Harvard College in the class of 1838. He is reportedas declaring that he read almost everything e~cept the classbooks prescribed by the faculty. Lowell says, in one of his early poems referring to Harvard, - "Tho' lightly prized the ribboned parcliments three, Yet collegissejuvot, I am glad That here what colieging was mine I had." He was secretary of the Hasty Pudding Society, and one of the editors of the college periodical Hc~vc~yiiana, to which he coiitributed various articles in prose and verse. His neglect of prescribed studies, and disregard of college discipline, resulted in his rustication just before commencement in 1838. He was sent to Concord, where he resided in the family of Barzillai Frost, and made the acquaintance of Emerson, then beginning to rouse the ire of conservative Unitarianism by his transcendental philosophy, of the brilliant but overestimated Margaret Fuller, who afterwards severely criticised Lowell's verse, and of 1~lmwood Avenue in 1~66. When he accepted the royal commission of Lieutenant~overnor, he became President of the Council appointed by the King. On Sept. 2, i7~4, about four thousand Middlesex freeholders assembled at Cambridge and compelled the mandamus councillors to resign. The President of the Council urged the propriety of delay, hut the committee would not spare him. He was forced to sign an agreement, "as a man of honor and a Christian, that he would never hereafter, upon any terms whatsoever, accept a seat at said Board on the present novel and oppressive form of government." He immediately quitted Cambridge; and when the British troops evacuated Boston he accompanied them. By an odd coincidence he went to reside at Bristol, England, where he died at the age of eighty-two years, in 1815, shortly before the Lowells, who were of Bristol origin, took possession of his former home. In Underwood's sketch of Lowell, Thomas Oliver is confused with Chief Justice Peter Oliver, a man of a very different type of character.

BIOC~APiiiCAL SKETCH. Xi other well-known residents of the pretty town. He had been elected poet of his class. His removal froiji college prevented him from delivering the poem which was afterwards published anonymously for private distribution. It contaij~ed a satire on abolitionists and reformers. "I know the village," he writes long afterwards in the person of Hosea Biglow, Esquire. "I know the village though, was sent there once A-schoolin',`cause to home I played the dunce!" On his return to Cambridge he took up the study of law, and, in 1840, received the degree of LL.B. He even went so far as to open an office in Boston; but it is a question whether there was any actual basis of fact in a whimsical sketch of his entitled "My First Client," published iu the short-lived Boston ~lisce11any, edited by Nathan Hale. Several Ihings engrossed Lowell's attention to the exclusion of law. Society at Cambridge was particularly attractive at that time. Allston the painter was living at Cambridgeport. Judge Story's pleasant hoine was on Brattle Street. The Fays then occupied the house which has since become the seat of Radcliffe College. Longfellow, described as "a slender, blond young professor," was established in the Craigie House. The famous names of Dr. Palfrey, Professor Andrews Nortoii, father of Lowell's friend and biographer, the "saintly" Henry Ware, and others will occur to the reader. He was fond of walking and knew every inch of the beautiful ground then called "Sweet Auburn," now turned by the hand of misguided man into that most distressing of monstrosities - a modern cemetery. He haunted the poetic shades of the Waverley Oaks, heard the ch~xming music of Beaver Brook, and climbed the hills of Belmont and Arlington. He himself took his turn in establishing a magazine. In January, 1843, he started T1~e Pioneer, to which Hawthorne, John Neal, Miss Barrett, Poe, Whittier, Story, Parsons, and others contributed, and which, in spite of such an array of talent, perished untimely during the winds of March. He had already published, in 1841, a little volume of poems entitled "A Year's Life." They were marked by no great originality, betrayed little promise of future emineuce, a'~d Margaret Fuller, who reviewed them, was quite right in assert
