The uncertainty of an author's judgment of his own books was never better illustrated than by the fact that Whittier's poem Mabel Martin first published under the name of The witch's daughter in the National Era for 1857-erroneously described by Mr. Pickard as first published in 1866--was his greatest immediate financial success.

The publishers of the Atlantic Monthly gave a dinner in my name, and the editor of The Literary World gathered in his paper many affectionate messages from my associates in literature and the cause of human progress. The lines which follow were written in acknowledgment. Beside that milestone where the level sun, Nigh unto setting, sheds his last low rays On word and work irrevocably done, Life's blending threads of good and ill outspun, I
