Overview

Excerpt from The New-England Tragedies: In Prose; I. The Coming of the Quakers; II. The Witchcraft Delusion HE verse Of Longfellow has been inspired again by the Muse Of History. His theme is not a sportive one. The hand which has been wont to charm us with its blithe and joyous play, in this new motion sets ten thousand hearts athrob to the cadences of complaint. Yet our beloved poet does not disown himself. Ever and anon this minor melody gives way to the bright-toned, familiar calls Of charity and candon TO such laments for the two faults Of the Fathers, we will listen without repining; for we can foster the silent hope, meanwhile, that the next strain we hear will be one of noble praise for their grand and myriad virtues. Till then we shall be curious to know how much is fact, and how much fancy, in the latest work of the Laureate Of America.
