Margaret Fuller
OF clever women, we have still an abundance; OF
cultivated women, not few; of women who WRITE
somewhat too many; but this woman was the npest
If not the faires fruit of the culture of her sex IN the
New World. Others have read as much; no other
had read so judiciously or prOftably. Hers was
fuller than are those minds which find readiest and
most fluent expression through the pen; if she had
studied much she had thought more: she had
learned comparatively so much that she was ever
conscious of the vastness of the worlds of knowledge
that still awaited her cOnquerng tread History
Poetry Science Art, ReIgiOn-she was familiar
with each, and realized, as the Ignorant never do
nor can how much she had yet to learn. All her
ACQUISITIONS had left her moral and social nature
fresh sensitive unpetrifed. Girls loved to cluster
about her and she thoroughly enjoyed the society
and prattle of little children. No young man or
young woman read her less fugitive essays here
collected without being decidedly wiser therefor;
while he OF she must be depraved indeed whom they
do not make permanently better They are emil
nently free from can't from sentimentality and from
commonplace, while peryaded by generous and
trustful humanity. Many of our countrywomen
have been far more widely read yet we doubt that
any of them win be read so long and reverenty as
she will.
Biography is the most difficult department of litera-
ture and few lives have been written Tin Englishl
as to render them interesting to the general reader
but the work of Messrs Emerson, Claiming and
Clarke was emphaticaly labor of love; they were
thoroughly acquainted with their subject; and they
were all above the mistaken tenderness which pre-
sents its subject as seraphic and not human. They
wrote honestly as well lovingly; they knew their
subject was iDtrinSiealy so great that adulatlon
Gonl2 only belittle her; and they obeyed CromweHs
Injunction: Paint me as amp The result en-
phaticaly iustifes their choice There Is scarcely
another American biography more lifelike ara Salts
factory than that contained in these volumes.
1t is well that our foremost woman has been SO adj
equately embalmed Cor the study of future ages
These six volumes have found, and viii continue %
find, " fit audience" though not very numerous nor
noisy in its appreciation. small edition only has
been printed, and we do not doubt that 1t will meet
with o cordial and enduring appreciation
