A MEMORIAL OF ALICE AND PHGBE CARY, Win
soME OF THEIR LATER POEMS. BY Mary Glenn
mer Ames. Illustrated by two portraits on
steel New York Iurd X lioughton.
This Memorial was labor of love. On as
Stunning it, the author was astonished at the
meagre material available for a personal biog-
raphy. The sisters had literally left nothing
upon which TO construct such memorial as
the public coveted embodying a record rather
Of their private than of their public life
They had left no data themselves, and their
more intimate friends had preserved no ma
terial, in correspondence OF memoranda,
which could aid the author in the work she
had assumed. Nothing was, therefore, left
her but to gather up, patiently and unwea-
riedly, what could be gathered from memory,
from what had already been published and
from the unedited papers which Phoebe had
left when she was called home. But from
these sources most interesting volume has
been Supplemented by numerous
poems which have not before appeared in
in any of their published works. The sisters
were unlike in habit, temperament and general
character, but they were each essential to the
other. Alice had Phnbes tenderness, hut she
combined with it great strength OF will, and
was full of energy, industry and patience.
Phoebe was, in every respect, essentially iemi-
nine. ' 1t seemed absolutely necessary 10 her
existence that somebody stood between her and
all the inexorable demands and exigcncies of
this world" But they both had rare gifts,
and have left volumes Of sweet contributions
to the literature of their age. The book should
be read by every lady in New England
For sale by Phinney.
