Self Made Literary Men.

Mr.. James I. Fields writes an inter
esting letter describing Bayard Taylor's
first appearance in Boston. It reminds
us OF how many there are distinguished
in American literature who have OBJ,
tanned this position without the aid OF
.alcollege education. Bayard Taylor was
poor printers boy, and he became the
most versatile of our authors, with
reputation in both continents, and 3
position of the highest rank, both in
public estimation and in that of his
associates. When he came to Boston.
thirty-four years ago, after emerging
from obscurity into favor through his
own efforts, the two men who were most
active in taking him by the hand were
Mr.. James t. Fields, himself then only
a booksellers apprentice, and Mr.. Ed
win P. Whipple. who was superintend-
ent of a Boston newsroom. Many
other examples, both earlier and later.
will doubtless occur to your readers.
The whole array of eminent women
who have done so much for our national
reputation would, of course, be in
cluded in our list. Maria Brooks
("Maria del Occidente"), VINO was so
praised by Southey, and whose reputa-
ton is lately revived in Harper's Mag
azi1ae by z. B. Gustafson- Maria
Brooks was the wife, of Boston tailor
From her, down to Mrs. Stowe, and her
later sisters, the list is strong one.
Take, too, the younger writer's of Bos-
ton to-day. Mr.. William d. Howells,
like Bayard Taylor, began life in q
printing Office, and never had the ad-
vantages of university. Mr.. T. 3.
Aldrich got his education only in the
schools and in trade, except what he
obtained by elfculture, and Mr.. G. P
Lathrop is not ollege-educated man
Mr.. F. III. Underwood, the protector
and one of the first editors of the At
ld1otic Monthly, and very scholarly
man, both in taste and achievement,
