-Anent the proposed memorial to the |
poet, Longfellow, the distinguished author, !
Mr.. George William Curtis, writing edito- |
rily in Huper's Weekly, says: "The char
acter of the memorial will be determined by |
very competent committee. There have |
been various suggestions, but none is more
happy than that of securing the broad field
in front of the house and sloPipg gently
down to the Charles river, over which is seen
the low range of Brighton hills, which |
makes the horizon. The field would be one
that was his. The prospect would be the
same that he loved, and his statue, placed at
one side, would look from his home toward
his grave. 1t would not be easy to suggest
more fitting or beautiful memorial" Money
for the National Dollar Subscription in
honor of Mr.. Longfellow should be sent to
