have been translated in France by Bande-
laire. and in Germany by FreiIigrafh, and
have been received in both countries with
all the enthusiasm accorded to native
pot. In England there has scarcely been
a collection OF notable poems published
since "The Raven" first appeared and
created such literary sensation but what
has contained one or more selections from
the pen OF Poe, and oftentimes he was the
only American poet represented.
But to praise or blame Poe, either as
man or as an author. Is not the object oil
this brief paper, but to introduce him as
| the youthful aspirant for poetic fame and
honors.
Imagine him, then, the poet OF nineteen,
sending his contributions to magazines far
and wide, waiting in fever-heat for the YER
dict of the editors; and. when returned to
him endorsed with the legend, "declined
with thanks" imagine again his amaze

OF Poe's first ambitious efforts for recOgDi-

searches OF the many who have made him
the theme OF their pens. In this / may
possibly be mistaken; but having always
taken q great pleasure in reading every
thing written by Poe, this matter appeared
to me to be entirely new, even though over
half century old.
