he made excursions into the literature
of almost every language of Europe,
including such dead languages as the
Gaelic He could not only read fluent
ly the French, German, Italian, Span
ish, Morse, Danish, Swedish, Russian,
Bohemian. Polish, Hungarian and Ser
Wan, but he composed with facility in
many of these tongues. He also read
SGnscrit, and had an acquaintance
with the grammar Of the Basque and
other languages which he did not read.
He was also familiar with many of the
dialects Of the American Indians On
the occasion OF Ole Bulls first visit to
this country, Percival greeted him with
a poem in his native Norwegian. His
scholarship in Greek and Latin at
tracted attention even IN his college
days. One of his interesting poetic
works was his Classic Melodies, in
which he successfully introduced nu-
merous ancient measures into English
verse. A specimen of these, Illus
tratiug the choriambic polyschematist
measure, may be quoted here, TO show
the music. grace and animation of his
poetic writing in his lighter moods:
Come 20 the dancel Awake Awake Bound
with the music lightly
Evening is falling on the lake-hashes the mir
rOr brightly
Come whore the elm ia arching high, bent with
its purple treasure;
Bid 60 the toll OF day goOd-by yield - the
call OF pleasurct
Come 70 the dance. 20 naidens fair Gayly the
song invites you.

ring he lights you
Circle around the festive tree Then, IA the
music wakes you.

Haste TO the dance Away away! Vol and
Lutte attend you
Evening winds as with flowers they play sweets
from the rosebud send YOU
Haste 20 the dancol The music calls Haste %
the smile OF lover
Soon the chilly night dew falls then must the
dance be over.
His more serious verse shows mag
nation and intimate acquaintance with
outdoor nature. During his life, Per
cival gave volumes of poetry to the
public at three different times. After
his death, his collected poetical works
were published in two handsome vol
umes by Ticknor q Fields, Boston.

Is now remembered chiefly as poet,
specimens of his musical and pictur-
esque verse adjoining most of the an
thologies. and having place in many
of the school-readers. But he was also
great as n philologist and geologist,
and his attainments In almost every
branch of science were remarkable.
He rendered important service TO Noah

position of State Geologist of Wiscon-
sin. 1t was during his incumbency of
this Office that he died, in May, 1856,
at Hazel Green, Lafayette County,
where his remains now repose.
Percival was the son of Connecti-
cut physician, and was born in 1875.
He was graduated from Yale College
with honor at the age of 10. When a
mere child he had displayed marked
poetical powers, and shortly after leav-
ing college he gave his first volume of
verse TO the world. Before this no less
authority than Edward Everett had
compared him with Byron for the SEN
tentiousness and ease which were char
acteristic of his poetic compositions,
and when this work appeared the same
authority, in an article in the North
american ReUielC, pronounced him
classical American poet.
His work in connection with the re-
vision and publication of the first
quar,o edition of Webster's Dictionary
was done in 1927 and 1928. About the
same time he began the translation
from the French of an important geo.
graphical work, which he finished in
1888, and which was published in six
octave volumes His geological survey
of Connecticut occupied him seven
years. ending in 1915.
