One of the most important articles OF
the month will be an article on James
Russell Lowell by Edward Everett Hale
in the Oct. no. OF the New England Maya

intimacy which existed between him and
the poet gives a personal interest to his ar
tScle which adds TO its attractiveness. A
numDer OF anecdotes OF Lowell are incor-
porated in the body of "reminiscences nnc
criticism, and receiving publicity now for
the first time, give the article piquancy
which it could not otherwise possess. A
fine portrait OF Lowell in his study, taken
