THE death of James Russell Lowell,
at the age of 72, removes the last but
two of the great poets of this country.
Mr.. Lowell stands with Longfellow,
Emerson and Bryant. He was poet
first, critic second, and afterward a
wit and diplomat. The distinctive
feature of all his literary work is
brilliancy. His field was broad, ex-
tending over lyric poetry, satire, humor,
criticism and scholarship. His poetry
is less simple and musical than Long
fellows, less keen than Emerson's, less
natural than Bryant's, but has its own
traits of high finish and mystic thought.
Mr.. Lowell's fame will rest on his
literary achievements, but his services
as the Minister of this country to
Madrid and to the Court of st. James
were of great value and will always be
remembered.
