Essays Prof. Boyesen discusses and
endeavors to characterize the various
types of American women, and in
dulges in an invidious, but he hopes
not Improbable, comparison between
German and American ladies. Being
himself Norwegian by birth, and hav-
ing married an American lady, he feels
that be can afford to do this without
fear of misunderstanding. Two of the
essays are personal in character. One
is called 1.-The Meridian of Life" and
. records the authors lugubrious emo
lions on passing his fortieth birthday;
there Is also paper entitled MY Lost
Self" which describes Prof. Boyesen's
feelings on returning after an absence
of nineteen years to his native land. 1t
Is a .bit of personal history which he
believes no other man of letters has
had a chance tc record.
The professors mention of his Nor
wegian birth led me to ask him about
his boyhood in Norway and how he
came to make his home in this country.
We drifted into a long conversation on
the subject which / will set down as
closely as possible.
81 was born" the professor said. ''at
a little naval station in the south of
Norway, called Fredericksvaern, where
my father was then stationed as pro-
fessor of mathematics at the naval
academy. This was not the family
homestead, my fathers family having
been landed proprietors who owned an
ESTATE near Christiania, and had lived
On it for generations. My mothers
family belonged to the district called
Sogn. where my grandfather was a
Judge. / was sent to him as small
boy and spent large part of my boy

remember very well how he took me
about in a large cabin boat called the
wing-boat, when he went on his an
nual voyage to the sessions of the
court in his various districts. The boat
was rowed by dozen oarsmen, and
wherever we came flag was run up

copy of Landstad's Norwegian ballads,
which he had just procured. saying
that he found much difficulty in read
ing the Norwegian dialects in which
the ballads were written. l willingly
offered my services as q translator,
and we spent most pleasant after
noon together.
''In return for this slight favor he
asked me whether would not like to
meet the literary celebrities of Cam
bridge. This was more than l had
hoped for. At a dinner which he gave
a few days later / met Mr.. Howelis.
At the request of Prof. Childs
brought the manuscript of my book,
and read two chapters after dinner.
Howells was greatly interested, and
invited me to spend a couple of days
with him at his house and read the re-
mainder of the book. The invitation
was accepted and likewise the manu-
script which appeared the following
year in the Atlantic Monthly. This
was the beginning of a warm and en-
during friendship which / value above
all my other experiences in this coun-
try. Every summer, during the next
eight years,,I spent largely with How
ellis and his family, and his unfailing
kindness and courtesy, his heroic pa
thence with my literary crudites, gave
me valued impetus and encourage
ment for future effort"
The tale when it appeared in book
form the following year, was most ia
vorably received and proved crafty
ing success.
This and the success of my early
Atlantic stories brought me into associa-
ton with another prominent and most
delightful man of letters, DR.. ]. G. Hol-
land, then editor of the old Scribners'
Monthly. He, too, welcomed me to the
pages of his magazine with kindness
and courtesy l shall never forget. I
spent a summer with him at Bar Har-
Dor in 1876. We took long walks to-
gether. discussed literary plans, and he
showed an interest in my work all out
of proportion to its merits. Another
literary editor whose criticism and
friendship became of much value TO
me at this time was Richard Watson
Glider, then associate editor of the old
Scribner. He and his charmingly in
telligent wife completed the work of
identifying me with American life. so
that when my grandfather demanded
my return to Norway very brief ex
perience suficed to show me that nv
lot was cast irrevocably in the United
States" ARTHUR STEDMAN.

"When 1 had graduated from the uni
versity in $685." the professor went on,
my father informed me that this sum
was at my disposal, and advised me to
spend year In travel in the United
States with my younger brother. II
liked the country well enough might
stay. 1t not might return to Norway.
'On April l, 1869. my brother and
arrived in New York, and after travel
ing about for some months we took up
our temporary quarters in small town
called Crbana, in Ohio There l left
my brother and went to Chicago, where
i was offered the editorship of a Nor
wegian weekly called 'FremaG,' which
had just been started. In this
position | remained about year and
half, but the ambition to write was
strong In me, and soon saw that if
were to make reputation as a writer
I must master completely the English
language. To this end it was neces-
sary to abandon all Scandinavian as
sociations- I resigned my editorship
and accepted position as tutor in Lat
in and Greek at the Urbana university.
There / wrote my first book, 'Gunnar,'
but now the question arose-how to
get 1t published? did not know sim
gle person connected remotely even
with literature. but somehow the fates
seemed to be on my side.
SIN the summer vacation ! went to
Boston, which l heard was then tho
literary center of the country. The
day after my arrival strolled into the
Harvard library in Cambridge. The
librarian, Prof. Abbott, requested me
to sign my name in the visitors book.
and promptly spread out all my for
.midable His on the page. He became
interested and asked me what sort of a
name that was. l answered that it
was Norwegian name. Are you,
then, Norwegian he asked. re-
piled that was. That is very singu-
lar he said. Prof. Child, who was
here a moment ago, told me that he
wanted very much to get hold of an
educated Norwegian. If you have no
objection will send for him
II declared that should be delight
ed to meet the professor. He arrive,
in half an hour, bringing with him i.

Inc must have been the hospitality of
Homeric times"
How did you amuse youself as a lad,
professor"
My chief occupations were those of
primitive man, fishing and setting
traps for birds and beasts There CTss
boy named Niles Kampen, few
years older than myself, who was my
chief instructor in fishing and wood
lore He knew all the haunts of the
-ptter, the ptarmigan and the mountain
cock. sold the proceeds of our expe-
hitiens to my grandmother and gave
him half the profits. The servants
hall, which lay apart from the princi-
pal mansion, was TO me forbidden
but enchanted realm. Much was said
there that was not for ears polite, but
for all that / was drawn thither by an
Irresistible fascination. After having
kissed my grandparents good night
and when supposed to be sleeping
soundly, often stole down on tiptoe
TO the servants hall and listened spell
bound TO the old ballads, fairy tales
and traditions which were recounted
there during the winter nights" Al
the weird legends concerning the nixy
the builder and the troll, which are Il
be found in Boyesen's first hook '-f'I-r-
mar" were first heard on these forbid
den expeditions.
Boyesen completed his preparation
s.for the university of Norway in Chris
ytiania at a Latin school in the same
city. Meanwhile his father, who had
q great enthusiasm for the United
States, had spent two or three years IN
this country, and determined 10 give
his sons chance to decide for them
selves whether they wished to live here
or in Norway. He therefore deposited
