Boston the Literary Center.


The assertion that Boston was the lit
erary center-without quotation marks
during the period in which American
literature acquired shelf of it's own in
the library Of the race is hardly open
to dispute. The production Of books
possessing something like permanence
is perhaps the most characteristic mark
Of u center to which the term literary"
in its true meaning Of related to liter
ature" may be applied. Name the Amer
lean writer's whose work has stood the
test Of half a century, and, with few
notable exceptions, they belong to Bos-
ton and its neighborhood. All this is
thrice familiar. The record of it in out
line or detail is a story which has been
told by many tongues and many pens
