Mr. Longfellow lu the autumn of 1868, a few days after taking up my residence in Cambridge. Many circumstances, irrespective of the characteristic good will and geniality of the poet, tended to ripen this acquaintance into a friendship, to which I now revert with more than ordinary pleasure and gratification. Thenceforth we met frequently and talked over matters which, I have no doubt, interested me much more than they did my friend. In 1876 my History of Massachusetts was published. Having examined a copy of the work, Mr. Longfellow sent for me one day and suggested the preparation of a work which should comprise in its subject-matter very full biographical data relative to our elder American poets. The suggestion was duly considered, and the project seemed to me to be at that time perfectlj feasible. Upon making known to Mr. Longfellow my decision, it was at once agreed that we should begin with his own literary life and works. At intervals he gave me much of his valuable time, and I very carefully gathered together from his lips my memoranda.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
