JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL
Autograph Sentiment on a 4¼x3½ card
Autograph Sentiment signed: "Faithfully yours/J. R. Lowell/19th Jan:
1886", 4¼x3½ card. The works of James Russell Lowell (1819-1891)
include poetry (Commemoration Ode, Under the Willows, Three
Memorial Poems) and prose (Fireside Travels, Among My Books,
Political Essays). Lowell, who wrote in conventional rhyme and meter, was
considered one of the "Fireside Poets", whose works were popular for family
reading. Lowell, who succeeded to Longfellow's chair at Harvard (1855-1876),
was also the first editor of the Atlantic Monthly (1857). Lowell was
U.S. Minister to Spain (1877-1880) and Great Britain (1880-1885),
employing his legal, literary and linguistic talents to good effect in both
posts. Lowell was, of course, a member of the venerable Lowell family, of whom
it was said in Boston that "the Cabots speak only to Lowells, and the Lowells
speak only to God." Toned at edges. Otherwise, fine
condition.
