qoßh Coitus fob Whittier. London Press Comment on the Death of the American Quaker Poet. The London Times says regarding the leath of Whittier: “It may almost be said that what Seott did tor Scotland Whittier lid for New England. The most 9allent features of his verse were those also oblervable In his personal character—sincerity, simplicity: earnestness and manliness.” The News says: “Whittier sang of a distinctive New England life as no one ever tang It before and, since It Is going the way as all things, as no one will ever sing it again.’* Thd Chronicle says: “Whittier was the nearest approach to our conception of an American Qobert Burns that the new world has given. The world Las last one Bt the sweetest lyrists of its saddest wrongs” The Telegraph says! “Whittier possessed no small portion of Wordsworth’s genius. Although Inferior to the best work of Bryant and Poe It Is probable that his ■Mogg Megone’ and ‘Maud Muller’ will. live as long as ‘Thanatopsls’ and ‘The Saven.' ” The Standard suggests that It was good fortune rather than pre-eminent merit that secured Whittier an attentive and sympathetic hearing on that side of the Atlantic, and adds that In America Itself his claims to distinction will be more energetically questioned than in England.
