FINDS OLD WHITTIER POEMS

Samuel T. Rickard Says “Whole Nest” Revealed by Study of Periodical Poet Edited. Mass. —Samuel T. Pickard, the biographer of John Greenleaf Whittier,, and now living In the old Whittier home here, tells of his recent discovery of a “whole nest of poems by Whittier, never before recognized as his.” In commenting on his study of a volume of tbe New England Review of 1830-31, Mr. Pickard says; “While it was edited by Whittier, I find much that has escaped me hitherto. I have found a whole nest of poems by Whittier never before recognized as his. The signature was the odd one ‘Feramorz.’ “I find the ‘Feramorz’ poems are Whittier’s, and that he used this signature before and after he became editor of the Review.”
