Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year eighteen hundred and forty-two, by H. W. LONGFELLOW, in the Clerk's office of the District Court of the District of Massachusetts. Replacing missing copy CAMBRIDGE: METCALF, KEITH, AND NICHOLS, PRINTERS TO THE UNIVERSITY. [The following poems, with one exception, were written at sea, in the latter part of October. I had not then heard of Dr. Channing's death. Since that event, the poem addressed to him is no longer appropriate. I have decided, however, to let it remain as it was written, a feeble testimony of my admiration for a great and good man.] |
