Beecher, Rev. Henry Ward, [ante, vol. i., add.,] 1813-1887. Mr. Beecher was one of the founders of the New York Independent, to which for nearly twenty years he contributed editorials, signed with an asterisk, whence the title of Star Papers, under which they were reprinted. From 1861 till 1863 he was editor-in-chief of the Independent. He was an early and strong protester against slavery, and during the civil war went abroad and addressed large audiences in the principal cities of Great Britain on the issues involved in the war. In April, 1865, at the request of the government, he delivered an oration at Fort Sumter on the anniversary of its fall. In 1874 he was defendant in an action brought by Theodore Tilton, which resulted in a disagreement of the jury, and in 1886 he made a second lecturing tour in England. From 1859, Mr. Beecher's sermons were taken down by stenographers, and printed for many years in the shape of a weekly publication called the Plymouth Pulpit. 1. Pleasant Talk about Fruits, Flowers, and Farming, 1860; new ed., 1873, 12mo. 2. Eyes and Ears, Bost., 1862, 12mo. 3.

Norwood as a novel a man is to be blamed for liking; unless indeed he has formed a habit of liking Norwoods. And as a picture of Village Life in New England' it seems to us also open to exception. As a gallery of Yankee portraits--portraits, at any rate, of Yankees of the period when Mr. Beecher and we were younger than we are now-Norwood appears to us a success."-Nation, vi. 274.

"In the first two of these essays Mr. Beesly affirms that
Catiline and Clodius were leaders of the democratic party
in Rome, and that they owe the bad reputation which they
have in history to the inventive malice of their political
enemies. In the third he narrates the actions of Tiberius
in such a way as to present him as a faultless character.
Mr. Beesly is not entirely original in the propositions
which he affirms... But Mr. Beesly is singular in the in-
tensity of his opinions."-Ath., No. 2643.
