Aldrich, Thomas Bailey, [ante, vol. i., add.,] b. 1836, at Portsmouth, N.H., passed a portion of his early life in Louisiana, and on the death of his father entered the counting-house of an uncle in New York City, where he remained three years and began to write in prose and verse for periodicals. His subsequent career has been wholly literary. He contributed to Putnam's Magazine, the Knickerbocker Magazine, the New York Evening Mirror, and other journals, and was for three years (1856-59) on the staff of N. P. Willis's Home Journal. He was editor of Every Saturday from its commencement until its close in 1874, and in 1881, on the retirement of Mr. Howells from the Atlantic Monthly, succeeded him as editor of that magazine, to which he had for some time been a frequent contributor. As only two of his earliest books are mentioned in vol. i., a full list is here subjoined. 1. The Bells: a Collection of Chimes. By T. B. A. N. York, 1855, 12mo. 2.

It is no doubt impossible for a near relative to form any but the most partial and imperfect estimate of the public or literary career of a dear husband or par: ent, or of the exact value of his labours when compared with those of others toiling in the same field. Mrs. Alford's good sense has prompted her to delegate this portion of a biographer's task to such as were better able to accomplish it.... Every other qualification for the office which she had undertaken Dean Alford's widow possesses to the full."-Sat. Rev., xxxvi. 25.

Alford, Very Rev. Henry, D.D., [ante, vol. i., add.,] 1810–1871, was Vicar of Wymeswold, Leicestershire, 1835-53, when he removed to London, and was minister of Quebec Chapel, Marylebone, till 1857, when he was appointed Dean of Canterbury. He had a high reputation as a preacher, and was an active and liberal churchman, maintaining friendly relations with the leading nonconformist preachers. A man of varied accomplishments, he had also an extraordinary power of sustained work. In addition to his labors in Biblical

research and literature, his earnest parish activities, and private tuition, he wrote hymns, composed vocal and instrumental music, painted in water-colors, and contributed in prose and verse to periodicals. He was the first editor of the Contemporary Review, established in 1866, and contributed largely to its pages, as also to Good Words and other periodicals. A full list of his writings, including single sermons and other pamphlets, and articles in magazines, &c., not reprinted, is given in the Appendix to the Life by Mrs. Alford, supra. The following list of books, omitting pamphlets, completes that given ante, vol. i.:

1. Memoir of Rev. Henry Alford, Lon., 1854.

An abridged ed. was published in 1868, 1 vol., and a new ed. of the complete

work in 1871, 4 vols. 8vo.)

We only give expression to the view which has been formed of Dean Alford's edition by the chief theological scholars of the country when we say that the work is too large for one man."-Sat. Rev., xi, 402.

His work forms an epoch in Biblical studies in England; and, though separate portions of the Greek Testament have since been more fully dealt with by others, it is as yet unapproached as a whole."-CANON FREMANTLE, in Dict. of Nat. Biog., i. 283.

"Here is a great prophet,-a man who knows everything, past, present, and future,-who is going to set a mistaken world right about everything, past, present, and future,and we actually know nothing about him. Mr. Alexander Alison is the victim of the unfortunate vice of Omniscience."-Sat. Rev., x. 802.

1. The Solitudes of Nature and of Man; or, The Loneliness of Human Life, Bost., 1867.

"His readers are sure to be offended by his great diffuseness and frequent displays of fine writing. . . . It is the concluding portion, that devoted to illustrative examples, which shows the author in the best light."-Nation, iv.

2. The Friendships of Women, Bost., 1868.

"He is, to our perception, a purely sentimental writer; a fact which, under the circumstances, carries with it several aids, and as many impediments, to the happy ex ecution of his aims."-Nation, v. 522.

"The book before us is not a model biography; it is elaborate, painstaking, exact, in general just and pleas antly free from fulsome eulogy of its subject; but it is also diffuse, prolix, lacking in proper chronological proportion, full of repetitions, and crammed with impertinent digressions..

Mr. Alger shows him to us as a lover of his art, a student of Shakspere, a man with a tender heart and an open purse."-Nation, xxv. 124.

Mr. Alger has done his work as regards Forrest in a very impartial manner; he has not corrected his faults, nor has he deliberately exaggerated his good points, for the grandiloquent way in which he writes of them must
