ESSAYS, BIOGRAPHICAL AND CRITICAL; OR, Studies of Character. BY HENRY T. TUCKERMAN. "All my life long I have beheld with most respect the man Who knew himself, and knew the ways before him; And from amongst them chose considerately, With a clear foresight,- not a blindfold courage; And, having chosen, with a steadfast mind Pursued his purposes."- TAYLOR, Philip Van Artevelde.
