... of this scanty record has in­ vited further acquaintance. It has seemed a pity that William Cullen Bryant, who walked over his own grounds at Great Barrington with Simms and visited him at Woodlands, did not say more when he wrote about his friend; and that Paul Hamilton Hayne did not leave fuller records...

..., as against such a majority will it serve only as an apology for the injustice of that majority s oppression, as pithily expressed by Hayne in his great reply to Webster.

... is kept in mind, and when one remembers his treatment of other authors, it is not a matter of surprise that Lanier is dismissed with a sentence, Hayne and Timrod with clauses, and that Cable and Harris are not alluded to.
