“He has honored other friends in a more elaborate and impressive fashion, but none, I think, with more true sympathy and reverent poise ... than he has displayed in this brief memoir of Longfellow. The essential facts are given, the right note of praise is struck, there is no meaningless and confusing parade of literary references and allusions.” W. P. Trent.
