It is a good retrospective tone to take, answering perfectly to the hearty womanly independence of the Beecher women. . . . It also copes quite handsomely with the wonderfully dreadful, immensely popular Hartford household poet, Lydia Huntley Howard Sigourney, doing her an oblique justice that her Brahmin contemporaries, with the odd exception of Poe, could never afford to extend to that smothering genius of the commonplace. . . .
