Among My Books. Second Series by James Russell Lowell is about a variety of incredibly talented writers and poems as their lives proceed from Lowell's imagination. Excerpt: "On the banks of a little river so shrunken by the suns of summer that it seems fast passing into a tradition, but swollen by the autumnal rains with an Italian suddenness of passion till the massy bridge shudders under the impatient heap of waters behind it, stands a city which, in its period of bloom not so large as Boston, may well rank next to Athens in the history which teaches come l' uom s' eterna."
