r of a poet and modern politician. People of the present day seem to have ideas similar to those of that old churl of a Plato, who was for banishing all poets from his perfect republic. Pickard, pp. 100-2. Moll Pitcher was published (Boston, 1832) anonymously, and again, but this time with his name, eight years later, together with The minstrel girl (Philadelphia, 1840). Neither of these has been included in his collected works. No American poet whose fame outlived him had ever produced in early life so much verse which he was ready to forget.

In one letter, written in 1832, he refers to his just published poem, Moll Pitcher, and says he has in it drawn a portrait of herself. This portrait may be found on pages 26, 27, of the poem, and it is probable that the reason why Moll Pitcher does not appear in any collection of his works is that he used several passages of it in other and later poems. Thus, the first stanza of Memories is copied almost verbatim from these lines in Moll Pitcher : A beautiful and sylph-like girl, With step as
