HAGLEY, January 15th, 1857.
—In the evening the great Monro (staying at the Rectory) lectured in the school on Longfellow, chiefly his new poem " Hiawatha." It was about twice too long but delighted me much, from the surpassing beauty of his quotations, occasional grand poetry of his language, and the way he appreciates, and has made others appreciate, " Hiawatha," which is throughout curious and interesting and very beautiful in parts.
