Shaxbspbabb. INTRODUCTORY NOTE. On the day when Mr. Longfellow wrote the last lines of Evangeline he noted in his diary: " Now for a little prose ; a romance which I have in my brain — Kavanagh by name." This was February 27, 1847, and the book was published May 12, 1849. At that time he wrote of it : " Peo...- ple think it is not long enough. But why beat out one's ideas into thin leaf ?

He began it, indeed, immediately after finishing Evangeline^ but ap- pears to have worked at it in a very desultory fashion until the autumn of 1848. He records in his diary under date of October 3, 1848 : " Still the imprisoning rain ; but to-day welcome, thrice welcome. Sat by the fireside in the library and wrote in Kavanagh^ to my own great satisfaction and delight." On the 31st of the same month, he wrote : " Kavanagh is nearly completed.
