To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His fellow professor Long- fellow had become famous ; and so had Haw- 47 thorne ; and so, too, had Lowell and Whittier.
But Holmes seemed to have no desire for fame.
He had written a few amusing poems, and delivered some lectures.
But when the Atlantic Monthly was about to be started, all the literary folk turned to Holmes and said, ' ' That jolly old fellow could write something good, if he only would. " The young publishers, Phillips & Sampson, were enthusiastic about the new magazine. Lowell... was chosen editor, and Francis H. Underwood was assistant, though the idea was originally his.
They called in Longfellow and Emerson, and Motley and Holmes. This distinguished company met at a dinner and talked over the new project.
Holmes suggested the name Atlantic Monthly.
Longfellow would contribute a poem now and then, and Emerson an essay from time to time ; but poems and essays do not fill up a magazine very fast. So Lowell determined to get some- thing from Holmes, some light, gossipy prose, that should continue on from month to month.
