REPORT. To the Legislature of Maine : In obedience to the provisions of the statutes, the Librarian of the Maine State Library respectfully presents his annual report for the year ending Dec. 31st, 1813. The means available for the increase of the library, and for ex­ penses during the year, were the balance from the previous year, of eight hundred and seventy-one dollars, and the appropriation of five hundred dollars, making a total amount of thirteen hundred and seventy-one dollars. The expenditure for the purchase of books for the library, and incidental expenses for the same period, have been eight hundred and fifty-seven dollars, leaving a balance now on hand of five hun­ dred and fourteen dollars. The additions to the library for the year, from all sources, have been ten hundred and forty-nine volumes and pamphlets. Of these there were acquired by purchase, two hundred and ninety-six vol­ umes; by donations, two hundred and twenty-eight volumes and pamphlets ; and by exchange, five hundred and twenty-five vol­ umes and pamphlets. The amount expended in the purchase of books has been ex­ pended in procuring standard works in law, science and general literature. The catalogue herewith communicated, contains a full exhibit of the additions made during the year. The books are all in good condition, and well arranged upon the shelves. During the year quite a large number of books have passed through the hands of the binders. Some were books and magazines bought and donated in paper covers, and newly bound ; the balance were old books repaired and rebound. This work has been well and neatly done, so that this class of books makes a good appearance upon the shelves. It will be observed that our volume of exchanges is constantly on the increase. We now exchange our laws, reports, and docu- 8 STATE LIBRARY. men ts with nearly every State in the Union, and with Canada. I have taken much pains to keep up this exchange, and to enlarge it. I hope the present year to be able to secure exchanges with all the States. · Canada is very liberal with us in exchanges, send­ ing to the library many very valuable books. The books which are received by exchange are of incalculable value. We have received, as will be noticed, many very valuable books by donation. To all those who have donated books to the library, my grateful acknowledgments are tendered for their generous gifts. I have no special recommendations to make, feeling confident that you fully appreciate the necessity of a well supplied library, and that the same generous support which has been extended to it heretofore, will be continued, thus enabling the library to increase in usefulness from year to year, and continue to be an honor and a benefit to the State.

DANIEL AARON THE LEGACY OF HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW Once upon a time (and it wasn’t so long ago), the so-called “household” or “Fire-Side” poets pretty much made up what Barrett Wendell of Harvard University called “the literature of America.” Wendell devoted almost half of his still readable survey, published in 1900, to New England writers. Some of them would shortly be demoted by a new generation of critics, but at the moment, they still constituted “American literature” in the popular mind. The “Boston constellation” — that was Henry James’s term for them — had watched the country coalesce from a shaky union of states into a transcontinental nation. They had lived through the crisis of civil war and survived, loved, and honored. Multitudes recognized their bearded benevolent faces; generations of school children memorized and recited stanzas of their iconic poems. Among these hallowed men of letters, Longfellow was the most popular, the most beloved, the most revered.
