LIFE, TRAVELS, AND LITERARY CAREER
OF
BAYARD TAYLOR.
“Crown Love, crown Truth when first her brow appears,
And crown the hero when his deeds are done:
The Poet’s leaves are gathered one by one.
In the slow process of the doubtful years.
Who seeks too eagerly, he shall not find:
Who seeking not pursues with single mind
Art’s lofty aim, to him will she accord,
At her appointed time, the sure reward.”

Love built his living shrine.”
“For she is lost; but she, the later bride,
Who came my ruined fortune to restore;
Back from the desert wanders at my side,
And leads me home once more.”
—Poet’s Journal.

PREFACE.
It is a solemn yet pleasant duty to compile in comprehensiveorder the records of a life so eventful and influentialas that of Bayard Taylor. It is solemn, because the sadtears which began to flow at his death, are coursing freelystill. Pleasant, because there is no task more satisfactorythan that of recounting the deeds of a virtuous, industrious,heroic life. No test-book of morals, or of general history,is so effective in educating the young as the annals of well-spentyears, gathered for that purpose. There is more orless influence in fables and mythological tales; and there isconsiderable power in a well written, skilfully plotted workof fiction; but the direct and unavoidable appeal of a noblelife, which has closed with honor and deserved renown, isfar more potent and pe
