American poet; born in Boston, MA, on the 10th of August 1821; partially completed a collegiate course at Harvard University; graduated at the law school of that institution in 1842, and in 1845 was admitted to the Suffolk bar. In 1860 he published in Boston, and afterward in London, a volume of verses, many of which were marked by a delicate poetic insight and grace. He was the personal friend and correspondent of Tennyson, being the fortunate possessor of the manuscript of Locksley Hall, a friendly tribute from the poet. He died in Boston on the 14th of May 1877. See also “Rhotruda.”
