Aldrich, Thomas Bailey, [ante, vol. i., add.,] b. 1836, at Portsmouth, N.H.. passed a portion of his early life in Louisiana, and on the death of his father entered the counting-house of an uncle in New York City, where he remained three years and began to write in prose and verse for periodicals. His subsequent career has been wholly literary. He contributed to Putnam's Magazine, the Knickerbocker Magazine, the New York Evening Mirror, and other journals, and was for three years (1856-59) on the staff of N. P. Willis's Home Journal. He was editor of Every Saturday from its commencement until its close in 1874, and in 1881, on the retirement of Mr. Howells from the Atlantic Monthly, succeeded him as editor of that magazine, to which he had for some time been a frequent contributor. As only two of his earliest books are mentioned in vol. i., a full list is here subjoined. 1. The Bells: a Collection of Chimes. By T. B. A. N. York, 1855, 12mo. 2.

"Mr. Aldrich is perhaps entitled to stand at the head of American humourists. The little work in this line he has hitherto done is singularly fresh, original, and delicate. The only fault that can reasonably be urged against it is a certain measure of artifice. It is like a conjuring feat, which loses its interest after it has been often seen and the mechanical trick on which it depends is discovered. In Prudence Palfrey' he attempts to employ in a long story a device which has told admirably in less important experiments. Once more he succeeds."-Ath., No. 2441. 12.

Alexander, Frances, or Francesca, b. in Boston, daughter of Francis Alexander, an American artist, who, after gaining reputation as a portrait-painter, went to Europe, about 1830, and fixed his residence at Florence. Miss Alexander's inherited talent was early developed, and excited the admiration of visitors, her drawings being pronounced by J. L. Motley in 1855 (Correspondence, vol. i. p. 182) superior in facility, grace, and purity to those of any modern artist he had It was not, however, till many years later that Mr. Ruskin's enthusiastic appreciation of her work made the name of "Francesca" widely known. Under his auspices she has published three works, which evince an intimate knowledge of the habits and ideas of the peasantry in the Tuscan valleys, in one or another of which she has been accustomed to spend a portion of each year. 1.

(With Articles by Mr. Ruskin on Domestic Usefulness, the Virtues necessary to Sainthood, the Priestly Office, and Gypsy Character.) Orpington, 1884-88, 10 parts, or 1 vol., medium 4to. "These songs and hymns of the poor people ... are but the giftings, so to say, of hundreds and hundreds which I have heard and learnt, mostly from old people; many of them have never, so far as I know, been written down before, and others it would be impossible now to find. have done my best to save a little of what is passing away." I -Extract from Preface. The figure-drawings of Miss Alexander are simple portraiture, of an artlessness, in every sense of the word, carried to its extreme. Her flower-drawing... is quite unsurpassable in line-work, for all she does is done with the pen.... As for the literary interest which Ruskin has found in Miss Alexander's records of the poetry and life around her, there can be no surprise. Miss Alexander's books (she made another, previous to her acquaintance with Professor Ruskin, which now belongs to Mr. Quincy Shaw) are works of a kind which, from their fidelity to the inspirations and character of the peasant life in which she has found the inspiration of her own, merit perpetuity."-Nation, xxxviii. 472. 3.
