HENRY CABOT LODGE COPY. Higginson was "a remarkable combination of the courageous man of action and the true scholar (sapientia et fortitudo), and in his life and work exemplified his own high ideals. He had a fine critical capacity...abundant sympathy, and a delightful sense of humor. His style is graceful and pleasant but lacks fire, His essays are his best work.
