'an-answered'-->'answered': It was a timid performance upon a slender reed, but the great performers in the noble orchestra of writers answered to its appeal, which won me a seat in their ranks.

'Gary'-->'Cary': The story of his life and work is beautifully told in the "Life and Correspondence" published soon after his death by his widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Cary Agassiz, well known to-day as the president of Radcliffe College.

'spoken or'-->'spoken of': The young man whom I saw at this time was spoken of as much devoted to the turf, and the only saying of his that I have ever heard quoted was his question as to how long it took Nebuchadnezzar to get into condition after he had been out to grass.

'sum'-->'summer': spends the summer of 1841 near Boston: visits the Perkins Institution.

'Vermoechtniss'-->'Vermaechtniss': "Die Zeit ist mein Vermaechtniss, mein Acker ist die Zeit."

The index entries for 'William Ellery Channing', the preacher, referred to on pp. 144 and 416; and the poet, referred to on p. 370, were separated.]
