Review of James Russell Lowell - Conversations on Some of the

attributed
to Poe by H&C as "reprint." W. D. Hull attributes this and two
other
reviews of the book (January 11 and 25) to C. F. Briggs, based
primarily
on Brigg's January 22, 1845 letter to Lowell in which he admitted "I
shall
think better of you myself for knowing that you can feel so strongly
and
write so harshly, it justifies the opinion that I expressed of you in
my
notice of your 'Conversations' . . ." As further evidence, it was
not marked by Poe in the copy of the BJ that he gave to S. H.
Whitman.
It is omitted by Pollin.)

who

hoped would prove personally beneficial.)

- Poem
- "Dream-Land"
(revised reprint) (p. 407)
(Unsigned)
- Criticism - "Reviews" and "Books Lately Received"
(rejected) (Hull
attributes
the two items in these sections of this issue to Briggs. There appear
to
be no reviews by Poe in this issue. If one accepts the statement of
Thomas
Dunn English, who by 1846 had become his bitter enemy, Poe had promised
to deliver a new poem before the Philomathean and Eucleian Societies of
New York University, but finding himself uninspired began to get
frustrated,
and "as he always does when troubled — drank until intoxicated; and
remained
in a state of intoxication during the week" (T. D. English, Morning
Telegraph, June 23, 1846). This event would have been about June
24,
as noted by The Poe Log, p. 540. It may also be that Poe was
preoccupied
with the publication by Wiley & Putnam of his Tales, which
was
released on June 25, 1845.)
