Thoreau was for a time Miss Alcott's teacher, but her education was mainly conducted by her father. In 1862 she went to AVashington as a volunteer armj' nurse, and spent many months in the hosi^itals, writing letters to her mother and sister, which were printed in the Bo.-ton Commonwealth. She subseciuently travelled in Europe, and after her return wrote Little Women, which had an instantaneous success, the sales amounting in three years to 87,000 copies. She was a frequent contrib- utor to magazines, &c. Her popularity as a writer for the young has scarcely been exceedid by that of any other American writer.

If Miss Alcott's personages do rather too much and too regularlv point a moral, they also in their way do adorn a tale; anil the readers of her books are exceedingly few, discriminating and nndiscriminating, who have not got from them pleasure.—jVc(/(on, xi. 30.
