E. Willis, M.D., of Boston, in 1858. She was for some years one of the editors of _The Banner of Light_, Boston, and of _Tiffany’s Monthly Magazine_, and was a frequent contributor to these and other periodicals. She wrote a number of hymns, one of which, beginning, _Father, hear the Prayer I offer_ (Aspiration) was published in _Tiffany’s Monthly_ in 1859. In Longfellow and Johnson’s _Hymns of the Spirit_, 1864, it was considerably rewritten, with the opening line changed to read, _Father, hear the prayer we offer_, and was cited as “Anon.” This 1864 text came into considerable use in various collections in England, and was included in _The English Hymnal_ as late as 1906. It has also had wide use in America and will be found in almost all Unitarian hymn books since 1864, most recently in the _New Hymn and Tune Book_, 1914, and in _Hymns of the Spirit_, 1937.

A journalist and editor, he wrote for the _American Monthly_ and the _New York Mirror_. From 1831 to 1837 he was in Europe attached to the American Legation at the French Court. On his return he became, in 1839, one of the editors of _The Corsair_. His works are numerous and include _Sacred Poems_, 1843. His hymn _The perfect world by Adam trod_, was “Written to be sung at the Consecration of Hanover Street [Unitarian] Church, Boston,” in 1826. It was included in Hedge and Huntington’s _Hymns for the Church of Christ_, 1853, and in a good many other collections, although of no exceptional merit. J. 1285 H.W.F.
