was attributed to Emerson in the later book called _Hymns of the Spirit_, 1937, probably mistakenly. These verses are listed as Emerson’s in Granger’s _Index to Poetry and Recitations_, under _A Nation’s Strength_, and Granger states that they are to be found in a publication of The Penn Publishing Company of Philadelphia. They are not to be found, however, in the _Centenary Edition of Emerson’s Poems_ nor in Hubbell’s _Concordance to the poems of Emerson_ (N. Y., Wilson, 1932). It is therefore doubtful whether the attribution to Emerson is well-founded. J. 329 Revised by H.W.F. Everett, William, Watertown, Massachusetts, October 10, 1839—February 16, 1910, Quincy, Massachusetts. Son of Hon. Edward Everett. He graduated from Harvard College in 1859; took the B.A. degree at Cambridge University, England, in 1863; and the degrees of A.M. and LL. B. at Harvard in 1865. He received the honorary degree of Litt.D. from Williams College in 1889 and the degree of LL.D. from the same college in 1893 and from Dartmouth in 1901. After graduation from the Harvard Law School he did not enter the legal profession but served the College as tutor and then Assistant Professor of Latin for several years. In 1872 the Boston Association of Ministers licensed him as a lay preacher and thereafter he spoke frequently in Unitarian pulpits in New England, but he was never ordained as a settled minister. He served Adams Academy in Quincy, Massachusetts as headmaster from 1877 to 1907, with an interruption of two years when in 1893 he was elected a member of the House of Representatives in Washington. In 1866 _The Christian Register_ printed his hymn beginning _Deal gently with us, Lord_, and three years later he wrote “for the Unitarian Festival at the Music Hall [Boston], May 27, 1869” a hymn beginning _Almighty Father, Thou didst frame_ These hymns, and four others by him, are included in Putnam’s _Singers and Songs, Etc._ J. 1634 H.W.F.
