LIGHTHALL WILLIAM DOUW, born 1857. His _Songs of the Great Dominion_, a collection of verse by various Canadian writers, attracted considerable attention in this kingdom. His works are, _An Analysis of the Altruistic Act_, _Sketch of a New Utilitarianism_, _Thoughts, Moods, and Ideas_ (a collection of verse), and a novel, _The Young Seigneur_. He has paid little attention to humorous writing. LOCKE, DAVID ROSS, “PETROLEUM V. NASBY” (1833-1888). A political humorist and satirical writer, whose works have left their impression on American political life. He was editor of the _Toledo Blade_. His principal published works are, _Swinging Round the Circle_, _The Moral History of Americans Little Struggle_, and _A Paper City_. LOGAN, JOHN E., a Canadian who, under the _nom de guerre_ of “Barry Dane,” has written some clever humorous pieces. _See_ Lighthall’s _Songs of the Great Dominion_. LONGSTREET, AUGUSTUS BALDWIN (1790-1870), in turn a lawyer, legislator, judge, editor, Methodist minister, college president, and farmer. He was a ready and brilliant speaker, and an industrious writer of humour and pathos. His _Georgia, Scenes, Characters, and Incidents_, first published in periodicals, and afterwards collected in book form, were widely read. The papers are full of humour, rather broad, but it is said by those who know, truly characteristic of the place and period. LOW, SAMUEL, born 1765. Author of two volumes of poetry, containing many pieces of a humorous character.
