Henry Wadsworth Longfellow writes in his journal:
In the evening, F. [Frances Appleton Longfellow] read [Ralph Waldo] Emerson’s lecture on “War” in Miss Peabody’s Æsthetic Papers, a very clever periodical. Also Thoreau’s account of his one night in Concord jail. Both extremely good.
(The Life of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 2:142-143)
