Among My Books. Second Series by James Russell Lowell is about a variety of incredibly talented writers and poems as their lives proceed from Lowell's imagination. Excerpt: "On the banks of a little river so shrunken by the suns of summer that it seems fast passing into a tradition, but swollen by the autumnal rains with an Italian suddenness of passion till the massy bridge shudders under the impatient heap of waters behind it, stands a city which, in its period of bloom not so large as Boston, may well rank next to Athens in the history which teaches come l' uom s' eterna."

In addition, they compare European, mainly English, writers with those in the United States and the system of slavery.
