I have come into the world where all is dead around me. Ah! if I had only known that this world was so cold and dull, I should not have made efforts which almost destroyed me, to break the roof and leave my narrow house."

The eldest, whose name was Willie, took me, the evening before thanksgiving day, and, having dressed himself up in some of the cook's dirty old clothes, and hung a basket on his arm, put me over his shoulders, and I went begging of all the neighbors for something to keep thanksgiving with. He disguised his voice by putting cotton wool in his mouth, and I wonder myself how I came to know him. Ordering Instructions Download Adobe Reader and install it on your computer.

Features Vita Charles Follen Brief life of a vigorous reformer: 1796-1840 by Thomas S. Hansen Student revolutionary, Follen's radicalism culminated in his support of fellow student Carl Ludwig Sand, who in 1819 murdered the Russophile diplomat and dramatist August von Kotzebue, who had publicly ridiculed the students' ideas. Follen destroyed letters that linked him to Sand, but his notorious commitment to violence in the name of freedom caused the historian Heinrich von Treitschke to label him "the German Robespierre." He escaped to Switzerland, but, fearing extradition, fled to New York in 1824. The Marquis de Lafayette aided him with introductions to prominent Americans. The 1841 portrait engraving of Follen appeared as the frontispiece of Eliza Follen's edition of her husband's works. Photomontage by Bartek Malysa.

Arthur's Classic Novels Two Festivals By Mrs. Follen With Illustrations by Billings and others May Morning And New Year's Eve. It is the evening before the first of May, and the boys are looking forward to a May-day festival with the children in the neighborhood. Mrs. Chilton read aloud these beautiful lines of Milton: Now the bright morning star, Day's harbinger, Comes dancing from the east, and loads with her The flowery May, who from her green lap throws The yellow cowslip, and the pale primrose. Hail beauteous May that dost inspire Mirth, and youth, and warm desire; Woods and groves arc of thy dressing, Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing. Thus we salute thee with our early song, And welcome thee, and with thee long. "I think he must have felt as glad when he wrote it," said Harry, "as I hope to feel tomorrow. 'Comes dancing from the east' how beautiful it is! What a pity he ever lost his sight!" "Milton," said the mother, "made such a good use of his eyes while he could see, that he laid up stores of beautiful images, which he remembered when he could no longer use his bodily eyes. The poetry he wrote when he was blind shows the most accurate observation of the outward appearances of things, of shades of color, and of all those beauties which only sight could have taught him. It is worth while, boys, for you to imitate him in this, while you admire his poetry."

He had followed it way up to the place where it started. And all the time he had been studying and studying to make sure that he wanted to stay in the Green Forest. In the first place, he had to be sure that there was plenty of the kind of food that he likes. Then he had to be equally sure that he could make a pond near where this particular food grew. Last of all, he had to satisfy himself that if he did make a pond and build a home, he would be reasonably safe in it.

Born the son of a counselor-at-law and judge in Germany, Follen was in 1818 awarded a Doctor of Civil Law degree and was appointed to a lectureship on jurisprudence at the University of Giessen in Germany. He was suspected, though never convicted, of intrigue when a fanatical friend assassinated a Russophile diplomat. Facing possible imprisonment, he escaped to Switzerland before fleeing to the United States in 1824. Letters of introduction by General Lafayette helped his acceptance in Boston. In 1828 he married Eliza Lee Cabot, daughter of Samuel and Sarah Cabot of Boston. In 1829 Follen taught German at Harvard and wrote a

Rowson arrived in America when she was six, but her father was a Loyalist and during the Revolution they were returned to England. Not long after her marriage to William Rowson, Susanna returned to America and settled in Boston where they both acted at the Federal Street Theatre. For the five years following 1796, she performed 129 different parts in 126 productions, many of which she wrote herself. Her next venture was to set up a Young Ladies Academy in 1797 near the theater. Rowson moved the school out of Boston but later returned. Her academy was one of the first to offer girls education above the elementary level and included instruction in music and public speaking. Another woman playwright whose plays were performed at the Federal Street Theatre in 1795 and 1796 was Judith Sargent Murray (see D24). Her satirical plays

"Follen has left us a legacy of social action based on the principle of freedom. It's a principle that we continue to test ourselves against," said Lucinda Duncan, minister of the Follen Community Church of East Lexington, the church that Follen founded in 1839. Born in Darmstadt, Germany, Follen came of age under the influence of the Napoleonic Wars and their repressive aftermath. He and his generation saw French domination come to an end, only to be replaced by a resumption of aristocratic rule instituted by the Congress of Vienna.
