Excerpt from Thomas Wentworth Higginson
The scene of A Moonglade, the clos ing sketch in the little volume, The Pro cession of the Flowers, is laid at New port. The other essays in that charming collection were written at Worcester, and Lake Quinsigamond gets into most of them. Their very titles, April Days, My Outdoor Study, Water Lilies, 'the Life of Birds - show that they properly belong among the Outdoor Papers; and in the volume so entitled they finally found place. This volume is the best expression of Colonel Higgin son as an outdoor man; for, like Lowell, he was always emphatically that, a man of the fields and woods as much as a man of the library. He was the most red blooded and rural of scholars, loving birds quite as well as books, and carry ing into the garden and on to the hills the instinct and talent of the naturalist as truly as the love and sympathy of the poet. He was as much at home presiding at a meeting of the Appalachian Moun tain Club or the Massachusetts Bicycle Club as 'n reading a paper before the historic-genealogical Society.
