Excerpt from A Scholar's Letters to a Young Lady: Passages From the Later Correspondence of Francis James Child When he died the world lost much more than one of its great scholars. So wrote Charles Eliot Norton soon after the death of his classmate, friend, colleague, and kinsman by marriage, Francis James Child, Professor of English in Harvard University; and, to confirm these words, he characterized the great scholar as follows Original, quaint, humor ous, sweet, sympathetic, tender - hearted, faithful, these are the terms which first come to mind in describing him; the traits that these terms imply pervaded all his intelligence, gave character to his work, and made his learning the least part of him.
