SATURDAY, JUDY 21. 1860. Thomas Hood.# Fifteen years ago the author of « The Song of ,the. Shirt” departed this life, and few au thors were more sincerely lamented, pot, be cause he hod a largo Boclal elide,' tor bis acquaintances were fawV owing to bad health and his long absence from England, .but be cause he had touched the sympathies of the great Anglo-Saxon race, .and was admitted, bctore his death, to be a man oi undoubted genius and a generoushumanlty which grasped the, suflerlng, the wronged, and the weak to its very heart ot hearts. Thomas Hood waa more than a mere jester and humorat.:: hla “ Song of the Shirt” and hl3 « Sfghs” are tender and tearful, and eyed reli gious in thought and tone. Two qKftdren survive him, and with true filial dutwp’they have produced the book whose name heads this article. They give .Memorials i&d Re membrances of their father, and liberally throw' In a great deal of his correspondence with intimate friends. In a modest and agreeable preface, Thomas Hood,' junior, says:. . - “We are the better enabled to preparettheSo me morials, because we were never separated, Sir any length of time; from our - parents, neither of ns having been sent to a in otor earlier years oonfined to- that edifyingdom.itio Botany Bay—the Nursery—where ohlldipn grow np by the pattern of unwashed, uneducated, hired servants. How opr father ever made of ins' com panions, and was ready In retnrn to be 00r -pl*y foilow, will be mentioned elsewhere.” ‘ Each chapter, with the exception of-two, contains the events of a year. Tbe book is liberally enriched with vignettea rapidly dashed oil by Hood’s facile hand to amuse bis children, and are pictorial puns. The larger illustrations aro Hood’s Monument at Kenebi Green Cemetery, copies Of.tlio bas-reliefs upon the same, and a fac-simile of the first drought of some portion of “ The Song of the Shirt.” - ' ; Let ns briefly reword tho lending events in Hoo'd’s life.- was a bookseller in London, whero .he Jiimself was bom on the 23d May, 1738. He }bst his father in .his thirteenth year' and picked np a pretty good education—English dud Arithmetic, Latin and French—before he was fifteen, when ho took a clerkship in the office ot a Russia merchant in London, but, his health failing, waa sent to Dundee, a seaport -in Scotland, and read a great deal In the two years he remained there. Retaming to London, in good health, Thomas Hood was apprenticed to an engraver, but, at the age of 22, he was seduced into the literary profession, by an offer to act as sub-edltot'.of tho London Magazine, a famous periodical, some forty years ago, in which Charles Lamb published his Essays by Elia, Carlyle his Lifo‘ of Schiller, and Do Qutncoy hit Confessions of an English Opium-Eater. While in Scot-' land ho had written for two local publica tions. His connection with tho London Magazine introduced him tp Up qoblo army of contribu tors —many of whom remained Wo life-long irlends, particularly Charles Lamb, who had a warm affection for him. Hood’s chief Maga zine work was to correct the proot-Bhoets, look over articles sent for inEertioti. snd,, concoct humorous .notices and ao6S'em ; fp fei»ginar>'. correspondents in the tion'e Head, - lfoaro told “his.first original paper ap peared in tho number for July, 1821, volt ivy p. 85,'in some verses •To Mppe.’- .1 find near thing more of his until Ndveßibernf the same year, when bis humorous < Odo to Dr. Kitche ner ’ appeared in tho Lion’s Mead, of that month; • a poem, < Tho Departure of Sum ffjej-,’ jp fhe body of tho number, p. 498; and *A Sentimental Journey f.oia IcMpgioh to- Waterloo Bridgn,’ in the samo number, p. SQB, From that time he became a regular con tributor, and ofl many a 3 twenty-four more pa pers of various }ti|]dB appeared, the last befog ‘ I. in as to a Gold Beauty,’ in June, 1823, after which time I find no further production of his pep.”' )'P e ? epfit'o'i “ Tb° P°ath f}ed ” appeared in tho Englishman's Magazine, in 1832, and not, as has been stated, in the. Lon don. They commentm i ”Wp watciis d b er brsatbins through 'lie and were composed on tho occasion of the death of his sister. In 1821, while he wee learning how to write as magazine sub-editor, Hood made the acquaintance of the late John Hamilton Reynolds, conjointly with whom he wrote and anonymously “ Odes and Addresses toGreatFeopie.”Coleridge aitrit>ute4thegetp thopen ofCbarles Lamb. In 1821, Hood married his friend Reynolds’ sister. Their daughter, in the Memorials, adds “ In spito of all the sick peps aii(} sorrow that formed the greatest por tion of the after-part of their lives, the union was a happy one. My mother was a woman of cultivated mind and literary tastes, and jyej| sip ted to him as a companion. He had such confidence In her Judgnjenf fjiaf |ie reat}, and re-yead, apd corrected with her all that ho wrote, jifapy of his articjea wero first dic tated to her, ana her ready memory supplied him with his references and quotations. He fVefjqenfly dictated the first draught ot his ar tfejes, a]fhongb tjjey wepe plways finally copied out in his pecpllarly cioar, peat writing, jvhich waa #o iegiblp' pnjf good, tlipt it was once or twice begged by printers, to teach their com positors a first and easy lesson in reading handwriting. Of late my mother’s time and thoughts were, entirely devoted.to him, and ho bepapio fejjlep,} and almost seemed unable to write unless she wero near.” Bbe did not )opg survive per husbapd. ! Three volumes of “ Whim* anil Oddities” appeared in }8?(K8, and at this time also were published « National Tales” in two volumes, and n thoughtful, classical, serious poem << Tho Plea of the Midsummer Fairies.” Tho two last named works had very moderate buc gess, There is bape mention, it) the f'Hernoriuls,’' of Hood's having edited an Annual called “Tho Gom,” in 1829, yet in this volume that noblo poem “ The Dream of Eugene Aram” was first given to the world. In 1829, Hood commenced tho “Comic Annual,” which was continued for nine yenrs, and, with a few exceptions in the first volume, was entirely Horn his own pen nnd pencil. In this year, too, Hood’e comic poem of “ Tho Epping Hunt,” was pujlished, with amusing illustrations by tieorgo Cruiksimnk, which greatly amused the publit at the ex pense ot tho Cocltney sportsmen. In 1831, ho went to resid e In the country, at TVanstead, In Essex, whoro he tvroto “Tjlnoy Hall,” his only completed work of prose fiction, published In 1831, and In the following year, his affairs becoming deranged Ty tho pecuni ary involvements ot others, Hold took up his residence iu Coblontz, in Prussia, where he resided threo years. His health got affected by a short previous stay in marshy Holland. After quitting Coblontz, bo passed three years at Ostend, and finally returned to Eng land in tho autumn of 1810, vith his health seriously injured, and tho conviction, too slowly acquired, that he might have resided, at less expense, in tho health'eflt part of Eng land than, with nil Its boastid cheapness, his German living cost him. All the time Hood was ali'oad, he wrote a Comte Annual every season, and the profits, though not great, afforded a competence to a man of his iuoxpensivo habits. Ho also published “ Hood’s Own,” partly containing now articles, including his autobiography. In 1889, << Up tho Ithlno,” oontneuced at Cob lentz in 1838, was published—but without any much greater advantage to its author than in creased reputation, for the publisher dealt un fairly with him. But he got engagements to write for the New Monthly' Magazine, and other periodicals, and, in 1811, on tho death ot Theodore Hook, was appointed editor of tho New Monthly, with £BOO a year saltry, and 11- beral payment besides for his own contribu tions, Here, by the way, under date July, •Memorials of Thom o * Hood.
