 J. E. DOW.
— Among the witnesses attendant on the trial
of Commodore Elliot [[Elliott]], we notice Jesse Erskine Dow, Esq.,
the very clever author of "The Log of Old Ironsides," and fifty other
capital things, in a different vein, which have appeared from time to
time at random in our Magazines. "The Log," it will be remembered, was
for many months the "big fish" of Burton's Gentleman's Magazine. Mr.
Dow, from a sad habit of being always in a hurry, has acquired a
certain free and easy slip-shod sort of a style which ought to be
amended; but he has true and peculiar talent, and as a man there is no
one whom we more highly respect. |
