He married in 1849, and, as he sings in a poem to
his wife, found in his happy marriage a refuge
from adversity. From that time he spent nearly
all of his tranquil days in the country, surrounded
by domestic joys, devoting himself to unwearied
labour for the welfare of the Galician peasants.
From his youth upwards their condition had
always been a subject dear to his heart. Their
poverty and misfortunes are the theme of more
than one of his poems, written to awake sympathy
for their lot. For the last seventeen years of his
life he wrote little. But his nation was never for-
gotten. Not long before his death, on the celebra-
tion of his poetical jubilee, he said that life had
deceived him, for it had given him what he had
neither sought nor wished, fame and honours,
but it had withheld from him the one desire of
his heart, the resurrection of Poland. His^place
in Polish literature is that of a greatr lyric poet,
and of a teacher who never ceased to urge the
youth of his nation towards the highest ideals,
personal and national, and to inspire them with
an evergreen hope for the restoration of their
beloved and oppressed nation. These two tenets

of hope and resurrection were his own cherished
and life-long beacon-lights. We may, indeed,
look upon them as being his last testament, the
last words by which he chose to be remembered.
For it was he who raised the inscription over the
gate of the country graveyard near his home,
where his dust was to lie: "They shall rest and
they shall rise. "

? PRESS NOTICES OF
"ADAM MICKIEWICZ, THE NATIONAL
POET OF POLAND"
"Miss Gardner, a devoted and accomplished
student of Polish literature, has performed a con-
siderable service in making better known the life
and work of the most famous of Polish poets. His
pathetic story is told . . . with deep sympathy
by Miss Gardner. . . . Some of her prose render-
ings are of great beauty--often with the wild and
wayward beauty which we associate with Chopin. "
--Manchester Guardian.
"Miss Gardner gives us a remarkably true
picture of the relations between the poet and his
country. . . . Miss Gardner has realized fully
what she attempted, and indeed few countrymen
of the poet could perform the task better. "--
Cambridge Review.
"The work is so admirably done that it would
be welcome, though we had other biographies
or other critical appreciations of the Polish poet.
This remarkable work. . . . "--Tablet.
"This is the first attempt which has been
made in our language to capture the imagination
by a critical study of the fine character and high
achievements of Adam Mickiewicz. Miss Monica
Gardner writes exceedingly well--with know-
ledge, with sympathy, and with vision. "--
Standard.

"Her sympathies with that oppressed nation-
ality, a sinister monument of the triumph of
might over right, and her understanding of the
Polish spirit, make her pages inspiring reading.
Her work will do much to make the fame of a
great poet, already well enough known on the
continent, spread into England. "--Month.
"One would have been grateful for a moderate
biography of Poland's national poet. Miss Gardner's
work merits a more distinguished adjective, and
therefore is doubly worthy of attention. . . She
explains his masterpieces with sympathy and
skill, giving at the same time workmanlike trans-
lations of the more famous passages. "--Athenceum.
"Miss Gardner has not given us a literary book
alone, but the story of a soul, and of a soul which
mirrored in itself the travail and agony of a
nation. . . . This vivid and sympathetic record
. . . . Miss Gardner has done no small service
in making his rare nature and gifts known to the
English world. "--Dublin Review.
"His life Miss Gardner has admirably described.
She is to be congratulated on the courage and
perseverance which have produced such a good
book on a subject which has been too long neg-
lected. "--Times.
"C'est, a notre connaissance, le premier livre
anglais qui traite avec tant d'ampleur et tant
de conscience une question d'histoire litteraire
polonaise. . . . Ce brillant coup d'essai. "--
Bulletin Polonais.
