On the evening of the 6th of June, 1845, her Majesty, who was at Buckingham Palace for the season, gave another great costume ball, still remembered as her Powder Ball a name bestowed on it because of the universally-worn powder on hair and periwigs.
The substance of Browning's reply was to the effect, "I will call at two on Tuesday." They met on May 20, 1845. A short time afterwards he had fallen in love with her and made her an offer of marriage. To a person in the domestic atmosphere of the Barretts, the incident would appear to have been paralysing.
And we give him warning that much will be expected of one who at his years has already shown himself capable of so much. Poe's life and works was written at his own request, and accompanied a portrait of him published in Graham's Magazine for February, 1845. The situation of American literature is anomalous. It has no centre, or, if it have, it is like that of the sphere of Hermes.

In the year 1832, about the close of the Black Hawk War, the tonnage of the Lakes was only 7,000 tons. In 1845 it had increased to 132,000 tons, and in 1858 it was 404,301 tons. Or, if we take Chicago, the chief city of the Lakes, we find that her imports and exports were,
Yet Cooper in his day was idolised: he had a fame as high, if not as widely spread, as that of Henry Irving or Edwin Booth at present. William Creswick lately dead at an advanced age in London was seen upon the New York stage as Shylock in 1840; Macready in 1841; Charles Kean in 1845. With the latter, Ellen Tree played Portia.
William Moon, of London, about 1845, and is called Moon type. The characters are large and distinct, many of them being shaped like the ordinary printed letters.
