This article presents information on the book "Thomas Holley Chivers: Friend of Poe," by S. Foster Damon. Lives of unimportant persons are not infrequently investigated with an insane assiduity by the pure scholar, but it is not often, that a litterateur as obscure as Chivers is rewarded with a biography like the present, in which scholarly knowledge is combined with first-rate critical writing. Chivers was born near the town of Washington in the 1809. He took a degree in medicine at a backwoods college, and spent the rest of his life in wandering about the U.S. while composing poetry most obviously remarkable for the original character of its badness.
