Stoddard returned the favor a few years later when he helped Herman Melville procure the same job. Stoddard is the author of several volumes, including Footprints (1849); The King's Bell (1863); The Book of the East and Other Poems (1871); and Recollections, Personal and Literary (1903).2 pagesEnglishNO COPYRIGHT - UNITED STATESBates, Arlo, 1850-1918Vose, George L.
