Edward Tyrrel Channing:
William Ellery Channing's younger brother, a professor. An excerpt:
There is general agreement that he was a most
successful teacher of the art of writing, and that, as Colonel Higginson
says, Channing “turned out more good writers than any half-dozen other
rhetoric teachers in America.” Among his pupils were Emerson, Edward
Everett Hale, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Holmes, Lowell, Motley,
Parkman, George Ripley, W. L. Furness, and Andrew Preston Peabody, the
last of whom considers Channing’s appointment as “perhaps the most
important ever made in the interest of American literature."
