For the New York Tribune review by John Hay, see 26 Jan 72 to Redpathclick to open link. When Clemens lectured in Boston the previous November, he got a warm reception from his audience but only a tepid one from the press, and therefore felt he had not had a “Boston triumph” ( L4 , 484–85). If Redpath succeeded in having Hay’s notice reprinted in some Boston paper, it was neither the Evening Transcript nor the Advertiser. Redpath may have been preparing the next issue of the Lyceum Magazine (dated July, but available in June), which included both a list of lecturers available and “Lyceum Circulars” for more than thirty of them. Circulars consisted very largely of quotations from press notices. No circular for Mark Twain was included, but he was listed with two lecture subjects (“Roughing It” and a “New lecture, not yet named”), even though Redpath explained that “Mr. Clemens has not decided yet whether he shall enter the field this season or not. We shall be able to announce in July his decision to correspondents who apply for him” ( Lyceum 1872, 5).
