Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Halleck, Fitz-greene 1790-1867 (search)
Halleck, Fitz-greene 1790-1867 Poet; born in Guilford, Conn., July 8, 1790; became a clerk in the banking-house of Jacob Barker at the age of eighteen years; and was long a confidential clerk with John Jacob Astor, who made him one of the first trustees of the Astor Library. From early boyhood he wrote verses. With Joseph Rodman Drake, he wrote the humorous series known as The Croker papers for the Evening post in 1819. His longest poem, Fanny, a satire upon the literature and politics of the times, was published in 1821. The next year he went to Europe, and in 1827 his Alnwick Castle, Marco Bozzaris, and other poems were published in a volume. Halleck was a genuine poet, but he wrote comparatively little. His pieces of importance are only thirty-two in number, and altogether Fitz-Greene Halleck. comprise only about 4,000 lines. Yet he wrote with great facility. His Fanny, in the measure of Byron's Don Juan, was completed and printed within three weeks after it was begu

Fitz-Green Halleck When Bryant, pioneer and patriarch, was laid awciates with the brilliant and versatile gentleman of provincial but polished Broadway. Joseph Rodman Drake (1795-1820) and Fitz-Greene Halleck (1790-1867) are remembered first for a romantic youthe time, as Moore and the Smith brothers. Halleck is said to have written the last four lines of Drake's American Flag, a lyric full of the old-fashioned expansive and defiant Americanism, and, with lare of sound, still sure to stir the blood of any one but a professional critic. And it was on Drake, dead at twenty-five, that Halleck wrote what is the tenderest, the manliest little elegy of perered no less for achievements more noteworthy than those of the other minor men in this sketch. Drake's Culprit Fay is the best and in fact the one fairy story in American verse, if we except Bryant

ket and a fixed purpose of rendering at least forty lines out of Greek into English every day. It is a curious fact that he had, like Longfellow, a special gift for foreign languages and liked to translate, and, also like Longfellow, had an occasional impulse toward humor, though the result was never very happy. The Knickerbocker group. Bryant, though sometimes classed among Knickerbocker authors, did not really belong to that clique; not being a native of New York, as were Halleck and Drake, both of whom wrote poems which were declaimed with delight and many gestures by the school-boy of fifty years ago, but which perhaps are no longer heard even in school. The group also included many of those minor writers on whom it cannot be our object to dwell. Among these was George Pope Morrisstill remembered for two or three songsthe editor of the New York Mirror, then the leading literary journal of the nation. Besides being an editor, he held the ornamental position of general of
