s a species of comedy in the broader sense has already been spoken of in connection with the treatment of certain comic themes. Payne developed a form of farce largely from foreign sources, and W. E. Burton, by the development of farcical characters like the Toodles out of material whose history goes back to sentimental domestic drama, scored one of his greatest popular successes. The dramatization of American novels calls for a word of comment here. The work of Cooper, W. G. Simms, J. P. Kennedy, C. F. Hoffman, R. M. Bird, T. S. Fay, Mrs. Stowe, and others, was quickly placed on the stage. It will be noticed that it was chiefly in the sphere of the romance that this was the case, Cooper being the prime favourite. Though this work was rarely done by a dramatist of distinction, it was often popular. What impresses one most in a survey of these types of drama is the evidence of organic growth. It is possible to trace in the development of the drama in this country before the

y best be remembered as an author whose faults and virtues combined to make him exclusively and eminently national. Salmagundi was but one of a number of hopeful productions issued by two or three young men in combination or even by literary clubs after the traditional fashion of periodical essays. In 1818-19 a Baltimore society, which claimed Wirt as a member, printed a fortnightly leaflet called The red Book, containing, besides verse, occasional papers by the future novelist, John Pendleton Kennedy. See also Book II, Chap. VII. William Tudor, one of the Monthly Anthology Club of Boston, and first editor of The North American review, collected his Miscellanies in 1821, and in that and the following year a more original member of the same coterie, the elder Richard Henry Dana, See also Book II, Chap. v. edited and mainly wrote the six numbers of The idle man, perhaps the most notable competitor of Irving's Sketch Book. Much of Dana's work may be paralleled elsewhere; the

Of excellent Virginia connectigh in the War of 1812 and been admitted to the bar, Kennedy lived as merrily as Irving in the chosen circles of plantation. Although the story counts for little, Kennedy's easy humour and real skill at description and theryland, are nearer Cooper, with the difference that Kennedy depended, as he had done in Swallow Barn, on fact no have approved the record as authentic. Decidedly Kennedy's gift was for enriching actual events with a finerife of William Wirt (1849), substantial biography. Kennedy's range of friendship with other authors was wide;

In the summer of 1835, Poe went to Richmond to assist in the editing of The Southern literary Messenger, and before the end of the year he had been promoted to be editor-in-chief of that magazine. He was now fairly launched on his career as man of letters. In the columns of the Messenger he republished, with slight man was more quickly touched by a kindness, none more prompt to make return for an injury, and, further, that he was the soul of honour in all his transactions. Kennedy notes that he was irregular, eccentric, and querulous, but adds—as if in set rejoinder to Griswold's charge that he was incapable of gratitude for service done—th

don and Paris for a decade or so after their first appearance. George P. Morris (1802-64), See also Book II, Chap. V. one of the founders of The New York Mirror, collected in 1838 a volume of his sketches of New York life; the leading one, called The little Frenchman and his water Lots, is a pathetic but graphic account of a little French merchant duped by a Manhattan real estate dealer. The Annals of Quodlibet, a political satire by Solomon Secondthought, schoolmaster (1840), by John Pendleton Kennedy, has been treated elsewhere in this history. See Book II, Chap. VII. The influence of Dickens is potent in Charcoal sketches or scenes in a metropolis (1840), by Joseph Clay Neal (1807-47), whose work was seen through the press in England by Dickens himself. Of more importance in these times was Georgia scenes (1835), a series of inimitable and clear—cut pictures of the rude life of the South-east, by Augustus Baldwin Longstreet (1790– 1870). Longstreet, who was the son of a
