eaches kindred spirits below the surface on which intellect and passion have their play, something more primitive, indeed, than human intellect or passion and belonging to another mode of being, something rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun. A picture of the Knickerbocker era is not complete without its portraits of the minor figures in the literary life of New York up to the time of the Civil War. But the scope of the present volume does not permit sketches of Paulding and Verplanck, of Halleck and his friend Drake, of N. P. Willis and Morris and Woodworth. Some of these are today only single-poem men, like Payne, the author of Home sweet home, just as Key, the author of The star-spangled banner, is today a single-poem man of an earlier generation. Their names will be found in such limbos of the dead as Griswold's Poets and poetry of America and Poe's Literati. They knew the town in their day, and pleased its very easily pleased taste.

pon it; to be guided by it: and will not this be a strong means to improve the relations of friendship between the two countries? Will it not be one of the instruments wherewith to beat down the hydra-headed prejudice that prevails with regard to us in England? Ever and ever yours, Charles Sumner. From New York he wrote to Hillard, Jan. 24, 1841:— Felton and Longfellow arrived yesterday. I have had some pleasant dinners, seen some handsome women, and been to two balls. I like Halleck very much; have met him twice at dinner. He is clever, and much to the point in conversation. Cogswell inquired after you. He is as gay as ever. I met Theodore Sedgwick at dinner at the Coldens' (Mrs. Jeffrey's family). He appeared admirably. He is the cleverest and most gentlemanly person I have seen in New York, To Dr. Francis Lieber.

te for large experience, here is the metropolis of a continent! It was the New York of Bryant, Halleck, and Willis to which he had come; it was under Willis's wing that he came to know the literary ses in fiction. After these episodes, however, it must be owned that an anticlimax follows in Halleck's discovery that his New England conscience will now forever hold him from Marcia because he haoved about erratically, but he settled finally in New York in 1819, gave Italian lessons (Fitz-Greene Halleck was one of his pupils), again opened a book shop, and helped in 1825 to bring over Garcig by his pen in New York. The lives of Richard Dabney, Percival, See Book II, Chap. V. and Halleck Ibid. throw a strong light upon the rewards of authorship during the first four decades of theough possessed of a thin strain of genius, were constantly in desperate straits on Grub Street.

V. James Fenimore Cooper Cooper, whose name is with his country's woven First in her ranks; her Pioneer of mind. These were the words in which Fitz-Greene Halleck designated Cooper's substantial precedence in American novel-writing. Apart from this mere priority in time,--he was born at Burlington, New Jersey, September 15, 1789, and died at Cooperstown, New York, September 14, 1851,--he rendered the unique service of inaugurating three especial classes of fiction,--the novel of the American Revolution, the Indian novel, and the sea novel. In each case he wrote primarily for his own fellow countrymen, and achieved fame first at their hands; and in each he produced a class of works which, in spite of their own faults and of the somewhat unconciliatory spirit of their writer, have secured a permanence and a breadth of range unequaled in English prose fiction, save by Scott alone. To-day the sale of his works in his own language remains unabated; and one has only to look

ere also settlers in Block Island. I remember having seen the poet Sands in my childhood, a rather awkward, near-sighted man. His life was not a long one. A sister of his, Julia Sands, wrote a biographical sketch of her brother, and was spoken of as a literary woman. William Cullen Bryant resided in New York many years. He took a prominent part in politics, but mingled little in general society, being much absorbed in his duties as editor of the Evening Post. I first heard of Fitz-Greene Halleck as the author of various satirical pieces of verse relating to personages and events of nearly eighty years ago. He is now best remembered by his Marco Bozzaris, a noble lyric which we have heard quoted in view of recent lamentable encounters between Greek and Barbarian. Among the lecturers who visited New York, I remember Professor Silliman of Yale College, Dr. Follen, who spoke of German literature, George Combe, and Mr. Charles Lyell.
