PAULDING, IRVING, HALLECK, COOPER, BRYANT, AND OTHER NEW YORK AUTHORS. An Address Delivered before the New York Genealogical and Biographi- cal Society, Friday Evening, Nov. ii, 1S92. By General Wilson, President of the Society. With steel portraits of Paulding and Halleck. It has been the speaker's peculiar privilege to have enjoyed more " or less intimacy with the Old Guard" of American authors con- nected with what has been called the " Augustan Age of American Lit- erature," which existed in this city during the decade ending in 1840. All those who will be mentioned in this address have deserted the ranks of those De Quincey described as " the not inconsiderable class of men who have not the' advantage of being dead." Madame de Stael used to say that the highest happiness she had experienced was derived from her conversations and correspondence with great and gifted men. Your speaker is fully disposed to share this belief, and he life, that he has had deems it among the happiest circumstances of his the good fortune to enjoy the friendship of so many endnent literary men, described by Chaucer as " On Fame's eternall bead-roll worthie to be fyled." What has been occasionally designated as the " Knickerbocker Litera- ture " may be defined as the poetry and prose produced in New York during the first half of the nineteenth century by Bryant, Cooper, Drake, Halleck, Hoffman, Irving, Morns, Paulding, Poe, Verplanck, Willis, Woodworth, and others, as essayists, historians, novelists, and poets. Tr.e pioneers among Knickerbocker authors were the friends and literary partners, James K. Paulding and Washington Irving, who " Opinions were joint writers of Salmagundi ; or the Whim-whams and of Launcelot Langstaff, Esq., and Others," a work which appeared in fortnightly numbers from the Shakespeare Gallery of Longworth. It was continued through twenty parts. In " Salmagundi " the humors of the day are hit off in a collection of sunny and good-natured essays, and in so agreeable a manner that the work is still read with interest after the lapse of eighty-five years. The few poems which appear on its pages were written by William Irving, an elder brother of Washing- ton, and the brother-in-law of Faulding, whose sister he had married. " Cockloft Hall," which figures conspicuously in "Salmagundi," is a " 2 Paulding, Irving, Halleck, Cooper, and Bryant. [Jan., veritable mansion on the Passaic River, near Newark, and was so christ- ened by Irving. It is still in a good state of preservation. Nearly ninety years ago it was a favorite resort of its young owner, Gouver- neur Kemble, Paulding, the lrvings, Captain Porter, father of the admiral, Henry Brevoort, and other merry young blades who made the old mansion gay with their fun and frolic. Kemble, in a note to your " speaker, dated February 6, 1872, says : The old place near Newark, ' in New Jersey, christened Cockloft Hall ' by Mr. Irving, was called Mount Pleasant. The house was built by Nicholas Gouverneur, grand- son of Abraham Gouverneur, who married the daughter of Governor Jacob Leisler. Among the first to make a creditable appearance in the field of American literature was James Kirke Paulding (1779-1860). He was also the first of our writers who could be put forth as successfully refuting those critics—chiefly English —who claimed that there was no nationality in our literature. Nationality is the prominent characteristic of all his writings, which appeared almost continuously during a period of nearly sixty years, commencing with " Salmagundi," in 1807, and concluding with a volume of American comedies. The author of " The " " " Dutchman's Fireside and Westward Ho ! found inspiration at home for his earlier works— when neither American scenes nor American society were supposed to furnish attractive materials — as he continued to do throughout his long career of authorship. Paulding was a man of great intellectual robustness ; strong in his convictions, and inexor- able in his prejudices ; with great clearness of perception, but little inclination to the ideal ; a hearty hater, and a devoted friend ; rejoicing in sarcasm, though free from malignity, both in his books and conver- sation ; never yielding to the illusion oi fancy or feeling, and express- ing himself in language more remarkable for its grave irony and brusque vigor than for its amenity or elegance. No man ever stood up more stoutly or manfully in defence of that " Mother of a mighty race," when assailed from abroad, than did James K. Paulding ; nor did any author born on American soil ever entertain greater contempt for for- eign example or criticism. Between Paulding and his contemporary, Cooper, there were many " strong points of resemblance ; between the author of The Back- woodsman," and his life-long friend and literary partner, Irving, none at all. In addition to his numerous novels and an exceedingly popular Life of Washington, Paulding was the writer of the now forgotten verse " " referred to in Fanny : " 'Twas a dull. Good honest man—what Paulding's muse would call A 'Cabbage head,'" and by another New York bard, who in a couplet, thus elegantly and judiciously determines the relative merits of Homer and Paulding as poets : " Homer was well enough ; but would he ever Have written, think ye, 'The Backwoodsman ? ' Never!" 1S93.] Paulding, Irving, Halleck, Cooper, and Bryant. n No doubt, during his lcng career Paulding " Gave up to party what was meant for mankind," by devoting much of his time and strength to political controversy and to writing anonymous articles and editorials on miscellaneous subjects for the newspapers.

DACKELOR OF I^SIC Approved: INTRODUCTION Of all the arts, there are surely no two more closely re- late! and inter-dependent than literature and music. To becoir.e only partially acquainted with Milton, Browning or Goethe and to note their allusions to music is to realize that they were deeply in- terested in that art. On the other hand, we co-uld hardly have been blessed with great oratorios, masses, operas, cantatas, and songs but for the literary texts upon which they are based. It is certain- ly true that the musician am the literate have always gone hand in hana. As a result, composers have, from the beginning used texts rrom German, English, Italian, French and other literatures as the basis of their inspiration for many fine operas, oratorios, masses, and orchestral works. It m.ay seerr to sere as though American liter- ature has had little influence upon musical composition, that texts from that source have not been found sufficiently worthy for adap- tation to musical settings.
