Excerpt from The Prose Writers of America: With a Survey of the Intellectual History, Condition, and Prospects of the Country Since the last revision of this work by Dr. Griswold, many authors who were then making their fame have added unfading lustre to their names and to the cause of American Literature; some of whom, such as Irving, Cooper, Paulding, Kennedy, Prescott, Willis, Halleck, have since deceased, while others are enjoying their well-earned laurels. Others, who were at that time neophytes in literature, have produced works which are entitled to an honorable mention in the list of the Prose Writers of America.
