It is really a pretty thing pure Gothic, and is the wonder of the country round." Of Cooper himself was said: "Thus step by step his feet were guided into the ways of peace." It was of the Protestant Episcopal church that his wife's brother, William Heathcote de Lancey a genius of goodness was bishop. A beautiful, tender, and touching tribute to the love of his life was Fenimore Cooper's will.
Hawthorne, two of those many men of letters of whose presence Boston and its neighborhood have reason to be proud. Of Mr. Emerson I have already spoken. The author of the "Scarlet Letter" I regard as certainly the first of American novelists. I know what men will say of Mr. Cooper, and I also am an admirer of Cooper's novels. But I cannot think that Mr. Cooper's powers were equal to those of Mr.
In broad day, upon the high road, the small boys would boldly fling taunts and stones at Alan, till he would pull out his long, sharp cooper's knife and make at them. But if they met him in the woods they would walk past in trembling and respectful silence, or slip off into hiding in the bush, till he was out of sight.
To no one, more justly than to him, could perpetual thanks have been voted, because he never despaired of the republic. Cooper's lofty views of his country he soon found were essentially different from those entertained abroad. The knowledge of America even now possessed in Europe is not burdensomely great.
It was necessary to supply the lost cooper's place; accordingly, word was passed for all who belonged to that calling to muster at the main-mast, in order that one of them might be selected. Thirteen men obeyed the summons a circumstance illustrative of the fact that many good handicrafts-men are lost to their trades and the world by serving in men-of-war.
The very suggestion of locking up books to prevent their being carried away hurts like the screech of a pencil upon a slate. I think of Mrs. Harrington and then I think of Cooper. Cooper's shelves are continuously being denuded by his friends. But if you think of Cooper as a helpless victim you are sadly mistaken.
Howitt's party was doubled and he made all speed to Cooper's Creek. Meantime the other colonies took the matter up and three more parties were in the field. Howitt, whose fortunes we must follow, started early in July; the VICTORIA, steam sloop, was sent up to the mouth of the Albert River, in the Gulf of Carpentaria, from Brisbane, having Mr. W. Landsborough on board.
It was an additional misfortune to lose the education, scanty and defective as it then was, which was imparted by the college. It might not and probably would not have contributed anything to Cooper's intellectual development in the way of accuracy of thought or of statement.
Thence to Cooper's, where my wife's picture almost done, and mighty fine indeed.
He took counsel with Cooper's friends as to a monument to the author, and among his papers was found an elaborate design for the work. Cooper loved to encourage rising talent in young artists. He gave them orders, and also his cheering sympathy.
