"In tho four quarters of tho globo who reads an Amorlcan book, or goos to nn American play, or looks at and American picture or statute?" And this Jocular taunt wont unchalionged. A llttlo onrllor than this, lndod, Bryant had wrltton "Thanntopsls," and some of Irving'B essays appoarcd Just about that tlmo, whllo Drake, America's Chattorton, with his task completod, dlod In that year. Asldo, hownvor, from tho llttlo of Irvlng's work which hnd been pub lished In England, neither Sydnoy Smith nor anybody olso In Europo had Boon anything which they cbuld cnll distinctively American.
