the Salmagundi; the papers were supposed to be the joint efforts of
several literati.]

To conclude, we find the literary character of Mr. Irving illustrated
in a contemporary journal, with unusual spirit. "There never was a
writer," observes the editor, "whose popularity was more matter of
feeling, or more intimate than Washington Irving, perhaps, because
he appeared at once to our simplest and kindliest emotions. His
affections were those of 'hearth and home;' the pictures he
delighted to draw were those of natural loveliness, linked with human
sympathies; and a too unusual thing with the writers of our time--he
looked upon God's works, and 'saw that they were good.' * * * With
him the wine of life is not always on the lees. An exquisite vein of
poetry runs through every page,--and of poetry, his epithets who does
not remember--'the shark, glancing like a spectre through the blue
seas.'"[8]
