Item description from seller

Octavo (20.5cm.); removed; 48pp. Light toning to extremities, else Very Good and sound. Among the American literary luminaries listed in Gould's address are both recognizable and mostly forgotten names, "Irving, Cooper, Paulding, Brown, Bird, Simms, Kennedy: -- Dana, Drake, Halleck, Bryant, Percival, Pinkney: -- Miss Sedgwick and Miss H[annah] F. Gould." Of this last the author adds in a footnote, "The coincidence of /names/ might lead some to suppose that the writer is here evincing the partiality of relationship, and this note is introduced merely to disprove such a supposition. Miss Gould's acknowledged talents are the only, and the sufficient reason for her being placed among our eminent authors" (p. 19). Both addresses were also published separately (see Sabin 28101 for Gould's).
