William Cullen Bryant's 'A Discourse on the Life, Character and Writings of Gulian Crommelin Verplanck' is a profound exploration of the life and works of Gulian Crommelin Verplanck, a prominent figure in American literature and politics. Bryant's structured and analytical approach sheds light on Verplanck's contributions to society, displaying a blend of biography and literary criticism. Written in a formal and eloquent style, the book delves into Verplanck's influences on American intellectual thought, highlighting his role as a scholar and politician in the early 19th century. As a renowned poet and editor, Bryant's admiration for Verplanck's achievements is evident in this detailed discourse. Bryant's own experiences in literature and public service likely motivated him to delve deep into the life of someone he greatly respected. His thorough research and insightful commentary offer readers a valuable perspective on Verplanck's legacy. I highly recommend 'A Discourse on the Life, Character and Writings of Gulian Crommelin Verplanck' to readers interested in American intellectual history and literary studies. Bryant's expertise and admiration for Verplanck make this book a compelling and informative read.

Excerpt from A Discourse on the Life, Character and Writings of Gulian Crommelin Verplanck: Delivered Before the New-York Historical Society, May 17th, 1870 This fine old estate has a long western border on the Hudson, and extends easterly for four or five miles to the village Of Fishkill. About half a mile from the great river stands the family mansion, among its ancient groves, a large stone building of one story when I saw it; with a Sharp roof and dormer windows, beside its old fashioned and well stocked garden. A winding path leads down to the river's edge, through an ancient forest which has stood there ever since Hendrick Hudson navigated the river bearing his name, and centuries before. This mansion was the country retreat of Mr. Verplanck ever since I knew him, and here it was that his grandfather on the paternal side, Samuel Verplanck, passed much Of his time during our revolutionary war, in which, although he took no share in political measures, his inclinations were on the side of the mother country.
