Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evert Augustus Duyckinck, His Life, Writings and Influence: A Memoir New York was then in a transition state and just entering upon the new cosmopolitan erauwhich was in some respects a matter of disappointment as well as of pride to men who were, like Duyckinck, born in the old provincial New York which ended with the completion of the Erie Canal and the virtual annexation of the great West in 1885, and who had grown up in what may be called the middle age of New York, from 1826 to 1850, during which the city had become the business metropolis of the country. The third stage of growth was a little too fast and too far for the comfort of many of the old residents, and when, in 1850, the Knickerbocker city, proud of her Croton water, her great daily papers, and her extending railways, established her own line of steamers to Europe, and started her own fleets to the Golden Gate of California, the fear was expressed that the new city was outgrowing her history and its landmarks, and falling into the hands of a new multitude, most of whose half million of people knew little and cared less for the old fathers of Manhattan. Mr. Duyckinck had much of the old fashioned sentiment, yet he kept up with the new progress, and at heart he was quite modern in his love of liberality in literature and politics as well as in religion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evert Augustus Duyckinck: A Memorial Sketch Read Before the New York Historical Society, January 7, 1879 In attempting a sketch of the life and literary labors of our late associate, Evert A. Duyckinck, I dismiss, at the outset, any misgivings as to the degree of general interest attaching to a career whose daily course came so little under public observation, and whose chosen aims were so far removed from the ordinary pursuits of men. At first thought the life of a scholar and man of letters, passed chiefly among his books, and marked by an avoidance of society and a withdrawal from the world, presents few points of attraction, and may seem to furnish little material for even a brief biographical notice. But the friend whose memory we honor was not a mere recluse, living a selfish life of intellectual ease. He was a faithful and life-long worker. If his field of labor was retired, it was no less the scene of constant and patient toil; if he preferred the quiet of his books and the companionship of their authors to the stir of active life and the social intercourse of the world, it was not to hide or bury the talents committed to his keeping. In his self-chosen seclusion he was always contributing his measure of honest work to that true commonwealth of letters in which there is no conflict between the capital of intellectual gifts or acquirements and the labor of brain and hand, but where all are co-workers, each in his own sphere, for the advancement of the best thought and intelligence of the race. Evert Augustus Duyckinck, the son of Evert Duyckinck and Harriet June, was born in the city of New York, November 23, 1816. His family name was conspicuous in the list of the early Dutch settlers in this part of the country. In Hazards collection of State papers there is a notice of the depredations of the Connecticut Colonists upon the lands of the New Amsterdam people, under the rule of the West India Company, in which it is said that "they of Hartford have beaten the servants of the high and mighty, the honored companie from their lands, with sticks and plow staves, and among the rest struck Ever Duckings (Evert Duyckinck) a hole in his head with a stick, so that the bloode ran downe very strongly downe upon his body."
