DOWE, MRS. JENNIE, E. T. Her best work is to be found in the _Century Magazine_, where she, every now and again, fills a page or two with graceful and fantastical verse, usually employing a slight dialect of one sort or another. Her poems are full of life and music, and are decidedly clever. DRAKE, JOSEPH RODMAN (1795-1820), co-author with Halleck of the _Croaker Papers_, and author of _The Culprit Fay_. DRUMMOND, DR. W. H., a resident of Montreal, Canada. He is a master of the French-Canadian dialect, and in verse has the field pretty much to himself. His _Wreck of the Julie Plante_ is the most popular humorous song Canada has produced. DUNCAN, SARAH JEANNETTE. _See_ COTES, MRS. DUNLOP, WILLIAM, born in Scotland 1795 (?), died in Canada 1848. He contributed to _Blackwood’s Magazine_ “The Autobiography of a Rat,” founded the Toronto Literary Society, and represented Huron County in the first parliament after the union of Upper and Lower Canada. DWIGHT, TIMOTHY (1752-1817), President of Yale College, and hymn-writer of note. Among his many published works is _Triumph of Infidelity_, a satire. EDWARDS, EDWARD E., the author of “Facts and Fancies” in the _Boston Transcript_. FAY, THEODORE SEDGEWICK, born 1807, an associate of Morris and Willis in the _New York Mirror_. Mr. Fay, about 1830, joined the diplomatic service, and was stationed at Berlin and Berne for years. He published many works of a quietly humorous character. FESSENDEN, THOMAS GREEN (1771-1837). When at Dartmouth College he wrote “Jonathan’s Courtship,” a ballad which became popular, and was reprinted in England. He studied law and wrote humorous verse until 1801, when he was sent to England with a newly-patented hydraulic machine which proved a failure. This and other patents in which he experimented ruined him. Returning to America, he edited for a time the _New York Weekly Inspector_, and from this time till his death was connected with one paper or another. His published works include _Democracy Unveiled_, “Pills, Poetical, Political, and Philosophical, prescribed for the purpose of purging the Public of—Philosophers, Penny Poetasters, of Paltry Politicians and Petty Partisans. By Peter Pepperbox, Poet and Physician, Philadelphia.” FIELD, EUGENE (1850). During the year 1891 Mr. Field made a successful _début_ before the reading public of Great Britain with his _Little Book of Western Verse_, and _Little Book of Profitable Tales_, published by Osgood, McIlvain, & Co. For many years past Mr. Field has been the chief humorist of Chicago, and in verse and prose holds an honoured place among the present-day writers of America. He is equally at home in prose and verse. FIELD, MATTHEW C. (1812-1844), a contributor to many southern journals from 1834 till the time of his death.
