NEW-YORK, JULY 1, 1851. No. IV. FITZ-GREENE HALLECK. [Illustration] The author of _Fanny_, _Burns_, _Marco Bozzaris_, etc., was born at Guilford in Connecticut, in August, 1795, and in his eighteenth year removed to the city of New-York. He evinced a taste for poetry and wrote verses at a very early period; but the oldest of his effusions I have seen are those under the signatures of "Croaker," and "Croaker & Co.," published in the _New-York Evening Post_, in 1819. In the production of these pleasant satires he was associated with Doctor DRAKE, author of the _Culprit Fay_, a man of brilliant wit and delicate fancy, with whom he was long intimate. DRAKE died in 1820, and his friend soon after wrote for the _New-York Review_, then edited by BRYANT, the lines to his memory, beginning-- "Green be the turf above thee, Friend of my better days, None knew thee but to love thee, Nor named thee but to praise." Near the close of 1819, Halleck published Fanny, his longest poem, which was written and printed in three weeks; in 1827 a small volume, containing Alnwick Castle, Marco Bozzaris, and a few other pieces, which had previously appeared in various miscellanies; and in 1836, an edition of all his serious and more finished compositions. The last and most complete edition of his works appeared two years ago in a splendid volume from the press of the Appletons.
