Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Four Famous American Writers: Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, James Russell Lowell, Bayard Taylor, a Book for Young Americans
Irving's first literary composition seems to have been a play written when he was thirteen. It was performed at the house Of a friend, in the presence of a famous actress of that day; but in after years Irving had forgotten even the title.
