Besides these there are numerous letters written to the newspapers, and in particular the letters written to the Paris journal, the "National,"
in 1833. During Cooper's life it was frequently said that he was engaged in preparing a work on the Middle States of the Union; but no (p. 299) trace of such a production was found among his papers. A work of his on "The Towns of Manhattan" was partly finished and in press at the time of his death; but the portion printed was entirely destroyed by fire. Part of the ma.n.u.script, however, was recovered. On the 4th of August, 1841, Cooper also delivered an address before the Literary Societies of Hobart College, Geneva, N. Y.; but this he himself burned on the day it was delivered.
A few works have been wrongly attributed to him. One of these is "The Cruise of the Somers; ill.u.s.trative of the Despotism of the Quarter Deck; and of the Unmanly Conduct of Commander Mackenzie." New York: 1844.
Another is "Elinor Wyllys; or the Young Folk of Longbridge."
Philadelphia: 1846. Of this novel Cooper was the nominal editor, and to it he contributed a short preface. A third work, which has been falsely attributed to him, is ent.i.tled "The Republic of the United States; its Duties to Itself, and its Responsible Relations to other Countries." New York: 1848.
