 The Life of John Pendleton Kennedy (New York: 1871) by H. T. Tuckerman. For Simms see William Gilmore Simms (Houghton Mifflin: 1892) by W. P. Trent and A List of the Separate Writings of William Gilmore Simms of South Carolina, 1806-1870 (Privately printed: 1906) by Oscar Wegelin. For Bird see The Life and Dramatic Works of Robert Montgomery Bird (Knickerbocker Press: 1919) by Clement E. Foust. Thompson has been kept in print in an edition of four volumes (Lothrop). Kennedy's Swallow Barn and Horse-Shoe Robinson are still issued (Putnam). Simms exists in various editions of 17 volumes, apparently just now out of print. Ware's Zenobia, Aurelian, and Julian are issued by several publishers. Of the other novels discussed in this chapter only Melville's Typee, Omoo, and Moby Dick continue to exhibit their original vitality. All three are included in the Everyman series, and they with White Jacket may be read in an edition in four volumes published by Dana Estes. Bibliographies of the writers discussed in this chapter are given in the Cambridge History, Vol. I, pp. 525-46.
