Description: The first edition of A History of New YOrk by Diedrich Knickerbocker appeared in 1809 and went through innumerable printings on both sides of the Atlantic. If a few later writers such as Emerson and Whitman found it merely shallow burlesque, the majority enjoyed it. The London Athenaeum of October 14, 1829, gave the coveted English approval: "Knickerbocker's History of New YOrk" was an honest and manly attempt to found an American literature. Those who read it must have exclaimed involuntarily, "yes, this is the work which was wanted. The umbilical cord is now severed. America is indeed independent".
