James Kirke Paulding (1779 - 1860), novelist, etc., born in the state of
New York, was chiefly self-educated. He became a friend of W. Irving, and
was part author with him of Salmagundi--a continuation of which by
himself proved a failure. Among his other writings are John Bull and Brother Jonathan (1812), a satire, The Dutchman's Fireside (1831), a
romance which attained popularity, a Life of Washington (1835), and
some poems.
