WASHINGTON

"Cooper
emphatically
belongs
to
the
nation.
He
has
left
a
space
in
our
litera
ture
which
will
not
easily
be
supplied."
GEORGE
BANCROFT.
"The
glory
which
he
justly
won
was
reflected
on
his
country,
and
deserves
the
grateful
recognition
of
all
who
survivehim.
His
surpassing
ability
has
made
his
own
name
and
the.
names
of
the
creationsof
his
fancy
household
words
through
out
the
civilized
world."
EDWARD
EVERETT.
"The
works
of
our
great
nationalnovelist
have
adorned
and
elevated
our
literature.
There
is
nothing
more
purely
American,
which
the
latest
posterity
will
not
willingly
let
die.
"
WILLIAM
H.
PRESCOTT.
"
His
writings
are
instinct
with
the
spirit
of
nationality.
In
his
productions
every
American
must
take
an
honest
pride.
For
surely
no
one
has
succeeded
like
Cooper
in
the
portraitureof
American
character,
or
has
given
suchglowing
and
eminently
truthful
pictures
of
American
scenery."
WILLIAM
CULLEN
BRYANT.
"
He
wrote
for
mankind
at
large
;
hence
itis
that
he
has
earned
a
fame
wider
than
any
author
of
modern
times.
The
creations
of
his
genius
shall
survive
through
centuries
to
come,
and
only
perish
with
our
language."
DANIEL
WEBSTER.
"The
enduring
monuments
of
Fenimore
Cooper
are
his
works.
While
thelove
of
country
continues
to
prevail,
his
memory
willexistin
the
heartsof
the
people.
...
So
truly
patriotic
and
American
throughout,
they
should
finda
place
in
every
American
s
library."
LEWIS
CASS.
"
His
country
and
the
world
acknowledge
and
appreciate
his
claims,
and
the
productions
of
his
genius
will
go
down
to
posterity
among
thenoblest
efforts
of
the
age.
He
will
ever
live
in
the
historyof
human
greatness."
CHARLES
SUMNER.
"As
a
patriot,
who
loved
his
country,
who
illustrated
its
history,
who
advanced
its
characterabroad,
and,
by
his
genius,
won
for
it
the
unwilling
regard
offoreign
nations,
he
deserves
aplace
in
the
hearts
ofthe
American
people."
HENRY
W.
LONGFELLOW.
"The
country
owes
him
a
great
debt
of
gratitude,
and
all
who
areof
theguild
of
authorship
should
show
the
most
alacrity
in
paying
it.
I
was
in
no
country
of
Europewhere
the
name
of
Cooper
was
not
familiarly
known."
FRANCIS
PARKMAN,
JR.
"For
myself,
I
have
always
felt
a
special
admiration
for
Cooper
s
writings.
They
were
my
chosen
favoritesas
a
boy,
and
I
may
say,
without
exaggeration,
that
Cooper
has
had
an
influence
in
determining
the"
course
of
my
life
and
pursuits."
JOHN
P.
KENNEDY.
"No
man
has
done
more
inhis
sphere
to
elevate
and
dignity
our
national
character
than
Fenimore
Cooper.
His
geniushas
contributed
a
rich
fund
to
theinstruction
and
delight
of
his
countrymen,
which
will
long
be
preserved
among
the
choicesttreasures
of
American
letters,
and
will
equally"
conduce
to
render
our
national
literature
attractive
to
other
nations."
