First American Novelist.

The man who is. usually referred to
as the first American novelist and
whose claim to the title seems to be
undisputed. was Charles BrOckden
Brown, who was born in Philadelphia
in 1771, and died in 1910. His best
novel. "Wieland." is morbid horror
story. based on vcntriloqutsm. and
while improbable 1t contains scenes
of great power. He published several
other novels, and in 1799 a book on di-
vorce and marriage which enunciated
many views then considered very radi-
cal but now widely accepted. No other
novels than his were published by a
native American until the appearance
of "The Spy" by James Fenimore
Cooper. In 1881.
