In conjunction with Robert C. Sands, a writer of a peculiar vein of quaint humor, he contributed twopapers to the collection, entitled "Scenes in Washington, " of a humorousand satirical character. He disliked the manual labor of writing and wasfond of dictating while another held the pen. I was the third contributorto the "Talisman, " and sometimes acted as his amanuensis. In estimatingVerplanck's literary character, these compositions, some of which aremarked by great beauty of style and othe...rs by a rich humor, should not beover-looked. The first volume of the "Talisman" was put in type by a youngEnglishman named Cox, who, while working at his desk as a printer, composed a clever review of the work, which appeared in the "New YorkMirror, " and of which Verplanck often spoke with praise. In 1833, Verplanck collected his public speeches into a volume. Amongthese is one delivered in August of that year, at Columbia College, inwhich he holds up to imitation the illustrious examples of great meneducated at that institution.
