Excerpt from The Cooper Gallery: Or, Pages and Pictures From the Writings of James Fenimore Cooper, With Notes Active life had commenced early with him. In 1805, he had received a mid shipman's warrant, but soon after his marriage, which took place in 1811, he had left the navy. Had his friends been called upon to predict his future career, many would probably have anticipated a return to the profession of his early youth, for which he still continued to cherish a very warm partiality, or others might have conjectured that the lively interest he had often shown in public ques tions would be likely to lead him eventually to fix his attention on political life. Beyond the facts that he was known in society to possess unusual talent, and that he had received all the advantages of education which the country afforded at that period, there appeared no grounds for believing that he would ever attain distinction as a literary man.
