In 1822 he established himself in New York City, uniting his paper with another and forming a copartnership with G. W. Prentiss. He delivered a poem on the " Pains of the Imagination" before the Phi Beta Kappa society of Dartmouth in 1824, and the following year travelled in Europe and wrote descriptive letters, published in the "Statesman " and widely reproduced in other papers. After his return he issued the same letters, revised and enlarged, comprising the journal of his tour in Great Britain, Ireland, France, Switzerland, and Italy, in two volumes (New York, 1827). His health failing, he spent a winter in Florida, and after his return withdrew from the editorship of the " Statesman." In the autumn of 1829 he accompanied a friend on a voyage to Marseilles, and died of consumption a few days after his arrival. He produced many occasional reflective poems.
