Evert Augustus Duyckinck (1816–1878) obituary in the New York Times on August 15, 1878: "Evert Augustus Duyckinck, the well-known writer for periodicals, and one of the authors of the Cyclopedia of American Literature, died at his residence, No. 20 Clinton place, on Tuesday, in the sixty second year of his age. Eastern services over his remains will be held at St. Mark's Protestant Episcopal Church to-morrow. His son, Rev. Henry Duyckinck, was Rector of this church, and died in 1870 at the early age of 27 years. Mr. Duyckinck was born November 25, 1816, in this city, where his father, Evert Duyckinck, was a prominent publisher and book-seller. Ho received a good education, and was graduated from Columbia College in 1935. He began to write for periodicals at an early age, and in 1840, when scarcely 24 years old, engaged with Cornelius Matthews in the publication of a monthly journal entitled Arcturus, which was devoted to books and opinions. The enterprise was not successful, however, and it was discontinued in May, 1842. Mr. Duyckinck contributed to the early numbers of the New-York Review, and, in 1847, assumed the editorship of the Literary World. He continued in this position, with his brother George Long Duyckinck as an associate, until the close of 1853. Tho brothers, by their joint labors, produced in 1856 the Cyclopedia of American Literature, on which their reputations mainly rest. This work, which is in two volumes octavo, shows much labor and research, and received the commendation, not only of American scholars and writers, but was favorably received abroad, and has taken the place with reference to American literature which Chambers's Cyolopeadia bears to English' literature. It is modeled very much on the plan of the latter work, and contains personal reminiscences and portraits of authors and copious selections from their writings. In 1866 a supplement to the work was issued by Mr. Evert A. Duyckinck, his brother having died three years before. Mr. Duyckinck also published the following works: The Jill and Wisdom of Sidney Smith, with a Memoir, 1856 ; Poems Relating to the American Revolution, 1885; History of the War for the Union. three volumes, 1861-5; National Portrait Gallery of Prominent Americans, two volumes, 18661 History of the World front the Earliest Period to the Present Time, 1870; Memorials of John Allan, 1864, and Memorials of Rev. Francis L. Eatoks. D. A, 1871. Ho was also a contributor to the Quarterly Review, the Democratic Review, the Morning Newt, and other periodicals, and gained an enviable reputation for his scholarship and critical acumen. Ills life was that of a retired scholar, and was not marked by stirring incident. The death of his brother and co-worker was is sad blow to him, as he himself has borne testimony in the preface to the supplement of the great work by whirls they will he remembered. Seven years later came the untimely death of his son, who had given promise of a brilliant career. These two events were his griefs, and he bore them manfully and without complaint. He was well known and well liked for his many excellent qualities of bead and heart, and though scores of his early friends have long since passed from life, there still remain many who had learned to prize his worth, and to whom his loss will come like a personal bereavement."
