Copyright
Croaker Papers, name given to a series of satirical poems on current topics by
Drake and
Halleck. The authorship of these popular verses was never acknowledged, and they were sent with elaborate secrecy to the New York
Evening Post and
National Advertiser between March and July 1819. Of the initial series of 35 poems, 14 are attributed to Drake ( Croaker); 13 to Halleck ( Croaker, Jr.); and eight to their collaboration (Croaker and Co.). The pseudonym was suggested by the name of a character in Goldsmith's
The Good‐Natured Man. The first (unauthorized) collection was published in 1819 and contained 24 selections; the first complete edition was published in 1860.
