Washington Irving was born on 3rd April, 1783, the youngest of 11, in New York. By 19 Irving was writing regularly to the New York Morning Chronicle, commenting on the theatrical and social scenes. When his health began to fail, he was sent on the Grand Tour of Europe. Bizarrely he ignored most of the great sights on offer to concentrate on developing his social and conversational powers. His health, though, did improve. In 1806, back in New York to study law, he scraped a pass at the bar and then founded with several others the literary magazine Salmagundi. Irving nicknamed the city 'Gotham City', a name still in use today. Moderately successful, the magazine spread Irving's reputation beyond New York.
