PREFACE.

The subjects treated of in this volume (number ten) are too numerous and varied to be comprehended in a preface, and can be best ascertained by reference to the index, which will be found to comprehend much of military, civil and political history, with the names of many who played conspicuous parts therein.

The war with Great Britain begun in 1812, and with many of its prominent incidents by land and sea, and the conspicuous actors therein, the means and the men furnished by the State of Virginia in aid of the Federal Government will be found greatly interesting.

The appointment of judges of the various courts, of Virginians to federal offices; election of United States Senators; the establishment of the University of Virginia and appointment of visitors thereto; the management of some Indian tribes; the subject of Insurrection; the nullification period and acts connected therewith; opinions on the removal of the United States deposits from the Bank of the United States; the treatment of the French refugees and their slaves imported into Norfolk, and the action of Congress thereon, with numerous other topics, will be found embraced in this volume.
