PREFATORY.

A GLANCE at the Title Page will show the general scope of this work. It has been the aim of the Author to condense into the smallest possible space, consistent with precision, clearness, and interest, the multitudinous incidents and dates presented. He has avoided all partisan views, mere speculation, and unprofitable detail. The documents, statistics, and extracts are from official sources, and given without comment. The historical part of the work has been carefully gathered from the abundant materials at the command of the Author, and as carefully culled and presented. In his labors it has been his constant care to make a fair, full statement of facts, rather than any display of rhetoric.

It is intended as a reliable and convenient reference book upon the topics presented, for the use of the various classes and parties of American citizens; and the Author hopes that the execution of the design may not be altogether unworthy the approbation already bestowed upon the plan.
