Excerpt from Annual Report of the American Historical Association for the Year 1899, Vol. 2: Calhoun CorrespondenceThe thought of such an edition was first awakened in the mind of the editor, then a teacher in the Johns Hopkins Uni versity, by a passage in Von Holst's Calhoun, read soon after its publication in 1883. In 1888 he had some correspondence with Calhoun's son-ia-law, Col. Thomas G. Clemson, of Fort Hill, S. C., who then possessed the main mass of the extant correspondence, and who courteously invited him to make use of it. Soon after this Colonel Clemson died, leaving these papers to the Clemson Agricultural College, the present occu pant of the estate at Fort Hill. To the trustees of that insti tution, and especially to Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, the editor and the reader are more largely indebted than to any one else. They not only gave generous permission to use freely for the purposes of this edition the valuable materials in their possession, but sent the whole mass to Providence, where, stored in a fireproof library, it might be used. At the editor's convenience.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
