Excerpt from History of Andrew Jackson, Vol. 1 of 2: Pioneer, Patriot, Soldier, Politician, President T HE manuscript of Mr. Buell's History of Andrew Jackson was sent to the publishers early last spring, several months before the sudden and unexpected death of the author. No preface accompanied the work, but in his correspondence Mr. Buell had indicated clearly the point of view from which he had studied the subject a point of view very similar, by the way, to that from which that other great fighter in an earlier war with Great Britain, Paul Jones, had already been portrayed by the same author. It is at least, he said in one letter, an American book - not an English one, like Parton's. I oould not have written an Anglomaniac book if I had tried, but if I had tried and succeeded, it would not have been Jackson. Whatever may be the trend of American - or New York and New England Opinion now, there never was any Anglomania in him, and not much in his time.
