There has beenno such cunning trickster since the daysof Burr; and Burr was at least a gentle- 96 LINCOLN man and a scholar! Not even Tyler wasso inordinately vain of power. He exer-cises it as recklessly ar Bomba did! Heis surrounded by more dangerous menthat ever haunted the ante-rooms of theimbecile Louis XIII.!

But if I were asked, after yearsof reading in this field, to name the mosthelpful testimony by a single witness, Ishould name that of Noah Brooks. The paper selected for this volume waswritten for Harpers Magazine in 1865,while the facts were fresh in thlincolnbyfriendf10inbroo
