Book excerpt: Excerpt from American History Told by Contemporaries, Vol. 4 The selection has been difficult because of the mass of excellent materials, and much that is valuable had to be left aside for lack of space. I have tried to let advocates of both sides speak on all great contested questions; to call upon the best informed and best disposed witnesses; to give examples of the writings of the nation's leaders; to let no significant episode pass unpresented. In the latter part of this volume it has not been possible to appeal to many diaries and collee tions of letters, for they have not yet come into print, or even into collections of manuscripts; but there are plenty Of other forms of available writings. Official documents have, as in the previous volumes, been left for the most part to other collections. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
