IT having been understood among my friends that I have seen all the Presidents of the United States, ex cept Washington and the elder Adams, their partiality has prompted the request that I should communicate to the public my recollections of them, and of other public men whom I have known personally during a life now past four-score years. To this request I have fre quently replied that when my active intercourse with the world had ceased and the bustling affairs of life were laid aside, I would undertake the task. That time hav ing arrived, I now begin the fulfillment of my promise.
