Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Private Life of John Calhoun, 1852: A Letter Originally Addressed to a Brother at the North, Communicated to Communicated the International Magazine, and Now Reprinted at the Request of Many Personal Friends
The funeral rites of the lamented Calhoun have been performed. So deeply has the mournful pageant impressed me, so vividly have memories of the past been recalled, that I am incapable of thinking or writ ing upon any other theme. My heart prompts me to garner up my recollections of this illustrious statesman. I can better preserve these invaluable memories by committing them to paper, and as you enjoyed but one brief interview with Mr. Calhoun, these pages shall be addressed to you.
