Excerpt from History United States of America, Vol. 6: Under the Constitution, 1861 1865
Favored by health and opportunity, the author, after an interval of eight years, completes his History of the United States under the Constitution by issuing sixth volume to cover the period of the Civil War and President Lincoln's memorable administration.
During the active composition of this volume, - a labor which would not have been undertaken but for the zealous prompting of others, - I have formed the impression that, with all that has been written, and well written, touching America's gigantic conflict, a narrative within the present compass, viewing events in the calm perspective, developing the story on its civil as well as its military side, and making just use of those copious historical materials which have accumulated during the last thirty years, remained a desideratum. Whether the present work, projected as the companion of former volumes in a consecutive tale, may in a measure supply such a need, the reading public, always indulgent to my efforts, must determine.
