d, Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach: _Travels through North America, during the years 1825 and 1826_. Translation published 1828. [Abbreviated "Travels"] Chapters XXIV-XXVII inclusive, except the poetry, are taken from this book. See beginning of chapter XXIV for more information. John Warner Barber: _Interesting Events in the History of the United States ..._ (exact title varies). First edition 1827; later editions include 1828 and 1834, with reprints of each. Details of wording point to the 1828 edition as the source. The segments dealing with the war of 1812 are quoted extensively: "Second War with Great Britain"; the battles of Queenstown, Lake Erie, Niagara and Lake Champlain; Death of Tecumseh; the Hartford Convention; "Piracies in the West Indies". Nathaniel Dwight: _Sketches of the lives of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence_. First Edition 1830; quotations from 1840 edition (reprint of 1830). [Abbreviated "Lives of Signers"] Used primarily for character descriptions. Most are applied to male characters in the novel, but one passage is inserted into a description of Dolly Madison. With one exception, all selections are taken from representatives of Northern states. Mrs. James Madison. Here quoted from _The American Magazine of Useful and Entertaining Knowledge_; the article was printed in other publications. Some parts of this article refer to the period when James Madison was Secretary of State under Jefferson. Much of the article quotes from the chapter on Dolly Madison in a longer work: American Academy of the Fine Arts (James Herring and James Barton Longacre), _The National Portrait Gallery of Distinguished Americans_ (no later than 1834). _A sketch of the life and public services of William H. Harrison, commander in chief of the North-western army during the War of 1812, &c._ Many editions from 1835 and later. Charles Phillips: Speech at Dinas Island on George Washington. Widely reprinted; the version published in the author's Collected Speeches is different from earlier published versions quoted here. Lindley Murray: _The Power of Religion on the Mind_. First edition 1836; many later editions and reprints. Quotations from 1863 (the only edition available to me). Not a religious work but a collection of short biographies with character description. Except for the article
