A POLITICAL HISTORY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK

(1774-1861)

By D.S. ALEXANDER. Two volumes. 840 pp. 8vo. $5.00 net (carriage
extra).

This work presents a history of the movements of political parties in
New York State from 1774 to 1861, and embraces a series of brilliant
character studies of the leaders, most of them of national importance,
who, from the days of George Clinton, have drawn the attention of the
nation to New York. The astute methods and sources of power by which
George Clinton, Hamilton, Burr, DeWitt Clinton, Van Buren, Seymour and
Thurlow Weed each successively controlled the political destiny of the
State are clearly and picturesquely set forth.

"It meets a want widely felt and repeatedly expressed during the past
hundred years.... It would be impossible in a dozen notices to render
any sort of justice to the extensive scope of this work and to the
multiplicity of its interesting details."--From two leading articles,
aggregating over ten columns, in the _New York Sun_.

"Will undoubtedly take its place as the authoritative work upon the
subject."--_Boston Transcript._

"Without question he has performed ... his task very capably. He
addresses the general reader and takes pains to be entertaining,
dealing with men in preference to measures--and only the most
conspicuous, the most interesting men.... Of these outstanding figures
there are full length portraits--biographi
