A Biography of Major-General Zachary Taylor. With Graphic Accounts of the Battles of Palo Alto; Resaca De La Palma; Monterey, and Buena Vista."The time is past for eulogizing General Taylor. The American people, the world, with an unanimity almost unparalleled, have pronounced judgment upon his deeds. From that judgment there is no appeal; to it his most devoted admirers can wish no addition. The heroic greatness of the man shines forth with a steady and refulgent light that requires no adventitious aid to increase either its brightness or its intensity. It is not the object of the present publication, therefore, to eulogize either him or his deeds, or to attempt to increase the number of his admirers, but to present for their use a clear and succinct account of what he has done. The aim is simply to exhibit the facts, not to laud them. With this View, the events of his life have been obtained from documentary or other unquestioned authority, and then set forth with particularity, indeed, as to dates and places, but with the utmost directness and simplicity of style. Such a book, it was believed, would be far more acceptable at the present time than a larger and more elaborate performance."-Foreword.
