Works of James Parton. "He is a painstaking, honest, and courageous historian, ardent with patriotism, but unprejudiced, -a writer, in short, of whom the United States has reason to be proud. With an admirable truthfulness, and a daring that savors of genuine British ‘pluck,' Mr. Parton declines to whitewash his hero, preferring to portray him faithfully, neither palliating the bad, nor exaggerating the good, of his character.".
