The Washington G. Telegraph has advertised
proposals for publishing the Biography OF General
Jackson " by Henry Lee, Author OF Campaign OF
1881" The following is extract from The
Prospectus. " Andrew Jackson is one ofthose
men whose great qualities are not fairly estimated
by The age in which be lives. Though {" first in
war, first IN peace, aud first in the hearts of his
fellow citizens, the circumstances Of his life have
made it the interest OF aspiring individuals 10 fill
the nation with distorted pictures Of his cbaTac-
ter. These, unless confronted with cotemporane-
Gus evidence, which the present is the proper sea-
son to collect, may perpetuate false impressions,
and be received by posteIiiy representations Of
truth. IL is proposed therefore, to lay before the
public, with as little delay possible, clear ac-
count OF his life, and by the light OF established
facts and unimpeachable testimony, TO examine
whatever is disputed, to elucidate whatever may
seem obscure, and explain whatever j. misunder-
stood in his conduct. IT," II is TO contain about 500
