Perhaps better time than the present
to write the biography Of jackson could
not have been selected The political
luminosity and bitterness, az well as the
unreasoning partially which prevented
a fair estimate Of his character and SER
vices, have faded away, and although not
entirely Of the past, will not now prevent
a just Judgment on the part Of fair mind
ed men. Yet the Feriod Of his life in
public career is not 50 distant as TO make
the collection Of materials, from docu-
ments, letters, and personal recollections.
a task of great difficulty. The public
will therefore expect in these volumes a
complete narrative of the life Of jackson.
free from partisan bias, accurate and in-
partial so far as a biographer can be i'm
partial who has undoubtedly selected bis
subject from admiration Of the man, or of
some of tbs traits Of character.
So tar as we can Judge from the first
volume, Mr. Parton has set about his
work conscientiously, and with a deter
mination to present his facts fairly and
to deal impartially with the memory Of
jackson. We may not agree with him
in many Of his opinions, but he has given
us the means to arrive at just conclu-
sions. Thoroughness Of research, and a
ccpious display OF his materials is a
characteristic Of this volume. If the
author errs at all in this respect, it is in
being too diffuse. He has presented
much extraneous matter-interestine
doubtless rs view of the times Of Jack
soa, but net necessary or relevant to the
narrative of bis life. Thus, in connec-
ton with Jackson's advent in Congress,
be gives several pages showing the state
OF society, the amusements, &c, in Phil
aaelPhia, where Congress was then in
session, and an abstract Of President
Washington's opening address, &c.
There is little in the early life Of Jack,
con which right minded men will admire
little which rebounds to his credit. L
would be better for the name and fame
Of jackson if the mantle of oblivion could
be thrown over this period Of his career
His prominent traits Of character were
The most nnatiractive that could Be i'm.
