 The publishers in their prospectus say, that ''The Life of this extraordinary man, now offered to the public, tells the strange, event. fnl story of his career for the first time. The works previously published upon the Life of Andrew Jackson, besides being brief and in complete, were written for the purpose of influencing votes, and could not be otherwise than partial and eulogistic. The present work has been prepared with the single ob. iect of telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth-suppressing nothing explaining away nothing -exaggeratng noth- ing. By personal researches and inquiries in the States and localities where General Jack son lived and acted, Mr. Parton has accounts lated larger amount of valuable and origi- nal material that was, perhaps, ever brought together before to illustrate the life of one man. As far as possible, the author has seen every thing with his own eyes, and gone to the SOURCES of information, resolute always to reach the real and innermost TRUTH.
 The three volumes of the work will each present General Jackson in different charac- ter, in different scenes, surrounded by differ ent co-operators.
 Volume First exhibits him chiefly in the character of WESTERN PIONEER. It con tains an immense mass of new information re- specting the race whence Andrew Jackson sprung-his childhood and school -life-his career as teacher of an Old Field School law student and back-woods lawyer-frontier district attorney and judge-a member of ngress-storekeeper and planter-sporting man and Indian fighter. This volume contains a large number of Jackson's earliest letters. some of which were written when he had barely attained his majority; also, full and correct accounts of his extraordinary mar riage, his early duels, his connection and cor respondence with Aaron Burr, his feud and affray with the Bentons, his brilliant and sue cessful Creek campaign, with original letters of General Coffee never before published.
 Volume Second presents far fuller account of General Jackson's MILITARY CAREER than any yet before the public. It comprises British and American narratives of the great New Orleans campaign, together with letters written by Jackson, Coffee and others in the midst of the arduous struggle, and large number of incidents and anecdotes obtained directly from partcipators in the battles, and from, residents of New Orleans. This vol umc contains, also, the whole truth respect ing the Seminole War of 1918, the invasion of Florida, the execution of Arbuthnot and Ambrister, the secret orders of President Monroe, the origin of Jackson's feuds with Crawford, Calhoun, Clay, and Adams Gen. eral Jackson's celebrated confidential corres- pondence with MT. Monroe is printed in full, !, with all requisite explanatory comments. Ev- cry step or the process by which General Jackson was rendered a candidate for the presidency is explained from documents writ ten and furnished by the men who were chief ly instrumental in his elevation.
 Volume Third exhibits General Jackson as the STATESMAN. Upon this volume the au- thor naS expended ms pest strength ne leIu is new, the material immense, the subject of the highest interest and importance. Vol ume Third reveals the interior history of the Cabinet explosion of 1880, the Mrs. Eaton intrigues, the " War of the Succession," the great Bank contest, the French embroglio, and all the other exciting events of the most stor- my period in the history of American politics. A vast number of anecdotes of the Washing ton and White House life of General Jackson, never before printed, will give variety to the pages of this volume. The close of the Gen erals life--his retirement to the Hermitage his conversion and theological studies--his last sickness and the conversation of his dying bed, and his peaceful death--are related from the testimony of eye-witnesses.
