Few books Of its class published during the
year are likely to be more interesting or COM
mand larger sale than Mr.. Chittenden's
"Recollections Of President: Lincoln and his
Administration" noted above. Especially will
this observation apply to Warrington, where
the author and the personages and events he
describes are still fresh in the memory of many
persons yet living. As q member of the peace
conference which assembled in this city in 1861,
and afterwards as the incumbent of an impor-
tant bureau position Of the Treasury Depart
ment, which brought him into intimate and
confidential relations with government affairs,
and particularly with all measures and move
ments connected with the financial questions
and policies, upon the wisdom and success Of
which the issues Of the great struggle SO
largely depended, Mr.. Chittenden had excep-
tlonal facilities for observing and comprehend
ing the momentous events Of that interesting
period. OF the opportunities thus afforded
Mr.. Chittenden seems to have fully availed
himself, and he was wise enough to supplement
the advantages thus enjoyed by making at the
impressions likely to be Of future interest.
The result ia an exceedingly entertaining mar
rative, useful and valuable for the side lights it
throws upon the times and events Of which it
treats. and attractive for the straightforward
and felicitous manner in which the author has
performed his task.
