When, hundred years ago, Albert
Gallatin went to Client as one of the
envoys from the United States to ne
gotiate with ENJOYS from Great Brit
ain for the peace that resulted in the
treaty of Client, he took with him, as
secretary, his son. James Gallatin. then
a lad of seventeen. Young Gallatin
acted in the same capacity also at
other times when his father was sent
on foreign missions by the government
at Washington. This diary covers these
various diplomatic commissions. James
Gallatin gave the diary to his grand
son. who now for the first time puts 1t
into public print. 1t is an interesting
document, fresh. lively and abounding
in evidence that young Gallatin was
not at all overawed by the important
