Excerpt from A Review of Pierce's Administration: Showing Its Only Popular Measures to Have Originated With the Executive of Millard Fillmore

The administration of Franklin Pierce is the subject of the chapters in this work. Had it been marked only by ordinary events, the writer would never have undertaken the task of reviewing it. But, as it has been one of the most extraordinary in its acts and policy which has characterized the annals of our country, and as history is philosophy teaching by experience, a true analysis and exposition of the principal acts of the administration have been deemed of paramount import ance, not only for the instruction and benefit of the present generation, but for statesmen and the rising generation who may come after us.
