Something of Men I Have Known / With Some Papers of a General Nature, Political, Historical, and Retrospective

E-text prepared by an anonymous volunteer
Transcriber's notes:
The diaeresis is transcribed by a following hyphen.
The contraction n't appears both as a separate word and as a suffix in the text. Since this seems to be the choice of the Linotype operator, not the author, it has been changed to modern usage. Differing spellings of Lafayette and judgment have been standardized. The author's spelling of Pittsburg , Alleghanies , Tombs , McDougall , and Breckenridge has been retained.
Hyphenations at the end of lines have been eliminated wherever possible. Those remaining are words that are hyphenated elsewhere in the text, or in general usage.
A few corrections of punctuation and of single letters have been made.
This transcription was typed into MS-DOS Editor under Windows XP, spell-checked in Word Perfect, and examined with Gutcheck.
