By JOHN SPENCER BASSETT, Ph.D.
With Illustrations. New Edition. Two Volumes in One
Cloth, 8vo, $2.50
This is a one-volume edition of a biography that has, since its first publication several years ago, come to be regarded as one of the most faithful stories of Jackson’s life and of its effect on the nation that has ever been written. Professor Bassett has not slighted Jackson’s failings or his virtues; he has tried to refrain from commenting upon his actions; he has sought to present a true picture of the political manipulations which surrounded Jackson and in which he was an important factor. The volume contributes largely to a clearer realization not only of the character of a great man but also of the complex period in which he lived.
