Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from United States of America, Vol. 4: Under the Constitution; 1831 1847
IN preparing this fourth volume i have availed myself, as before, Of all library facilities and all historical collee tions to be found in Boston and Washington. Among the many works which are cited in these pages, I desire to make especial mention of Hubert H. Bancroft's History of the Pacific States, which throws much light upon our Mexican relations and the conquest Of Texas and Califor nia also of the Lives of the Tylers, by John Tyler's sons.* I have, besides, gained valuable information upon impor tant points from Secretary Bayard, Of the State Depart ment; from William Allen Butler, the custodian of the Van Buren papers; and from the venerable George Ban croft, the last survivor Of Polk's momentous administration.
