Then our hearts are warmed, our resolves strengthened, and our hopes encouraged to increase and magnify our own parts in the ever-acting drama. Biography may be said to be the key to history. It admits us into the privacies and behind the scenes, and makes us acquainted with the separate parts Of the great whole.

Indeed, he \modestly confesses this in the few words he devotes to the subject in his Auto biography, where he says, referring to history for this portion of his career From a belief that, under the pressure of the invasion under which we were then laboring, the public would have more confidence in a military chief, and that the military commander, being invested with the civil power also, both might be wielded with more energy, promptitude and effect for the defence of the State, I resigned the administra tion at the end of my second year, and General Nelson was appointed to sue ceed me.
