Description:Excerpt from Memoir of Thurlow Weed The reader, as he lays down the first volume of this work, will say, After all, there can be no picture of a man's life so vivid as that which is drawn by his own hand. And it is a matter of regret that Mr. Weed left unfinished the record which he began; that he was prevented, by various causes, from con tinning the story of his youth, with the same freedom and mi nuteness of detail, down through years which witnessed the contest in Kansas; the collapse of the old Whig party and the birth of its successor; the dissolution of the firm of Seward, Weed Greeley, and the war for the Union. In devoting the ensuing pages largely to the period between 1840 and 1882, and more particularly to that between 1850 and 1867, the writer is but carrying out the purpose which his grandfather cherished. When possible, as it has been often, Mr. Weed's own words, in well-remembered conversations, in newspaper articles, or in unpublished fragments of autobiog raphy, have been employed. As frequently, the narrative is carried on by selections from the letters which passed between him and other public men. Written without reserve, and of course without a thought of publication, these letters illumine with wonderful distinctness and fidelity, not only the characters of those who wrote them, but the times in which they lived.
