assistance I have received in making <strong>the</strong>se things<br />

plain from <strong>the</strong> speeches <strong>of</strong> Senators Hoar, <strong>of</strong><br />

Massachusetts; Mason, <strong>of</strong> Illinois; Baker <strong>of</strong><br />

Georgia, and Daniells, <strong>of</strong> West Virginia; also from<br />

Mr. Chas. F. Adams, <strong>of</strong> Boston, and Pr<strong>of</strong>. Carl<br />

Schurz, <strong>of</strong> New York. <strong>The</strong> deep thought and<br />

careful study which <strong>the</strong>se eminent men have given<br />

this subject, although perhaps only from <strong>the</strong><br />

standpoint <strong>of</strong> political and philosophical, in<br />

contradistinction to prophetical, history, has been<br />

<strong>of</strong> great help to me in many ways.<br />

In commending my work to <strong>the</strong> public, I have<br />

only to say that what I have written has been<br />

written with an earnest desire to do good, that souls<br />

may escape <strong>the</strong> ruin which is surely to come upon<br />

<strong>the</strong> world. It has been written with malice toward<br />

none, with charity for all, with firmness in <strong>the</strong> right<br />

as God has given me to see <strong>the</strong> right.<br />
