Excerpt from The American Crisis, or Pages From the Note-Book of a State Agent During the Civil War, Vol. 1 of 2

With no pretension to literary merit, no claim to the cohesion of a studied history, no strict chronological sequence or me thodical arrangement, I am yet not without h0pe that future historians may find in this little work some few elucida tions of the secret workings of the political machinery during one of the most dificult and important eras of American history. Though sometimes indulging in a tone of playful irony, I trust I have never descended to flippancy, or the ridicule of grave and serious subjects. Pending his long anticipated amnesty, and in the face of the sad memories of the recent war, an exiled American finds little cause for laughter; but, y or grave, whatever is here presented to an indulgent public will conduce, I trust, to the cause of truth.
