Excerpt from The Works of James Buchanan, Vol. 1: Comprising His Speeches, State Papers, and Private Correspondence, Collected and Edited

The publication of the works of James Buchanan, in the present comprehensive form, was assured by the action of the late Mrs. Henry E. Johnston, formerly Harriet Lane, who, toward the close of her interesting and well-spent life, determined to give this final proof of her devotion to her uncle's memory. To those who have read the excellent biography of Buchanan written by George Ticknor Curtis, and published by the Harpers in 1883, it is unnecessary to speak of the exceptional relation which sub sisted between Buchanan and his niece, a relation characterized on the one side by perfect care and confidence, and on the other by a loyalty and veneration that never wavered.
