DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF FRANCES DEVEREUX POLK THE WIFE OF LEONIDAS POLK
PREFACE.
The author expresses here his indebtedness to the Rev. John Fulton, D.D., for the invaluable aid rendered by him in the preparation of this book. Dr. Fulton's close association with Bishop Polk as Assistant Rector and Rector of Trinity Church, New Orleans, during the period covered by Chapters VI. and VII. of Volume I. has enabled him to write more fully and correctly of the events of that period than was possible to any one else. These chapters are therefore presented, practically, as he wrote them.
The page headings, chapter headings, and index are the work of Mr. E. E. Treffry. The completeness with which he has performed this task will be best appreciated by those engaged in biographical and historical research.
