"Mr. Pinkney is certainly one of the historical men of this
country: having filled some very important positions in her
councils and representations, and occupied an interesting
period of her history. His character has been marked, both as
the subject of admiration by his friends, and of aspersion
and suspicion by his enemies. This book comes forth to
defend and justify, and make more clear what was 'obviously
misunderstood or seemingly misrepresented.' The spirit of
the book is commendable, and gives us much to admire in
the life of one 'who adorned the republic of letters, and
illustrated the virtues that belong to the enlightened American
citizen.'"--_Cincin. Times._
