Book Description
Correspondence from George W. Clinton to John Torrey, dated 1828-1869, beginning with Clinton's first letter to Torrey, written when the former was a young law student. The bulk of the collection, however, is from the 1860s, with Clinton writing as an older man to his lifelong friend. Discussions range from botanical issues and Clinton's involvement with the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences ("I want the whole world to go botanizing") to the personal pleasures of his visits with Torrey and his family-- particularly Torrey's daughter Margaret-- and the trials of old age. "I have not got the spunk of a magnanimous mouse," he playfully complains in 1868. Obsolete plant names mentioned include Antirrhinum elatine and Trillium erythrocarpum.

Book Description
For Secretary of State Henry Clay and the Adams administration, 1827 is a year of crisis. Turbulent relations with Latin America are marked by the seizure of American trading vessels off Montevideo. Border strife with Britain threatens in northern Maine, while American retaliation for the closing of the British West Indies to U.S. trade provokes warnings of war from the opposition in Congress. With the campaign for the next presidency in full swing, Clay is again forced to defend himself against Andrew Jackson's charges of "bribery and corruption." Opposition gains in the fall elections foreshadow Jackson's 1828 victory, but at year's end, the resilient Clay continues to hope. Publication of this book was assisted by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.
