xxiii, [24]-706, [4] pp. 8vo. "An objective biography of the much-despised Burr that is considered the best nineteenth-century life of the man because of its careful research. It depicts Burr as smart and able, though brought to ruin by his own shortcomings. A very popular book in the 19th century, and the North American Review declares that "it ought to be read by every American who would know the history of his own country." Parton was the most popular biographer of his day in America. Among his other important books are Life of Horace Greeley (1855), Life of Andrew Jackson (1859-1860), Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin (1864), Life of Thomas Jefferson (1874), and Life of Voltaire (1881)."
