Bancroft in volume 8, chapter 70, of the History
of the United States, says, “this immortal State
paper which, for its composer, was the aurora of enduring
fame, was `the genuine effusion of the soul
of the country at that time', the revelation of its
mind, when in its youth, its enthusiasm, its sublime
confronting of danger, it rose to the highest creative
powers of which man is capable”.—Editor.
