The works written on Jackson are very numerous. Probably the best is the biography written by Parton, defective as it is. Professor W. E. Sumner’s work, in the series of “American Statesmen,” is full of interesting and important facts, especially in the matters of tariff and finance. See also Benton’s Thirty Years in the United States Senate; Cobbett’s Life of Jackson; Curtis’s Life of Webster; Colton’s Life and Times of Henry Clay, as well as Carl Schurz on the same subject; Von Holst, Life of Calhoun; Memoir of John Quincy Adams; Tyler’s Life of Taney; Sargent’s Public Men; the Speeches of Webster, Clay, and Calhoun.
