Excerpt from The Lives and Opinions of Benj'n Franklin Butler: United States District Attorney for the Southern District of New-York He is far from amusing himself with the expecta tion of a general assent to the truth of his conclu sions. Some will probably dispute the rectitude of the principles of decision, and some will dissent from the legitimacy of their application. Nevertheless, he believes that the number of those whose Opinions will accord with his own, is increasing, and will yet much more increase; and this belief is sufficiently confident, to induce him to publish an essay which will probably be the subject of contempt to some men, and of ridicule to others - But ridicule and contempt are not potent reasoners.

8vo, 21cm, 152p., rebound in black fabrikoid, gilt spine titles, fine thus. (Cdn) Sabin H43436. Lande s1423. Gagnon I-2198. An interesting publication issued during Mackenzie's period of exile in the United States, and prepared while working as a custom house clerk in New York City. It reflects his disgust with corruption in the Van Buren administration. The book became a best-seller but publication was suspended, by court order, after 50, 000 had been put on the market. (Kilbourn, The Firebrand). ". Mackenzie was prominent in the Canadian rebellion of 1837, fled to the States as a fugitive with a price on his head. In accordance with New York usage he was made much of, and given a place in the customs. In an unused attic he discovered a trunk left by Jesse Hoyt when he went out of office years before. The trunk was full of letters from prominent politicians-B. F. Butler, John Van Buren, Gov. Marcy, Edwin Croswell, Jas. Gordon Bennett, Martin Van Bren, Silas Wright and others. From these letters Mackenzie published selections, which throw much light on the political methods of the past." From the Catalogue of Edgar A. Werner, Albany N.Y. published in 1892 ". Lande.
