Memoirs of Aaron Burr

Memoirs of Aaron Burr is presented with miscellaneous selections from his correspondence, in two volumes, this being Vol. I. The preface says that during a period of forty years the writer was intimately acquainted with Colonel Burr and has reason to suppose possessing his entire confidence.

A letter says that since commencement the writer has been at a Dutch wedding and expects to be at one or two more very shortly, with drinking, and singing, and fiddling, and dancing. A letter writer intends to start early to-morrow for Philadelphia, where the races and the play will be seen. A writer addressing Theodosia says that the man who does not love till thirty will never, never love, and asks whether Theodosia can really hope, with all that ingenuity, to convince the writer that such a being will enjoy equal happiness in marriage. A writer takes no letters of introduction but sends word to any gentleman whose acquaintance or hospitalities would be desired, and has always met a most cordial reception.
