The sudden and unexpected termination of the earthly career of the lamented TAYLOR, seems to have called for a final chapter to the great Hero's Life; including the closing scene of his death.— This is incorporated in the present edition by the esteemed author; and it is now offered to the Public as the only complete record yet issued from the press, of the main incidents in the life of one who "never surrendered," but to the Great Conqueror of all. AUBURN, September, 1850.

TO THE REVISED EDITION.

THE sale of the previous editions of the Life of Taylor, and his election to the Presidency of the United States, has induced the publishers to issue a new edition, believing that the favor which the work has thus far met with from the public, demand of them a continuance of the history. It has been undertaken by the compiler, and the chain of events in the life of the extraordinary man of whose history it treats, is brought down to the present time, including a sketch of the leading features connected with the political campaign which resulted in his election to the Presidency. The work has therefore been much enlarged, if not improved, and it is trusted has thereby been rendered more acceptable to the public.
