Life of Roger Brooke Taney - Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court #220989

Miss Eleanor M. Johnson, of Frederick, has kindly permitted the reproduction of the silhouette of Taney, made while he resided in that town, and J. Henry Baker, Esq., of Baltimore, has generously loaned the cut of the painting of Taney which belongs to Dickinson College. The author's thanks are due to John E. Semmes, Esq., and to Lawrence C. Wroth for courtesies shown during the preparation of the work. During the printing of the book, Judge Taney has become a household word in our family. Should a formal dedication have seemed wise, it would have been made to the memory of the conversations held, concern ing the preparation of this book, with my wife and sons.
