e〃 （1885）； John T。 Morse； 〃John Quincy Adams。〃 Those who have not patience to read E。 L。 Pierce's ponderous 〃Memoir and Letters of Charles Sumner；〃 4 vols。 （1877… 1893）； would do well to read G。 H。 Haynes's 〃Charles Sumner〃 （1909）。 The history of the conflict in Kansas is closely associated with the lives of two rival candidates for the honor of leadership in the cause of freedom。 James Redpath in his 〃Public Life of Captain John Brown〃 （1860）； Frank B。 Sanborn in his 〃Life and Letters of John Brown〃 （1885）； and numerous other writers give to Brown the credit of leadership。 The opposition view is held by F。 W。 Blackmar in his 〃Life of Charles Robinson〃 （1902）； and by Robinson himself in his Kansas Conflict （2d ed。； 1898）。 The best non…partizan biography of Brown is O。 G。 Villard's 〃John Brown； A Biography Fifty Years After〃 （1910）。 The Underground Railroad has been adequately treated in W。 H。 Siebert's 〃The Underground Railroad from Slavery to Freedom〃 （1898）； but Levi Coffin's 〃Reminiscences〃 （1876） gives an earlier autobiographical account of the origin and management of an important line； while Mrs。 Stowe's 〃Uncle Tom's Cabin〃 throws the glamour of romance over the system。 For additional bibliographical information the reader is referred to the articles on 〃Slavery； Fugitive Slave Laws； Kansas； William Lloyd Garrison； John Brown； James Gillespie Birney；〃 and 〃Frederick Douglass〃 in 〃The Encyclopaedia Britannica〃 （11th Edition）。
