PREFACE The memoirs of Mrs. Clay, of Alabama, by whichtitle Mrs. Clement C. Clay, Jr. (now Mrs. Clay-Clopton),was known during the period comprised by 1850-87,begin in the middle of the second decade of the nineteenthcentury, the scenes being laid among the affluent planta-tions of North CaroHna and Alabama, and, continuingthrough two brilliant administrations at the nationalcapital, close, as she emerges from the distresses whichovertook her and her husband after the never-to-be-forgotten tragedy that plunged a nation into mourning—the death of Mr. Lincoln. In the researches made in order to obviate all possibleinaccuracies in these memoirs (a precaution alwaysnecessary where ones life has been long and experiencesso varied), I have come upon no record of any otherwoman of her time who has filled so powerful a placepolitically, whose belleship has been so long sustained,or whose magnetism and compelling fascinations haveswayed others so universally as have those of Mrs. Clay-Clopto
