Excerpt from The Conspiracy Trials of 1826 and 1827: A Chapter in the Life of Jacob Barker The appearance of the present volume, at a time so remote from the date of the transactions described, may be a matter of surprise to some, while, from the character of the subjects presented, others may think it were better the work had never been published. Many of the prominent actors in the events referred to, and their cotemporaries who were interested in them at the time of their occurrence, have passed away, and those who survive have reached a period of life when men seek to escape, in repose and tranquillity, from the more stirring and exciting recollections of earlier manhood. More than a generation stands between us and the events of 1826 and 1827, a period into which has been crowded more of human history and human progress than into centuries of the earlier time. Jacob Barker still lives, and in-the giant strides of the present generation has borne his part and helped to make its history.
