and evermore blended inseparably with Emancipation — with the legal and National recognition of every man's right to himself. Thenceforward, with momentary intervals of anxiety, depression, and doubt, it has been to me a labor of love to devote every available hour to the history of the American Conflict. This Volume is essentially Military, as the former was Civil: that is, it treats mainly of Armies, Marches, Battles, Sieges, and the alternations of good and ill fortune that, from January, 1862, to May, 1865, befell the contending forces respectively of the Union and the Confederacy.

Throughout January, 1862, this ranged from 1 to 5 per cent.; in February, its range of fluctuation was within those extremes, or from 2 1/2 to 4 3/4 per cent. In March, April, and May-though the Legal Tender act had meantime been passed and the issue of treasury notes (or greenbacks) commenced — the range was from 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 per cent.; but in June it mounted to 9 1/2; and in July (after McClellan's failure before Richmond) to 20 1/2 per cent.
