Not only did Mr. Benton obtain letters of the more notable personages in the field of American politics, history, literature and drama, as well as some important additions of British and French authors and statesmen; but, he also succeeded remarkably in his aim of collecting such examples as should contain interesting information relative to the writers' connection with important events of the period. With a few exceptions, every letter is accompanied by a portrait (in most cases engraved) of the writer, as well as by a typewritten transcript of the letter; while in a great number of instances a typewritten biographical note taken from Appleton's Biographical Cyclopedia accompanies the same.

In many instances, the portrait, and in a few cases the original letter, are neatly inlaid.
