Bibliography 



"Note: The works of Allan Nevins and Herbert Agar are particu- 
larly helpful in commencing a study of this nature; and Haynes's 
history of trie Senate, Cate’s biography of Lamar, De Witt’s re- 
count of the Johnson impeachment, and William S. White’s biogra- 
phy of Taft are basic reference works which have been essential 
to my research . — ^jfk
