Quitman, 2 vols., New York, 1860.-An excellent biography containing numerous and valuable selections from Quitman's correspondence.

Coleman, Mrs. Chapman, The Life of John J. Crittenden, with selections from his correspondence and speeches, 2 vols., Philadelphia, 1871.-A fine selection of letters, public and private.
