Excerpt from The Life of John Randolph of Roanoke, Vol. 1
To Mrs. Elizabeth Bryan, who is the niece of Mr. Ban dolph, and to Mr. Bryan himself, who is the son of his earli est friend, we are indebted for the interesting oorresponclenoe to be found in the first volume of this work. To Mrs. Dudley, Judge Beverly Tucker, the Hon. J ohn Taliaferro, and Grover nor Tazewell, who were the youthful companions and school mates of Mr. Randolph7 we are indebted for the incidents of his early life. By far the most interesting and important part of the work is the copious and unreserved correspondence of Mr. Randolph with the late and much lamented Francis S. Key, Esq, of Washington, and Dr. John Brockenbrough, of Vir ginia. This latter gentleman was, par excellence, the friend of his bosom. Not a thought or a feeling was concealed from him.
