Excerpt from Publications, Vol. 10

The following pages contain such of the speeches, debates, official and private correspondence, and miscellaneous writings of Millard Fillmore, as the editor has been able to bring together, without undue postponement of this publication.

On the evening of December 15, 1905, the Rev. William Elliot Griffis, D. D., addressed the Buffalo Historical Society at one of its regular meetings, his theme being "Millard Fillmore and his part in the opening of Japan." In 1906, in revising his address for publication by the Buffalo Historical Society, Dr. Griffis announced his purpose of collecting material for a biography of Mr. Fillmore, and solicited the cooperation especially of those who had personally know him. Certain reminiscences were therefore prepared, with a view to including them as an appendix in the volume containing Dr. Griffis' paper. It was soon perceived, however, that the best service that could be rendered, preliminary to the preparation of any adequate biography of Millard Fillmore, was to bring together as fully as possible, his own words, as found in speeches, correspondence, official or personal utterance of whatever sort.

This, then, was the purpose which has brought about the present collection. The editor is under no illusion as to its completeness. So far as Mr. Fillmore's utterances in official life are concerned, there are for the most part official records to turn to, and these have been faithfully gleaned. But of his personal correspondence, there apparently exists nowhere any considerable collection; and though the editor has prosecuted his search in many places, and through the obliging courtesy of many individual owners, and many custodians of institutions, has brought together a considerable body of material, it is obviously impossible to assert that nothing of importance remains undiscovered.

Partisan abuse and misrepresentation have been the lot of every President of the United States since Washington; but no President has been more maligned in his time, or in some respects more misrepresented, both in his own day and in after years, than Millard Fillmore.
