Reseña del editor:

In most mens minds a certain spell of wonder attaches to the career and character of the Tammany Society and Tammany Hall. The long continuance of this dual power; its control of the city, infrequently interrupted, throughout the century ;the nature of its principles, the method of its practices and the character of its personnel all these combine to furnish a spectacle which exerts over the general mind a peculiar and strong fascination.

The few narratiyes already publfaibed were generally found to be either extra Tagaot panegyricf printed under the patronage of the Tammany Bodety, or else partisan attacks, riolent in style and untratb fnl in statement. Usually both were characterized by their paucity of real informatia Dno less than by the number of tiieir palpable error Bof et.
