CHARACTERS OF MR. TAZEWELL, BY THE HON. GEORGE LOYALL; BY WILLIAM
W. SHARP, ESQ., A PUPIL OF MR. TAZEWELL; BY THE LATE WILLIAM WIRT,
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES; AND BY THE LATE FRANCIS
WALKER GILMER, ESQ., PROFESSOR OF LAW IN THE UNIVERSITY OF
VIRGINIA.
The sketch of Mr. Tazewell by Mr. Loyall appeared under the editorial
head of the _Norfolk Argus_, on the 8th of May. It was written in haste,
but it shows the impression which Mr. Tazewell made on that able and
accomplished gentleman. None had a longer or a fairer view of Mr.
Tazewell for forty-five years past than Mr. Loyall, and it was mainly
owing to him that Mr. Tazewell was brought forward as a candidate for a
seat in the Senate of the United States.
[From the _Norfolk Argus_ of May 8, 1860.
