Biographies of Francis Lewis and Morgan Lewis

General Morgan Lewis himself had served with distinction through the war Of the Revolution, and the war of 1812 and 1814. He had been Chief Justice and Governor of the State of New York; he had filled every Office that his fellow-citi zens in his native State had it in their power to bestow upon him. He did not refuse when we urged him to write his memoirs, but he always put it off to a more convenient season, which season, of course.
