Note 140 — Chapter XII · DEFEAT OF BURR AND DEATH OF HAMILTON 1804

Hamilton's Works (Lodge), Vol. 7, p. 325. "The struggle for control between Hamilton and the conspirators lasted to the eve of the election,—secret, stifled, mysterious; the intrigue of men afraid to avow their aims, and seeming rather driven by their own passions than guided by lofty and unselfish motives."—Henry Adams, History of the United States, Vol. 2, p. 184.
