S. Bassett, on behalf of the American Historical
Association, gave permission to use the maps for
the presidential elections of 1836 and 1840 for
the southern states in The Whig Party in the
South. Dr. C. O. Paullin of the Carnegie Insti-
tution of Washington rendered signal aid in
locating data for the preparation of the election
maps. Mr. J. C. Fitzpatrick of the Manuscripts
Division of the Library of Congress was untiring
in his efforts to assist the author in his search for
material. Acknowledgment is due the South
Atlantic Quarterly for permission to use the
author's article, "Politics in the Administration of
John Quincy Adams," which contains the sub-
stance of the first chapter of this study.
