Notes
-
Epigraph: 'Man may be justly entitled the great destroyer and exterminator of life, without regard to time, place, or circumstance. All the destructive animals fulfill their dire offices upon creatures belonging to other kinds. Even the insatiable ferocious tiger keeps aloof from his brethren of blood. But when the drums roll, and the trumpets clang; when the banner folds are shaken abroad upon the air - then is man with his boasted reason, preparing to spill the blood of his brother, to drive his desolating chariot over the faces of his kindred, spread havoc and despair before his path, and leave famine and pestilence to track his footsteps.-'
