    Needless to say, then, the executors are in no way responsible for any statement I have made concerning their father or anybody else or for any conclusions I have drawn.
   But to their unfailing aid, assistance and patience I must pay full tribute.  More than to any other single person, on the other hand, I am indebted to Professor Manning of the History Department, Swarthmore College.  Without his help and learning, particularly with respect to the chapters on the Supreme Court, the book could not have been written.  Yet he, too, is hereby absolved from all responsibility.
   It should be noted, perhaps, that this is not a legalistic account of a lawyer who became President and then Chief Justice.  The writer has had no training in the law.  I hope that it is an objective account of a man whom the public sometimes regarded as too large and too jolly but whose soul was, in fact, often tortured.  (From Pringle’s foreword, concluded from volume one.)
