Here he remained a year, and on his return to the city of New-York entered the office of George W. Strong as a student-at-law, where he remained until admitted to the practice of the law. On his return from Litchfield his early taste for travelling developed itself.

After an absence of some months, he returned home by sea, from New-Orleans and resumed his study of law. At the end of his novitiate he entered upon the practice of the law, at which he continued for about eight years; but he never felt or exhibited much ardor or zeal in the pursuit of this profession. During that period he took a somewhat active interest in politics, united himself to the Democratic party, and became a sort of pet speaker at Tammany Hall.
He always advocated the doctrine of free trade, and was strongly opposed to all monopolies.

Although they sent people out to record the history, they greedily kept this information to themselves, and hid the location of the hundreds of ruins we are now only discovering, and only now beginning to dicipher the hieroglyphics.
