Native Virginian August 7, 1868
Herdon's Life. -After Herndon had finished his pretended Confession, he amused his 
leisure moments by writing his Life. We have seen and read a portion of the MS. It 
covers more than a hundred pages of foolscap, reiterates the assertion that Miss 
Lumsden committed suicide, and is made up mainly of accounts of love-scrapes with 
various females, trivial personal reminiscences of business with sundry 
individuals, together with his career during the war and copious pious 
ejaculations, warnings and moral lessons addressed to the reader. It throws no 
light on the dark and horrible crime with which he is charges. Edgar A. Poe would 
revel in this mysterious tale, and, with his fine powers of analysis, night 
possibly unravel it.
