I thumbed through the Alexander biography the other day. Having read (and 
almost memorized, long ago) the Hamilton biography, Alexander seems to be 
borrowing heavily from this earlier text--or at least, he is using exactly 
the same sources Hamilton used. I didn't find anything that looked like a 
new insight.
