Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Biographical Annals of the Civil Government of the United States: From Original and Official Sources The success which attended the publication of my Dictionary of Congress has induced me to enlarge upon the scope and design of that work, so as to embrace the entire Civil Government of the United States during the first century of its existence. In doing this I have endeavored to present, within a convenient space, and in biographical form, the names and public services of all those who have, in a prominent manner, been identified with the National and State Governments of the Republic. The Biographical Sketches number about seven thousand, and these I have illustrated with a series of Tabular Records and Papers of an historical character, in which will be found eight thousand additional names, making a total of fifteen thousand personal references in the volume. The classes of persons included are the Delegates to the Colonial and Continental Congresses; the Senators, Representatives, and Territorial Delegates of the Federal Congress; Cabinet Ministers; Justices of the Supreme and other Federal Courts; Officials of the Executive Departments; Governors of Status and Territories: Diplomatic Ministers, and such other men as have held positions of honor and trust in the civil service, exerted an influence on public affairs, or acquitted themselves with acknowledged credit. Indeed, in a few instances, I have over-stepped the line which separates the civil from the military and naval history, but all the names thus added have a place in the hearts of their countrymen, and no apology, I trust, will be required for their introduction. My purpose has been to give, in the most concise and impartial manner, a practical and comprehensive idea of the working of our Government, as exhibited through its personal representatives at home and abroad.
