Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lives of John Jay and Alexander Hamilton Having undertaken to furnish a sketch of the Life of Jay for the "School District Library," the assent of his son, the Hon. William Jay, was asked and liberally granted. The large and interesting memoir which he has published of his father was then placed in the hands of one of my sons for the purpose of selecting the dates and facts necessary for the purpose. This task was executed by him in such a manner as to leave me little else to do but suppress some parts which would have swelled the sketch beyond the proposed limits. It is therefore given to the world under his name. It will probably be seen, that, adopting on almost all occasions the views entertained by Judge William Jay of the character and merits of his father, there are slight differences in the colour given to public acts, and in estimates of men and measures, from those adopted by me in the biographical sketches of Clinton and Hamilton. It has not been thought necessary to reconcile these discrepances, particularly as they will afford the reader a better opportunity of forming his own opinion.
