Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Alexander Hamilton, Vol. 1 of 2 It is now many years ago that I first conceived the purpose of writing a "Life of Alexander Hamilton." The undertaking was repeatedly postponed with the intention of awaiting some period of leisure; but as from year to year the prospect of that period seemed to recede rather than to approach I at last despaired of its ever arriving, and some four years ago entered upon my task without farther delay, and have since prosecuted it in such intervals as I could snatch from professional occupation. Doubtless the work could have been much better done by some student of American history who could have devoted his unbroken days to the topic, and made it the sole object of his reading and reflection. But as none such has appeared in nearly three-quarters of a century, I have ventured to make my effort. The object which I have had in view has been not so much to produce a learned and elaborate biography as a narrative which persons with no more than the average desire for information concerning the history of their country might be willing to read.
