Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life and Times of Capt. R. A. Paul: An Authentic and Abbreviated History of His Career From Boyhood to the Present Time; Containing a Reliable Account of the Politics of Virginia From 1874 to the Present Time No department of reading can be more interesting and elevating to the young and ambitious than that of biography. The difficulties overcome, the obstacles surmounted, the courage displayed, and the various methods of achieving success as manifested in the lives of men, tend to reveal the true, "royal road" of life. The rich literature of the English, French, Italians, Germans, and other nations is profusely enlarged by biographical writings. The interesting but somewhat meagre literature of the Colored People of America is adorned with but little such. This fact, too, furnishes us with a ground of hope that this volume will be received by an indulgent public with the same friendliness and generosity with which my "The Negro Race, the Pioneer in Civilization" and "A Lecture on the Sun" were accepted but a short time ago. It is my sincerest desire that it may inspire our young men with a lofty ambition to rise in the scale of manhood, and to live so nobly that their lives will be worthy of recording. It is also hoped that other gentlemen who have achieved glory for their people in the arena of politics may record their lives for the benefit of coming generations.
