Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biographies of the State Officers and Thirty-Third General Assembly of Illinois Containing Biographical Sketches of the Governor and Other State Officers, and Each Senator and Representative in the Thirty-Third General Assembly In the preparation of this work, much difficulty has been experienced on account of its novelty and the erroneous impression that whatever might be said in praise of the subjects presented, would be construed as-having been written by themselves. Such is not the case, and, after many trials and tribulations, resulting from our own inexperience in soliciting, and from the diffidence and discourtesy of a few members of both branches of the Assembly, we now have the pleasure of submitting our work. We should have been pleased to embody within this volume the biographies of the Judicial Department of our State Government and the various boards and commissions in charge of the charitable, agricultural and reformatory institutions of the State; but limited time prevents the consummation of our desire. We hope to see our initial volume meet with approbation; but it is human to err, and, although no time or pains has been spared in the preparation of our work, we shall be most agreeably disappointed, if it proves to be absolutely correct in every part. We have endeavored to make this album of sketches a valuable, handsome and interesting volume. How well we have succeeded, is left to the judgment of its readers. To the daily papers of Springfield, we extend our thanks for numerous favors. We are under special obligations to the State Journal and Odd Fellows´ Herald for the privileges of access to their files, for valuable information, and kindly notices of the progress of our labors. Hoping that our days of hardship and nights of waking have not been in vain, and that this book will be accepted as the honest work of honest men, who have employed no misrepresentations to attain success, we leave it to its office, with kind regards for our liberal and numerous patrons.
