Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from George Mason of Virginia: An Address This speech of Mr. Machen is such a complete summary of the life, character and works of George Mason, and the occasion of its delivery one so interesting, not only to the relatives of all the distinguished men whose portraits were presented, but to all Virginians who love their State and are proud of her history, that an apology for this effort to preserve the record in more permanent form is scarcely needed. It was desired to have the entire record of that occasion, including all the speeches and all the portraits, gathered into one volume. But finding this too large an undertaking, I leave it to some future historian of the records of old Fairfax. At the request of several representative members of the family, this work is undertaken primarily for the purpose of placing in the hands of every descendant of Mason a reliable sketch of their ancestor, of whom most of them know very little beyond the name. It is hoped that many who read this will seek to study his history more fully in that admirable biography written by Miss Kate Mason Rowland, and published in 1892 by Putnam´s Sons, to which work we are indebted for most of the data in this booklet. In his eloquent introduction to Kate Mason Rowland´s life of George Mason, General Fitzhugh Lee says: "He was indeed the people´s man in a people´s government.
