Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Character of the a William a Graham Gentlemen Of The Judiciary And Bar: When I learned that, under a resolution adopted by the Bench and Bar of the Supreme Court, I had been appointed to deliver an "Address on the Life and Character of the Hon. William A. Graham," I stayed not to question my own sufficiency for the duty to which you assigned me. Coming from such a source, the appointment had to me somewhat the force of a command. No command, however, could have been more grateful, since it had for its object to do honor to one for whom I have ever cherished a veneration and affection which hardly knew a limit. One word will be permitted me as to the manner in which this duty has been performed. It will be seen that my sole object has been to present a faithful sketch of the life of this illustrious man, together with such reflections as naturally arose out of a study of his career - such as were suggested by a consideration of his labors, his motives and his aims. I have adopted this course from a profound conviction that the truest narrative of his life would be his best monument; that the highest eulogy that could be pronounced upon him would be to present him just as he was. In the execution of this design I have been led to touch, at one point, upon that period of our own history when the existing political parties of the day had their origin, and when, political feeling was very much embittered; at another, to a somewhat extended examination of a statement contained in a recent address published in Our Living and Our Dead.
