Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Writings of Alexander James Dallas A Delay of forty-five years in issuing this publication can be ascribed with justice only to the exigencies of professional, and the duties of public life. Nor do I regret the delay. Numerous changes in the plan first formed have been calmly considered and adopted. Immense piles of correspondence were subjected to repeated winnowing. The desire to simplify and compress as much as a distinct development of character could authorize, increased with the lapse of time. Some of the letters to and from Mr. Dallas are incorporated in the text, furnishing, as they do, the best possible insights into particular periods of his life, and connected, as they are, with events of the day. Those of Mr. Madison and Mr. Duponceau are set apart as entitled to separate preservation, be cause they were revised and returned to me by their respective writers with that view. So also, as illustrating argumentative and oratorical powers, extracts are made from certain speeches, more or less ample,, as perspicuity or the importance of the subject seemed to re quire; but no formal collection of innumerable and brilliant, displays at the bar is attempted. Such a collection, while it could have but little general interest, would necessarily lead, into a labyrinth of detail.
