Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of George Troup The biography of George M. Troup is submitted to the public, in the hope that it will be useful, and that its defects will be indulgently considered. Undertaken at the request of friends, whose opinions are worthy of regard, the work has grown to proportions not at first foreseen; and much of the labor has arisen from the difficulty of deciding what portions of a mass of materials, could, with least injury, be omitted. Taking into view the length of time Governor Troup was before the public, and the important measures in which he acted, this difficulty is easily seen. Little merit is claimed for the work, beyond the labor of a compilation. Governor Troup is generally permitted to speak for himself: few speak so well; none more truthfully. It is possible, undue prominence has been given to some portions of his history; but it is hoped no important part of his public life has been omitted. His private correspondence must have been extensive; and, without doubt, much of it has been irrecoverably lost. Some of his letters, written in the privacy of friendship, are, for the first time, published; and they contribute no little to the interest of his biography. This interest would have been increased by the publication of other private letters - especially those relating to agriculture, in which their author felt deep concern; but this was forbidden by the prescribed limits of this volume. To preserve connection in the history, and present its facts in their order, documents have been interwoven in the body of the work; and they constitute its principal value. With a view to bring the volume into suitable compass, and a desire not to give matters merely political too great preference, some of the documents have been put in an Appendix in small type. It is scarcely necessary to state that the book has been printed wholly in Savannah; or to express the hope that it will be found as free from typographical errors as books usually are.
