Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biographical Sketch of the Hon.: Lazarus W. Powell It is to be feared that the effort we have made to depict the character and public services of the Hon. Lazarus W. Powell will be regarded, by many of our readers, more as a eulogy than a biography. Every written memoir of a truly good man must necessarily partake of this character. Had there been anything in his private life or in his public career worthy of general condemnation, or even of severe censure, we cannot suppose that the duty we have endeavored to perform would ever have been imposed upon us by the General Assembly. The maxim, de mortuis nil nisi bonum, is always applicable where there are living representatives of one´s blood and name to be affected by the condemnation of the dead. The fact, therefore, that the representatives of his own people, so soon after his death, have directed his biography to be written, is evidence of the purity of his record - of the high estimation in which he was held by their entire constituencies. It is a singular circumstance, in connection with our search after details concerning the private life of Governor Powell, that our inquiries, with rare exceptions, have met with only general answers. "He was a most genial gentleman," is the usual reply that we have received from men of all parties and all creeds, at home and abroad. One writes: "He was always true to his principles and to his friends, and he was ever ready to forgive those who had done him injury."
