Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Writings of James Monroe, Vol. 1: Including a Collection of His Public and Private Papers and Correspondence Now for the First Time Printed; 1778-1794 Plain, practical, didactic, - a man of action, not of words, - he was efficient and potential in wondrous works of usefulness, and the thousands a thousandfold more brilliantly illumed by genius were not half so successful by force of good common sense and the inspiration of a good earnest purpose. - Henry A. Wise. Of the writings of our statesmen none possess a more timely interest and value to the student of American history than those of James Monroe. More than fifty years´ public service connect him with the most important and vital interests of our country. The industry and success with which in the Congress of the Confederation, and subsequently, he contributed to the vindication of our national right to the navigation of the Mississippi, and, sensible of the incompetency of the powers of Congress under the Confederation, introduced his resolution urging the several States to vest that body with power to regulate commerce, - the first step towards the convention at Annapolis, leading to that of Philadelphia and to the adoption of our present Constitution, - would alone render his services conspicuous and endear his life and memory to his countrymen. His career as a soldier in the war of the Revolution was useful and gallant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
