Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Administrations of Washington and John Adams, Vol. 1 of 2: Edited From the Papers of Oliver Wolcott, Secretary of the Treasury No writer probably ever escaped criticism by deprecating it. Least of all can one claim an exemption who has awakened anew, quarrels which, if not forgotten, have been suffered to slumber, and renewed a warfare which had slackened in its animosity. The editor of these volumes certainly can claim no favour as a right, and solicits none in mercy. He has ventured to put his case on the merits and must stand or fall by them. One thing only he would say, and that somewhat perhaps in the style of the painter who labelled his animals lest they should be mistaken. It is, to explain the design on which he has proceeded. His first intention was merely to produce a biographical sketch of an honored parent, whose services he believed entitled him to such commemoration, and whose actions he conceived had been misunderstood and misrepresented.
