Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Samuel Sullivan Cox Samuel Sullivan Cox occupies an unique place in American history. Precisely his parallel has not been known. As was well said by Dr. Talmage, at his obsequies: "It will be useless to try to describe to another generation who or what he was like. He was the first and the last of that kind of man." His distinguishing characteristic was his versatility - his many-sidedness. He had a marvelous faculty of adaptation. It is difficult to conceive of an emergency to which he would not have proved equal, or a situation in which he would not have made himself quite "at home." He was unquestionably a genius; but, unlike most men thus gifted, he was an indefatigable worker. He had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and would hesitate at no exploration in search of it. Men marveled not only at the extent and diversity of his knowledge, but even more at its thoroughness and profundity. He confounded the savants themselves, who could not understand when he had had the time or where he had found the opportunity to delve so deep into the mysteries of the sciences or philosophy.
