Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Wit and Humor of American Statesmen: A Collection From Various Sources Classified Under Appropriate Subject Headings If that man is blessed who causes two blades of grass to sprout where but one grew before, then surely those of our public men who, aside from their labors for the common weal, contribute to the gayety of nations are to be doubly commended. In this volume are garnered and classified some of the many bright sayings perpetrated on the stump, in legislature and primary, in the halls of Congress - enlivening many a prosy and protracted debate - or wherever men of opposite political creeds meet and make the sparks of wit fly and scintillate. Probably in no other country does politics enter so largely and so intimately into the daily life of the people as in the United States, and nowhere else is the search-light of celebrity turned so relentlessly upon our public men, be they merely politicians or those who have graduated by sheer force of intellect into the higher rank of statesmen.
