Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Alexander H. Stephens "Dear Sirs, - The manuscript of the biography prepared by you, and submitted for my perusal, with the request that I should correct any errors that I might see in it, has been carefully read to me from beginning to end: and I have only to say that I think all the essential facts in regard to me and my acts are substantially correct, "Of course, I have not had time to compare the copies of the letters, or of the speeches, with the originals. The speeches, however, have all, I think, been published some time ago, in some form or other; most of them in the ´Congressional Globe´ and ´Record.´ If any error in them shall have crept into your copies, it can easily he discerned. As to the letters, in one instance I have suggested the addition of a few words, to make more clear the true meaning of what was intended at the time of a hasty writing; in another, I have suggested the change of two words; and in still another, the change of one word. These changes have been made with the same view. In no instance have these suggested changes marred or modified the original meaning in the slightest degree. I also suggested some foot-notes which may throw light upon the text. "For your very great labor, gentlemen, in selecting and arranging, out of the vast material before you, what you have thus presented, and which was so gratuitously undertaken, you have my sincere thanks. "As I said to you personally, I now repeat, that I yield my consent to the publication of the work in my lifetime only upon the ground of the many misrepresentations of my motives, objects, and acts on several occasions in my not uneventful public course. This letter, gentlemen, you are at liberty to use as you please. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
