Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of George Washington: Written for the Use of Schools The valuable School Book, now presented to the public, was written by the late John Marshall, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, not long before his lamented death. It is adapted to the instruction of the rising generation, and contains, in a condensed form, the substance of the author´s larger work. Its appearance has been hitherto delayed by circumstances connected with the publication of the revised edition of that great work. The character of Chief Justice Marshall as a historian for research, truth, and impartiality, is equal, if not superior, to that of any other uninspired writer. As illustrative of that character, the following extract is made from the Honorable Horace Binney´s Eulogy: - "He composed and published, in the year 1804, a copious biography of Washington, surpassing in authenticity and minute accuracy, any public history with which we are acquainted. He found time also to revise it, and to publish a second edition, separating the history of the American Colonies from the biography, and to prepare, with his own pen, an edition of the latter for the use of schools. Every part of it is marked with the scrupulous veracity of a judicial exposition; and it shows, moreover, how deeply the writer was imbued with that spirit which will live after all the compositions of men shall be forgotten, - the spirit of charity, which could indite a history of the revolution and of parties, in which he was a conspicuous actor, without discoloring his pages with the slightest infusion of gall. It could not be written with more candor an hundred years hence." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
