Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Public Services of George Luther Stearns At the time of George L. Stearns´ death, Whittier and Emerson united in paying their finest tribute to the character and public services of a man whom they considered to surpass all others they had known in magnanimity and disinterested endeavor. This, however, was soon forgotten in the whirl of fresh events, and the new issues which came with them; and another generation came onto the stage to whom his name was no longer familiar. It is hoped that the present biography will do much to restore his former reputation. There were more important men in those days, it must be admitted, but it was the peculiar excellence of Mr. Stearns´ work that he repeatedly served to fill a gap in public affairs for which no one else would seem to have been prepared. This account of him has been compiled partly from documentary evidence and in part from family traditions, which, if not true to the letter, are substantially true; and this is all that can be expected of documentary evidence when it relates to facts which are not before the eye of the writer.
