Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recollections of Samuel Breck: With Passages From His Note-Books (1771-1862) Mr. Samuel Breck, whose recollections occupy this volume, died in Philadelphia, August 31, 1862, at the age of ninety-one years and forty-six days. His memory, which was excellent to the last, could thus span the entire period embraced in the history of our country from the beginning of the war for Independence to that of the war for Union. The incidents in his life were varied; his early associations were with the best society in Boston, his native town; his education in France gave him not only a familiarity with foreign life, but an intimate acquaintance with the French exiles and travellers to this country; his public life took him to Harrisburg and Washington, and made him a valued member not only of the government of Philadelphia, but of various charitable, literary and financial institutions; while his social position enabled him to associate with the most educated and refined classes in the city.
