Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Speeches of Hon. George Brown In undertaking to prepare a memoir of the late Hon. George Brown, the writer desired to present to the public a faithful representation of his character in a personal and public sense, but mainly to show his position as a representative of the people. It was naturally supposed at the time of Mr. Brown´s death that abundant material for this purpose would be found amongst his papers. This belief was not sustained when an examination was made. He had given little attention to the preservation of papers affecting himself, though of the utmost interest respecting many public events in which he had borne a leading ∂ many reminiscences of a more personal character were also lost which would have thrown light on his private life. Mr. Brown seems not to have given a thought to the systematic preservation of documents which would have been of material use in presenting a perfectly faithful representation of what he really was as a public man and a private citizen. A somewhat intimate personal acquaintance, and a political connection of more than a quarter of a century, have enabled the writer to supply to some extent what was found to be wanting; if the information available on some subjects is not quite as exact as would be desirable, no opinions are expressed or conclusions arrived at which are not fully justified by what is known. No attempt has been made to record, in Boswellian style, petty incidents and events in which Mr. Brown bore some ∂ the intention was rather to present such a general view of his character, and the public events in which he figured so prominently, as would be reasonably satisfactory to the public generally, but especially to those with whom he was personally popular.
