Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Arthur Tappan The inquiry has often been made, since the death of Mr. Arthur Tappan, When will a suitable memorial of one so widely known and so highly esteemed, be published? The answer has been: A man´s good name is his best monument. Still the inquiry is reiterated, and an earnest desire expressed, from various sources, that at least some sketch of the life of a man so eminently useful, should be prepared, not only for surviving relatives, and near friends, but for many who knew him only by reputation. We want, say they, to know something of his parentage, his early life, his habits of business, the secret of his success, and the reasons of his reverses as a merchant, his experience as a philanthropist and a Christian. We desire to know something of the inner man, how he appeared in his family, in his place of business, in the walks and conflicts of life. It is natural that such requests should be made, and it is reasonable that those who make them should be gratified. But it is necessary to bear in mind that he was a man of a remarkably quiet spirit, unostentatious, averse to publicity, and desirous of being felt rather than seen. He had but a common school education, was not a writer, or speaker, and kept no journal of his feelings, or actions.
