Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sons of the Puritans: A Group of Brief Biographies The eleven men whose careers are described in this book were all efficient servants of the public welfare. They were successful men of affairs, but each of them owed his efficiency to a certain moral idealism which is a part of the Puritan inheritance. In their various callings and professions these men were dominated by ideals of private honor and public serviceableness which made their careers different from those of men who seek selfish ends. Their conception of life and its uses was derived from impulses and traditionary, feelings in the blood, which are the distinctive, though not the exclusive, characteristics of men of the Puritan descent. These men illustrate many different forms of usefulness. One was a United States senator, two were governors of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a fourth was an able municipal administrator.
