Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of John Van Lear McMahon In presenting this little volume to the public, I can only repeat substantially what I stated in my circular to the subscribers to the book, and to whose response thereto I am largely indebted for this result. Six years have elapsed since the death of my father, Judge Mason, the author of this biography, and the delay in producing the result of his labors, undertaken and leisurely prosecuted several years before his death, may possibly have subjected me to the imputation of indifference or neglect in carrying out his plan. But I feel sure that my friends and the public who are interested, and whose generous criticism and kind forbearance I ask for my part in the fulfilment of this duty, will be equally lenient in viewing the reasons for its delay. Many obstacles of a business and financial nature, the hesitancy of publishers to undertake a work of a purely local character, and the great difficulty in supplying a few but very important links in the history of Mr. McMahon´s time, made this long delay necessary and indeed almost compelled me reluctantly to abandon it. I must here thank those friends who have aided me by their advice, suggestions, letters, and reminiscences, and thus were largely instrumental in enabling me to proceed.
