Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Wendell Phillips Wendell Phillips, son of John and Sarah (Walley) Phillips, was born Nov. 29, 1811. Like so many eminent men in New England, he traced his line of descent to a Puritan clergyman; in this case, the Rev. George Phillips, first minister of Watertown, Mass. From that ancestor was descended, in the fifth generation, John Phillips, first mayor of Boston, elected in 1822, as a sort of compromise candidate between Harrison Gray Otis and Josiah Quincy, who equally divided public favor. John Phillips is credited by tradition with "a pliable disposition," which he clearly did not transmit to his son. He was a graduate of Harvard College in 1788, held various public offices, and was for many years "Town Advocate and Public Prosecutor," a function which certainly became, in a less official sense, hereditary in the family. He was a man of wealth and reputation; and he built for himself a large mansion, which is conspicuous in the early engravings of Boston, and is still standing at the lower corner of Beacon and Walnut Streets. There Wendell Phillips was born. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
