Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ideals of American Life Told in Biographies of Eminent Living Americans, Vol. 2 It is to the literature of the American people, therefore, and not to their manifold and consuming activities, that we turn when we try to discover what they care for most; those ultimate aims which we call ideals. There is more of New England in Hawthorne's books than in the formal histories more of the secret hopes of America in Emerson's essays than in all political documents and orations; more of the spirit and quality of the old social order in the South in the stories of Mr. Page, Mr. Allen, Mr. Harris than in contemporary records. It is genius alone which divines what is in the heart of a people, and genius alone has the skill to lay that heart bare to the world. The older America has left its record in the pages of Emerson, Irving, Hawthorne, Bryant, Lowell, Poe, Whittier, Holmes, Thoreau; the America of the period which followed the Civil war wrote much of its inner history in the prose and verse of Whitman, Lanier, Taylor, Sill, Warner, Higginson, Hale; the spirit and life of the America of today is reflected in the work of Aldrich, Stedman, Howells, Cable, Page, Allen, Miss Jewett, Miss Wilkins, Mrs. Deland and their contemporaries. In our earlier books there was a certain unity which revealed a common stock of ideas, sentiments, literary tradition. Poe stands by himself, but neither in mood nor in feeling for his art is he wholly separated from Hawthorne, with whom he shares the highest honors of distinctly artistic achievement. In a general way Irving, Haw thorne and Poe express American life at the period when that life first came to consciousness in literature. The introspection of New England and the subtlety of self - analysis which was bred in the Puritan; the cosmopolitan urbanity, humor and regard for diversities of taste and charm of New York; the refinement of feeling for women.

That the memory of such persons, besides being treasured in the hearts of relatives and friends, should have its public record also, is peculiarly proper; because a knowledge of men whose substantial fame rests upon their attainments, character, and success, must exert a wholesome influence on the rising generation Of the American people; while to those who have arrived at a period in life not to be benefited by lessons designed for less advanced age, it cannot fail to prove interesting.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eminent Americans, Vol. 2 of 2: Comprising Brief Biographies of Leading Statesmen, Patriots, and Other Men and Women, Who Have Made American History T is honorable to be wealthy, when wealth is honorably acquired, and when it is used for laudable or noble purposes. One of the most eminent possess ore of great riches, among the comparatively few in this country, was Stephen Girard of Philadelphia, where the memory of his opulence is perpetuated by a college bearing his name. He was a native of France, and was born near Bor deaux, on the 24th of May, 17 50. He was the child of a peasant, and the only school in which he was educated was the great world of active life. When about eleven years of age he left his native country, and sailed as a cabin-boy for the West Indies. He afterward went to New York, and spent several years in voyages between that port and the West Indies and New Orleans, as cabin boy, seaman, mate, and finally as master. Having saved some money, he opened a small shop in Philadelphia, in 1769, and the next year he married the beautiful daughter of a caulker. His own asperity of temper made their connubial life un happy. She became insane, in 1790, and died in the Philadelphia hospital, in 1815, leaving no children.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Herringshaw's National Library of American Biography, Vol. 2 of 5: Contains Thirty-Five Thousand Biographies of the Acknowledged Leaders of Life and Thought of the United States; Claus-Gwynn Vice-presidents of the United States; every member of all the cabinets; every United States Senator and Speaker of the House; every United States Congressman; every mem ber of the Supreme Court; ever signer of the Declaration Of Independence; the Governors of the States and Terri tories; all the Authors, Poets and Composers; all the eminent Clergymen, Judges, Lawyers; all the Admirals and distinguished naval officers; all the Generals and distinguished army officers; while no name eminent in Literature, Art, Music, Science or Invention has been omitted. As the failure to consider the lives of men of affairs as of historical importance is a defective feature of all biographical works heretofore published, a special feature of this work has been to include the lives of the great pio meers, merchants, manufacturers, railroad builders, and other practical men who have developed the mines, forests and farms, built the railroads, steamboat lines and canals, set afloat and managed the shipping, organized the cor porations, and introduced the new processes in science and mechanics, which have so greatly reduced the cost and promoted the comfort of living, while contributing to the power and prestige of the nation itself. They have founded the great museums, erected statues, libraries and reading rooms; and it is by them that the colleges, schools and philanthropic institutions are built and maintained° and it surely is befitting that their records should be pre served for all time in this national work of representative Americans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portraits of Eminent Americans Now Living; Including President Pierce and His Cabinet: With Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Their Lives and Actions The following sketches exhibit, as all biography will, that those who are most successful in obtaining honors, public respect and wealth, have not pursued these as the ends of their labors, but have obtained them as incidents to active virtues. When we make reputation, honor, or riches, the motives instead of the rewards of our conduct, we reverse the order which Providence has established, and fail Of obtaining what we are per versely seeking. When Solomon was asked what he most desired, he said, Give thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people. And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life, nor riches, nor the life of thine enemies, lo I I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee what thou hast not asked, both riches and honor. He asked to perform well his duties, and the performance brought with it riches and honor as incidents of duty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prominent and Progressive Americans, Vol. 2: An Encyclopaedia of Contemporaneous Biography For many years one of the foremost preachers, teachers, and writers of the Presbyterian Church in the United States was the Rev. Dr. James Waddel Alexander, who was pastor of leading churches in New York city and elsewhere, a professor in Princeton College, editor of the "Presbyterian," and author of more than thirty religious books. He was a son of the Rev. Dr. Archibald Alexander of Princeton College, and, on his mother's side, a grandson of the "blind preacher," James Waddel, who was made famous by William Wirt. Dr. Alexander married Miss Elizabeth C. Cabell, a member of the historic Virginia family of that name, of English origin. His own family was of Scotch-Irish origin, and was first settled in this country in Virginia. James Waddel Alexander, the second of the name, was born to the fore-mentioned couple at Princeton, New Jersey, on July 19, 1839, his father being at that time professor of rhetoric and belles-lettres at the college there. He was educated at home and in various preparatory schools, and finally at Princeton College, being in the third generation of his family identified with that institution. On the completion of his academic course he adopted the law as his profession, and, after due study, was admitted to the New York bar and entered upon practice in this city. He was a partner in the firm of Cummins, Alexander & Green. In the year 1866 Mr. Alexander became actively identified with the vast business of life-insurance.
