Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Life and Times of James Madison, Vol. 3 It was the design of the author to complete this work - the employment and solace of his declining years - in a fourth volume; but death put an end to his labors, at Castle Hill, Virginia, on the 25th day of April, 1868. The present volume embraces all of his hitherto unpublished history that he had prepared for the press, and brings the narrative down to the close of General Washington's administration. Others may do justice to the epoch of American history which he was not permitted to reach in his portrayal of Madison's career; but it is not too much to say, that no living writer is so well qualified as he was, by intimate intercourse with Madison, and by special study, to treat adequately the constitutional and early political history of the country. In these pages, it is believed his countrymen will see reflected much of the experience, learning, ability, and eloquence which won for the author the highest distinction in the service of his native State, and, in a wider sphere, as Member of Congress, Senator of the United States, and Minister to France during two eventful periods of her revolutionary history. A general Index to the three volumes, prepared with skill and fidelity by Dr. John Appleton, cannot fail to add to the convenience and value of the work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Life and Times of James Madison, Vol. 2 The second volume of the "History of the Life of Madison," prepared for the press more than four years ago, in the state in which it is here given, but prevented from publication by the inauspicious circumstances of the times, is now submitted to the judgment of the reader. It comprehends the most instructive, and, in a civil and political view, the most eventful period of American annals, - from the close of the war of the Revolution, down to and including the formation and establishment of the Constitution of the United States. It was during this period that the embarrassments and disorders incident to the imperfect system of confederation by which the States were held together - kept in check, while the war was in progress, by the spirit of union and strenuous patriotism awakened by the crisis - at length broke out in all their nakedness and force.

It was felt, however, that some account of the character, opinions, and actions of the man who contributed more largely and effectively, though unobtrusively, to the formation of the institutions under which we live than any of his contemporaries, and who was the elective head of the Government at a period of external difficulties and trials which gave the United States definitively a rank among nations, was a desideratum in the history of the country.

As soon as the convention had put the finishing hand to the Constitution, -- the result of their long and anxious labors, -- they passed a resolution for laying it before Congress, then in session in the city of New York, with the expression of their opinion, that "it should be submitted to a convention of delegates, chosen in each State by the people thereof, for their assent and ratification; and that each convention, assenting to and ratifying the same, should give notice thereof to the United States in Congress assembled." No time was lost in transmitting the Constitution, under this resolution, to Congress; and it was accompanied with a letter from the convention, signed by their president, setting forth briefly, but with clearness and dignity, the leading principles by which they had been governed in the execution of their work, the peculiar difficulties they had to encounter, and "the spirit of amity and mutual deference and concession" with which those difficulties had been met and overcome. The letter closed with these impressive remarks: -- "That the Constitution will meet the full and entire approbation of every State is not perhaps to be expected. But each will, doubtless, consider, that, had her interest alone been consulted, the consequences might have been particularly disagreeable or injurious to others. That it is liable to as few exceptions as could reasonably have been expected, we hope and believe: that it may promote the lasting welfare of that country so dear to us all, and secure her freedom and happiness, is our most ardent wish." It was soon apparent that the work of the convention was destined to encounter a vehement opposition in this, the first stage of its probation. Mr. Madison, who was a member of Congress, ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of James Madison The house of burgesses of Virginia held its last session May 6, 1776, when forty-five members, assembling at Williamsburg, declared that the ancient constitution of the colony had been subverted by the King and Parliament of Great Britain. Accordingly, they disbanded, and the last official evidence of the subjection of Virginia to Great Britain disappeared. Another body met on the same day to inaugurate the new era of independence. Public opinion had unwillingly reached the point of desiring separation. It was dominated by the wealthy and educated men, and was in consequence conservative, and clung to the hope of an amicable settlement of differences; but events forced the people into a position of irrevocable rebellion. The final circumstances were: September 1, 1775, Lord Dunmore, the royal governor, seized the printing-press of John Holt because of his seditious articles; October 26, George Nicholas fired the first shot of the Revolution at one of Dunmore's tenders sent to destroy the town of Hampton; November 7, Dunmore issued his infamous proclamation, urging "all indented servants, negroes or others," to secure their freedom by joining in the forcible reduction of the colony; December 8, Leslies attack on Woodford near Norfolk was repulsed; January 1, 1776, Norfolk, the largest city in Virginia, was bombarded and burned.
