This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial Address on the Life and Character of the Hon. Jacob Collamer: Read Before the Vermont Historical Society, October 29th, 1868 Williams' Abridgment, being a digested summary of the cases reported during the golden age of English J udicial law, in the reign of George III. Down to 1798, constituting his entire body of reports. What these books contained he knew, not as mere matter of recollection - their substance became incorporated as matter of consciousness into the very substance of his mind, which thus became thoroughly indoc trinated and imbued with the foundation principles upon which the superstructure of his professional greatness arose. He was a living and instructive illustration of the difference between reading law and studying the law. His library grew apace as means increased and felt needs re quired, but was never large - hardly up to what very ordinary beginners and very moderate proficients in the profession would, in present times, deem necessary, at any rate for ap pearance' sake, if not for use. It is nearly all before me now, as I am writing in my own private oflice, and constitutes only about one-fourth of the library by which I am sur rounded, and which in all is not large.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses on the Death of Hon. Jacob Collamer: Delivered in the Senate and House of Representatives, on Thursday, December 14, 1865 It is eminently fit and becoming, Mr. President, as it is also in accordance with an approved and sacred custom, that we pause for an hour in the ordinary routine of our daily labors, that we may consecrate that hour to the virtues and the memory of a deceased and lamented associate, who has shared so long and so largely in our regards and in the public confidence, for his mature wisdom and for his great moral excellence. "Your colleague, Judge Collamer, is dead!" was the startling telegraphic message I received at my home about five weeks ago. He expired at his residence in Woodstock, Vermont, on the evening of the 9th of November past, after a brief illness of little more than a single week - at his own home, in the midst of his own affectionate and devoted household; in the full exercise of his intellectual faculties; with an abiding and unshaken faith in the Christian religion; and in the cherished hope of a blissful immortality. But three weeks before his decease he visited Montpelier, the capital of the State, some fifty miles distant from his residence, to attend the funeral services of a younger and favorite brother. Having paid the last sad offices of respect and affection to a brother's memory, he returned to his own home; but, alas! only to lay himself down so soon to die.

Download or read book Speech of Hon Jacob Collamer of Vermont on Affairs in Kansas written by Jacob Collamer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Hon. Jacob Collamer, of Vermont, on Affairs in Kansas: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, April 3 and 4, 1856 I have made this last remark for a reason which I will state. If a man were to take our Consti tution, and should close the volume ofour history, and should obliterate our legislation, and read that book without these lights, I think he would come to the conclusion that there never was such a thing as slavery in the country. There is nothing in the instrument that would lead him to dream of its existence. I know that it is some what difficult to ascertain how much we should learn from the reading of any particular paper or book, without the lights of experience around us. It is as difficult, perhaps, as for a man now to determine how much he would know in relation' to the moral attributes of the Deity if he had not the light of revelation around him. The truth is he has that light around him, and it is difficult for him to judge how much he would be able to discover if he had it not. We have the lights of our ex erience; we have the lessons of our politica history; and it is difficult for us to read the Constitution without those lights. Still I think it would be practicable to a considerable extent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Fighting for the Speakership written by Jeffery A. Jenkins and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Speaker of the House of Representatives is the most powerful partisan figure in the contemporary U.S. Congress. How this came to be, and how the majority party in the House has made control of the speakership a routine matter, is far from straightforward. Fighting for the Speakership provides a comprehensive history of how Speakers have been elected in the U.S. House since 1789, arguing that the organizational politics of these elections were critical to the construction of mass political parties in America and laid the groundwork for the role they play in setting the agenda of Congress today. Jeffery Jenkins and Charles Stewart show how the speakership began as a relatively weak office, and how votes for Speaker prior to the Civil War often favored regional interests over party loyalty. While struggle, contention, and deadlock over House organization were common in the antebellum era, such instability vanished with the outbreak of war, as the majority party became an "organizational cartel" capable of controlling with certainty the selection of the Speaker and other key House officers. This organizational cartel has survived Gilded Age partisan strife, Progressive Era challenge, and conservative coalition politics to guide speakership elections through the present day. Fighting for the Speakership reveals how struggles over House organization prior to the Civil War were among the most consequential turning points in American political history.

Download or read book The American Republic written by Bruce Frohnen and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many reference works offer compilations of critical documents covering individual liberty, local autonomy, constitutional order, and other issues that helped to shape the American political tradition. Yet few of those works are available in a form suitable for classroom use, and traditional textbooks give short shrift to these important issues. The American Republic overcomes that knowledge gap by providing, in a single volume, critical, original documents revealing the character of American discourse on the nature and importance of local government, the purposes of federal union, and the role of religion and tradition in forming America’s drive for liberty. The American Republic is divided into nine sections, each illustrating major philosophical, cultural, and policy positions at issue during crucial eras of American development. Readers will find documentary evidence of the purposes behind European settlement, American response to English acts, the pervasive role of religion in early American public life, and perspectives in the debate over independence. Subsequent chapters examine the roots of American constitutionalism, Federalist and Anti-Federalist arguments concerning the need to protect common law rights, and the debates over whether the states or the federal government held final authority in determining the course of public policy in America. Also included are the discussions regarding disagreements over internal improvements and other federal measures aimed at binding the nation, particularly in the area of commerce. The final section focuses on the political, cultural, and legal issues leading to the Civil War. Arguments and attempted compromises regarding slavery, along with laws that helped shape slavery, are highlighted. The volume ends with the prelude to the Civil War, a natural stopping-off point for studies of early American history. By bringing together key original documents and other writings that explain cultural, religious, and historical concerns, this volume gives students, teachers, and general readers an effective way to begin examining the diversity of issues and influences that characterize American history. The result unquestionably leads to a deeper and more thorough understanding of America's political, institutional, and cultural continuity and change. Bruce P. Frohnen is Associate Professor of Law at Ohio Northern University College of Law. He holds a J.D. from the Emory University School of Law and a Ph.D. in Government from Cornell University.
