Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives and Portraits of the Presidents of the United States, From Washington to Grant How much, for instance, at the start was done for us as a people by the choice of washington as our great leader, First in War, First in Peace, and First in the hearts of his countrymen. The nation, after more than half a century since his death, may be said, in a measure, to be living on his Virtues. He, more than any other.hero, without fear or reproach, by the purity of his life and the devotion of his whole nature to public affairs, raised the land at once to a respectable position, as he was accustomed modestly to say, among the nations of the world. His example has reacted upon the people whom he was called to represent, and doubtless on innumerable occasions has brightened the flame of patriotism and public virtue. Every statesman, and especially every President, must feel himself called upon to follow and privileged in following in his footsteps. Nor does the example Of washington stand alone in our review of the Presi dents. The adamses occupy a lofty position in our national history, in their pri vate virtues, their devoted patriotism, and independence of character. In jeffer son the nation had not only a ruler of consummate ability, but a student and philosopher, and a controlling mind among the great men of his century. The great name of madison is identified with the foundation of our liberties in the origin and adoption of the Constitution. The strength and manliness of jackson, equally illustrated in military and political life, have left their example to invigor ate the national policy of our own times. The fame 'of lincoln, consecrated by martyrdom, will be transmitted to posterity with an enduring lesson of public virtues, patriotic devotion, heartfelt love of liberty and magnanimity in the exer cise of power. The fate of garfield, cut ofi by the hand of an assassin at the very Opening of his career, will always excite sympathy as wide and deep as when the news of his murder startled the whole world. Others on the brief list have their high and enduring claims to respect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book America s Presidents written by National Portrait Gallery and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A striking collection of presidential portraits from the National Portrait Gallery, this volume encapsulates the spirit of the most powerful office in the world. America's Presidents showcases the nation's largest collection of portraits of all the presidents beyond the White House's own, capturing the permanent exhibition that lies at the heart of the Portrait Gallery's mission to tell the American story through the individuals who have shaped it. The book explores presidential imagery through portraits ranging from the traditional, such as the iconic and newly restored "Lansdowne" portrait of George Washington by Gilbert Stuart, to the contemporary, such as Elaine de Kooning's colorful depiction of John F. Kennedy. Many of the featured portraits reveal much about the sitter, such as the intimate rendering of an informal George W. Bush by Robert Anderson and the fanciful, mosaic-like Chuck Close image of Bill Clinton. Some tell us more about the artist, such as the likeness of Franklin Delano Roosevelt that Douglas Chandor planned to include in a larger work about peace that would commemorate Roosevelt's Yalta meeting with wartime Allied leaders Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin. Works in other media, including sculptures and daguerreotypes, round out the presidential collection. Lively narratives accompany each piece, exploring the president's background and biography as well as the work's artistic and historical significance. Taken together, the portraits are a powerful visual exploration of the history of the highest office in the land and the diverse men who have held it.
