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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of General Washington, First President of the United States, Vol. 2 of 2: Written by Himself, Comprising His Memoirs and Correspondence, as Prepared by Him for Publication, Including Several Original Letters Now First Printed The Revolutionary War was now fast approaching its crisis. The union between the French and American armies was complete, and both parties felt that the opening season could not fail to bring with it decisive events and results. And so it proved. What were the plans of operation of the British Commanders, it is difficult to determine, with positiveness. It seems to have been their chief aim, to divide the forces, and distract the attention, of the American Commander-in-chief, by simultaneous, vigorous invasions and movements, in different and distant parts of the country. It was the purpose of Washington, to call forth the energies of the Colonies to the utmost possible extent, to meet and withstand the enemy, wherever he might show himself; but, while he sought to do this, at the same time he resolved to strike some signal blow, by concentrating as large a force as could be spared from other assailed or assailable points, and, by utterly overwhelming one of the larger divisions of the British army, bring the war to a close. The following extracts from a letter, addressed by Washington to General Knox, show the views of the Commanders of the American and French allied armies, in entering upon the campaign of 1781.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of General Washington, First President of the United States, Vol. 1 of 2 The Author of the present work begs to state that through many Lives of Washington have been already written, none have been done on the plant of the present, namely, that of making the subject of the Memoir, as far as possible, his own Biographer. Fortunately, for this purpose, the materials are in sufficient abundance. It is well know that it was General Washington's custom, from a very early period, to record, in the form of Journals, Diaries, and Letters to public bodies or private correspondents of which he kept copies, all the most important incidents and circumstances of his life, from day to day. Out of these memorials, it was thought that such extracts and passages might be selected and brought together, as to give to the work, to a considerable extent, the interest, the authority, and even the form, of an Autobiography. There is reason to believe, too, that it was the expectation and wish of Washington that his Life should be thus written, for in several letters he expresses his conviction that his memoirs could not be written a satisfactory or effectual manner without a large selection from his papers. On this plan, therefore, as far as practicable, the present life has been written. The extracts from the writings of Washington, which constitute so considerable a portion of this Biography, have been drawn from various sources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of George Washington, Vol. 1 of 2: Commander in Chief of the American Forces, During the War Which Established the Independence of His Country, and First President of the United States The author persuades himself that no apology will be required for offering to his fellow-citizens a revised edition of the Life of General Washington. The period during which he lived, and acted a conspicuous part in American affairs, was the most interesting of American history. The war of our revolution, the very instructive interval between its termination and the adoption of our present constitution, the organization of the new government, and the principles which were developed in its first operation, form great epochs, claiming the attention not only of every statesman, but of every American unwilling to remain ignorant of the history of his country, and the character of his countrymen. The transactions of this period constitute the subject of the following pages. In compiling them, the Author has relied chiefly on the manuscript papers of General Washington. These have supplied the requisite information respecting all facts immediately connected with himself. But as many occurrences are unavoidably introduced in which he acted no direct part, it has been drawn occasionally from other sources. The history of General Washington, from the time of his appointment to the command of the American armies, is the history of his country. Yet the peculiar character of biography seemed to require that his private opinions, and his various plans, whether carried into execution or neglected, should be given more in detail than might be deemed proper in a general history. Copious extracts have, therefore, been made from his correspondence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
