Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir of Henry Clay To almost any eye which surveys dispassionately the field of our National History during the last sixty or seventy years, the stately figure of Henry Clay will come at once and prominently into view. No American eye wall ever overlook it. No American pen will ever attempt to dwarf or disparage it. All that Webster was to the North, all that Calhoun was to the South, Clay was to the Great West; perhaps more than all. Neither of these three remarkable men ever commanded the votes of the whole country, or grasped the coveted prize of the Presidency. But together - sometimes in opposition, sometimes in conjunction, and almost always in rivalry - they exercised an influence on public affairs far greater than that of any other three men of their times. They did not leave their peers. Thus far they have had no successors of equal individuality, prominence, and power. Their last signal public efforts were made, side by side, in the Senate of the United States, in support of what were called the Compromises of 1850. Before two years more had elapsed, they were all three in their graves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Public Services of Henry Clay The first edition of this work appeared, during the autumn of 1842, at which time, there was no published memoir of Mr. Clay (so far as the writer's knowledge extended) except that by George D. Prentice, Esq., which terminates with the close of John Quincy Adams's administration. To this eloquent biographical sketch, the Author takes pleas ure in acknowledging his indebtedness, for a number of interesting facts. The new and improved edition of his life OF clay, now offered to the public, has been carefully revised - some errors have been corrected - several omissions have been supplied - aud the Memoir has been brought down to the spring of 1848. It is hardly necessary to say, that the portrait; which accompanies this edition, is from a painting by linen, taken some twenty years since. It was regarded as a like ness at that time. E. S.

During the greater part of my stay in Ken tucky, I have been unable, from indisposition, to endure the labour of writing; and hence, when my health has permitted, I have necessarily written with a degree of haste wholly meonsrstent with the care and attention which, under other Circumstances, I should certainly have be stowed upon my work. The necessity of sending the manuscript to new-england, sheet by sheet, Without even allowmg myself time to preserve copies of it, has undoubtedly led tt some errors of plan and ar rangement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Private Correspondence of Henry Clay The editor must crave pardon of numerous persons who have kindly furnished him with letters of Mr. Clay, which could not be inserted for lack Of room, and for other causes. Notwithstanding the rules which he was obliged to adopt, the volume has swollen to un expected dimensions. Where the editor has used the letters of persons now living, he has been very careful not to insert any to the use of which he would imagine they would have any objection. On the contrary, he has used only such as he supposed they would be very willing, if not gratified, to see in such a place. If there should be any exceptions to this rule, the imperative demands for the truth of history in matters on which the parties concerned could not fairly claim to be consulted, must be the apology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monument to the Memory of Henry Clay The object of the present work is two-fold. First, to present in a condensed form a complete Life, and the most important Speeches of Henry Clay; and secondly, to collect, in a form adapted to their preservation, the Eulogies called forth by the death of the great statesman, together with an account of the Obsequies attending his burial. In respect to the first object, it may be said, that the field has already been occupied. In reply, we say that, although the works which have appeared from time to time, and especially the large volumes of Colton, have given us nearly all the information which we can hope to obtain, whether in regard to the public or private life of Henry Clay, yet that they all, and especially those which we have designated, labor under the disadvantage of being too large and too costly for popular circulation.

Download or read book The Life and Times of Henry Clay Vol 2 of 2 Classic Reprint written by Calvin Colton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Times of Henry Clay, Vol. 2 of 2 In the introduction of this work, the author announced as one of his rules in its composition, that he had confined himself to the life and career of Mr. Clay, and that he does not profess to give history any further than Mr. Clay has been connected with it. He also suggested, that ho has not been able to use all the materials found within these limits. It will be obvious, therefore, that wide as has been his range, and comprehensive as has been the view of public affairs which he has been obliged to take, the history contained in these volumes is rather personal than general. It can not but be observed, that Mr. Clay's public life has been one of conflict, and that the principles and measures he has advocated, have been stormed by opposition, often amounting to animated hostility, and sometimes to bitter personal animosity. It can not, therefore, be surprising, but should be expected, that the author, sympathizing with Mr. Clay's principles, and with himself when assailed on account of his principles, should earnestly, when he could conscientiously, defend both the one and the other. How else could he do justice to his subject? This duty of the author has necessarily led him to use some freedom of remark toward public men. The times of Mr. Clay have been characterized with strife for great and vital principles of a young republic. In whatever he has been right, we could not be vindicated, without a showing of the wrong, and it has so happened, that the wrong done to the country, as well as to Mr. Clay, has, in some instances, according to the convictions of the author, been very great and flagrant.
