Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Public Services of John Sherman Cheered by the presence of his wife and child, Charles Robert Sherman rapidly rose to eminence as an eloquent advocate, as a judicious, reliable counselor. His professional character was spotless, and while he would refuse clients, when his conscience would not permit him to screen their wrong-doings, he was always ready to plead the cause of the innocent and oppressed without reward. White devoted to his professional, he extended his reading beyond his law books, and was generally versed in the literature of the day. He was a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity, and filled the highest offices in the grand bodies of that order in Ohio. During the pioneer years of Ohio, tradition records that its always were obliged to travel over extensive circuits in practicing their profession. They were accustomed to accompanying the courts from country to country, and in this way to traverse a large extent of country. Those early days also commemorated the warmest personal friendship in the profession, as its members were forced into the most intimate companionship. They rode together on horseback, their saddle-bags stuffed with briefs, documents, law books, clothing, and generally some creature delectation also. They were exposed in common to the same inclemencies and impediments of travel; they 'lodged together at the same taverns, eat at the same tables and slept in the rooms, generally two in the same bed. Manly, jovial, and free-hearted, after a hard fought day of professional antagonisms in court, they would crowd the evening hours with social amenities winged with wit merriment, with pathos, sentiment and song. In 1823, Mr. Charles R. Sherman was elected by the Legislature of Ohio to the Bench of the Supreme Court; and perhaps the only man in the State who doubted his ability for this high position was himself. If expressed fears that he lacked the ripe experience of years necessary to hear and determine cases of magnitude in a court of last resort; but he fully realized the large expectations of his professionals friends and the public. His written opinions, published in Hammond's Reports of the supreme Court of Ohio, demonstrated a mind of the choicest legal capabilities. They are clear, compact, comprehensive and conclusive, and have since been respected by the bar and the courts in Ohio and other States as judicial opinions of the highest authority. Judge Sherman won upon the Bench, as he had at the Bar, the affection and confidence of his professional associates. They esteemed him for his gentle and genial ways, for the brilliant flashes of his mind, and the solid strength of his judgement; and, above all, for the stainless integrity of his character as a judge and as a man. The Supreme Court was then, under the provisions of the constitution, required to hold an annual term in each country of the State, two of the judges officiating. In every court room in Ohio where Judge Sherman presided he made friends. His official robes were worn by him as the customary habiliments, and he was never haughty, austere, or overbearing on the bench. He had thus entered upon the sixth year of his official term, in the full fruition of his matured, intellectual powers, and in the enjoyment of apparently robust physical health, when, as he was about to hold a session of the Supreme Court at Lebanon, he was suddenly, and without any premonition, stricken down with a fatal malady. The best medical aid was promptly summoned from Cincinnati, but in vain. A messenger hastened to Lancaster for Mrs. Sherman, but before she could reach Lebanon her husband had breathed his last. He died on the 24th of June, in the forty-first year of his age. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com

This book was released on 2011-01-28 with total page 703 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the static, ahistorical models on which Economics continues to rely. These models presume that markets operate on a "frictionless" plane where abstract forces play out independent of their institutional and spatial contexts, and of the influences of the past. In reality, at any point in time exogenous factors are themselves outcomes of complex historical processes. They are shaped by institutional and spatial contexts, which are "carriers of history," including past economic dynamics and market outcomes. To examine the connections between gradual, evolutionary change and more dramatic, revolutionary shifts the text takes on a wide array of historically salient economic questions—ranging from how formative, European encounters reconfigured the political economies of indigenous populations in Africa, the Americas, and Australia to how the rise and fall of the New Deal order reconfigured labor market institutions and outcomes in the twentieth century United States. These explorations are joined by a common focus on formative institutions, spatial structures, and market processes. Through historically informed economic analyses, contributors recognize the myriad interdependencies among these three frames, as well as their distinct logics and temporal rhythms.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Sherman: What the Has Said and Done, Being a History of the Life and Public Serivces of the Hon. John Sherman Lest, however, some may take up this little volume that have not the leisure nor the taste to wade through the ponderous deeds and solid speeches here so briefly stated, nor the time and thought needed to appreciate the efforts by which so mighty a work has been achieved, the writer will present a brief digest of the facts and the reasons for presenting them. The writing and publishing of a sketch of Mr. Sher man's life at this time will necessarily be regarded as an attempt to pave his way to the Presidency. The publi cation of it mav mean that; but in the whole sketch as it now appears, that thought was very little in the writer's mind. It is his conviction that resumption has made Mr. Sherman a greater man than the Presidency ever can. As the capture of Vicksburg, the surrender of Lee, and squelching the rebellion has made General Grant greater than President Grant, so resumption and the victory over the frauds in the New York Custom House have proved Mr. Sherman a greater man than the Presidency ever can.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first full-scale biography of John Hay since 1934: From secretary to Abraham Lincoln to secretary of state for Theodore Roosevelt, Hay was an essential American figure for more than half a century. John Taliaferro’s brilliant biography captures the extraordinary life of Hay, one of the most amazing figures in American history, and restores him to his rightful place. Private secretary to Lincoln and secretary of state to Theodore Roosevelt, Hay was both witness and author of many of the most significant chapters in American history—from the birth of the Republican Party, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, to the prelude to World War I. As an ambassador and statesman, he guided many of the country’s major diplomatic initiatives at the turn of the twentieth century: the Open Door with China, the creation of the Panama Canal, and the establishment of America as a world leader. Hay’s friends are a who’s who of the era: Mark Twain, Horace Greeley, Henry Adams, Henry James, and virtually every president, sovereign, author, artist, power broker, and robber baron of the Gilded Age. His peers esteemed him as “a perfectly cut stone” and “the greatest prime minister this republic has ever known.” But for all his poise and polish, he had his secrets. His marriage to one of the wealthiest women in the country did not prevent him from pursuing the Madame X of Washington society, whose other secret suitor was Hay’s best friend, Henry Adams. All the Great Prizes, the first authoritative biography of Hay in eighty years, renders a rich and fascinating portrait of this brilliant American and his many worlds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brief Sketch of the Life and Public Services of John Sherman: With Some Considerations in Favour of His Nomination in 1888 as the Republican Candidate for the Presidency While engaged in this service he became personally interested in tracts of land located in Sherman Township, Huron County; but he returned to Connecticut, where he died in 1815. He married early in life Elizabeth Stoddard, a lineal descendant of Anthony Stoddard, who emigrated from England to Boston in 1639. She was a sincere and honest woman, devoted to her husband and her children, and lived to a good old age, dying in Ohio about 1848. Charles Robert Sherman, their son (the father of John Sherman), was born and brought up at Norwalk, Connecticut, where he in due time commenced the study of the law in the office of his father, who was then associated with Judge Chapman. He was admitted to the Bar in 1810, and on the 10th of May of that year he married Mary Hoyt, also of Norwalk, who had grown up with him from childhood. She was a steadfast, true-hearted woman, devoted to her family and beloved by her friends. A few months after his marriage he went to Ohio in search of a home, leaving his wife in Connecticut. He arrived at Lancaster on his way to Cincinnati, and was so much pleased with the place and the people that he concluded to remain there. Receiving a cordial welcome, he was soon engrossed in the practice of his profession. The following season his wife came to him across the Alleghanies on horseback, carrying her infant child (afterward Judge Charles T. Sherman) on a pillow strapped before her saddle. It was a long and dreary road, beset with hardships, but Mrs. Sherman was fortunate in having as companions a considerable party of emigrants from her native region who sought on the western slope of the Alleghanies a new home. Cheered by the presence of his wife and child, Charles Robert Sherman rapidly rose to eminence as an eloquent advocate, and as a judicious reliable counselor. His professional character was spotless, and while he would refuse clients when his conscience would not permit him to screen their wrong-doings, he was always ready to plead the cause of the innocent and oppressed without reward. While devoted to his profession, he extended his reading beyond his law-books, and was generally versed in the literature of the day. He was a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity, and tilled the highest offices in the grand bodies of that order in Ohio. During the pioneer years of Ohio, tradition records that its lawyers were obliged to travel over extensive circuits in practicing their profession. They were accustomed to accompanying the courts from county to county, and in this way to traverse a large extent of country.
