Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of William H. Seward, Vol. 1 of 2 Voltaire has said that he who serves his country well has no need of ancestors. However, there can be no serious objection to them if they be sober-minded and do not embarrass their offspring. So far as is known, there was nothing in the lives of William H. Seward's ancestors that calls for either boasting or concealment. They came of good, plain stock, and stood well in the communities in which they lived. Grandfather John Seward was supposed to be of Welsh descent. He lived in Morris county, New Jersey, was a colonel in the Revolutionary army, and died in 1799. His wife was described by her famous grandson, more than half a century later, as a highly intellectual woman, pious as well as patriotic, although many of her relatives had adhered to the British cause. About all that is known of the maternal grandfather, Isaac Jennings, is that "he was of English derivation, a well-to-do farmer, who turned out with the militia of Goshen," New York. His wife, Margaret Jackson, was of Irish origin, but was remembered chiefly on account of her hatred of Catholicism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of William H. Seward, Vol. 2 of 2 The election of Lincoln caused almost as great an outburst of joy in Charleston and New Orleans as it did in Boston and New York. The Republicans had gained the power to prevent the extension of slavery, but they were not more confident of realizing their long-cherished aim than the leaders of the cotton states were of founding a new confederacy in the near future. Party interests had made it necessary for the Republicans to belittle the threats of secession, and they had succeeded so well that they fully deceived even themselves. Seward's past and present opinions illustrated this fact. When the jubilant citizens of Auburn crowded about him to hear his comments on the election he bade them dismiss all thoughts of the future until some new election should call them to renew their efforts in payment of the price of enduring liberty. The duty of the hour was to show magnanimity and moderation in triumph. Then came the idea, borrowed from Jefferson: "The parties engaged in an election are not, never can be, never must be, enemies, or even adversaries.

Seward, Vol. 4 of 5 The three preceding volumes, beginning with the earliest events of his life, closed with the enactment of the compromises of 1850. The present volume includes the succeeding and eventful period made memorable by the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, the struggle of slavery for Kansas, the assault upon a senator in the senate chamber by a slaveholding representative of South Carolina, the organization of the Republican party, its almost successful con test in 1856, and its triumph in the presidential election of 1860, and by the admission of Kansas into the Union a Free State - a period that may be said to comprise the harvest season of those principles which in previous years Mr. Seward had sown in the public mind, and watched and cultivated with so much consistency and integrity of purpose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from William H. Seward The great mass of Seward manuscripts still avail able, I have thought it not necessary or even desir able again to go over they have already been very carefully and thoroughly studied. I have used to good advantage the Van Buren manuscripts in the Congressional Library, though I have not been able by any means to give this material the attention it deserves. I have also had access to some smaller but still very valuable collections of Seward manu scripts, especially those of his letters to Thurlow Weed and to Mrs. George Schuyler, to whom he wrote very freely on political matters. I would make most thankful acknowledgment to Mr. F. W'. Richardson, president of the Cayuga Historical Society, and through him, to the Society for access to their collection of newspapers and manuscripts relating to Seward's early life; to Mr. Edward W. Paige, Of Schenectady, for files of the Schenectady Cabinet to the librarian of Union Col lege for his kind assistance in using the considerable collection of early newspapers to be found there; to Miss Georgina Schuyler for the very valuable letters of Seward to her mother to Mrs. George C. Hollister for access to the newspapers and letters originally belonging to Thurlow Weed and to Mrs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
