Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Little Statesman One of these vital questions, and the one which presents itself just now for immediate solution, is that of Money. The attitude of the two leading parties on this subject furnishes a most glaring instance of political dishonesty. In spite of the efforts of the politicians, however, the money question will not down, and that phase of it which appeals most strongly at this time to the people is the proposition to again open the mints to the free coinage of silver. Money is the public credit, stamped or imprinted upon, or represented by, metal, paper, or any other convenient substance recognized by law or usage, and employed as a medium of ex change and a measure of values. Money is money only so long and in so far as it represents the public credit. Moses, as well as the early fathers of the Christian Church, undoubtedly adopted this view of money when they denounced usury, which is the de vice whereby the drones in humanity's bee-hive, monopolizing the public credit, have in all ages exacted tribute from the workers.

Download or read book Mr Churchill s Profession written by Peter Clarke and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1953, Winston Churchill received the Nobel Prize for Literature. In fact, Churchill was a professional writer before he was a politician, and published a stream of books and articles over the course of two intertwined careers. Now historian Peter Clarke traces the writing of the magisterial work that occupied Churchill for a quarter century, his four-volume History of the English-Speaking Peoples.As an author, Churchill faced woes familiar to many others; chronically short of funds, late on deadlines, scrambling to sell new projects or cajoling his publishers for more advance money. He signed a contract for the English-Speaking project in 1932, a time when his political career seemed over. The magnum opus was to be delivered in 1939, but in that year, history overtook history-writing. When the Nazis swept across Europe, Churchill was summoned from political exile to become Prime Minister. The English-Speaking Peoples would have to wait.The book would indeed be written and become a bestseller, after Churchill left public life. But even before he took office, the massive project was shaping his worldview, his speeches and his leadership. In these pages, Peter Clarke follows Churchill's monumental quest to chronicle the English-Speaking Peoples - a quest that helped to define the enduring 'special relationship' between Britain and America. In the process, Clarke gives us not just an untold chapter in literary history, but a fresh perspective on this iconic figure: a life of Churchill the author.

This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Statesman, or Principles of Legislation and Law But this inquiry is, perhaps, for us, more speculative than profitable. The jurisdictional and territorial rights or claims of the native Indians were scarcely distinguishable from each other. Both were in the tribe or community, and individual possessions in lands were scarcely known. As the life of the Indian is ambulatory, his occupation of the land was transient and for temporary purposes, and common to others with him self. The treaties Of cession by the chiefs or head men, with the consent of the tribe, and the charters of the European dis coverers, ceding the territory and jurisdiction to the colony and prescribing the rules of individual right - have so perfected the titles in Maine, that we have very little reason to discuss their origin. By a recurrence to the origin of our political institutions, we are struck with the singular fact that nearly all the charters which form the basis of our liberties emanated from the three first sovereigns of the House of Stuart - a family not much distinguished for their respect for popular rights.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Daniel Webster: The Statesman and the Patriot, Containing Numerous Anecdotes This Life of Daniel Webster is written for the young; and for that reason, as is elsewhere said, the events of his boyhood and college-days are dwelt upon with more minuteness than those of his after life. For a man occupying the high place which he held in the eye of the nation, his private charac ter was little known. He had not the winning address which draws the great multitude. People did not call him by the familiar terms with which popular idols are designated. He was not covet ous of parade and personal attentions. He never courted the fashion, or appealed to the prejudice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book George Washington Campbell of Tennessee written by Weymouth Tyree Jordan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from George Washington Campbell of Tennessee: Western Statesman So much emphasis has been placed upon the work of a few outstanding leaders in public affairs of the United States dur ing the first quarter of the nineteenth century, that historians have sometimes overlooked important services that were ren dered by numerous individuals who seldom occupied the center of the political stage. Among such men, the public career of George Washington Campbell of Tennessee may be consid ered as a fairly typical example. For the most part, biograph ers of early leaders of the Old Southwest, and of Tennessee after it became a part of the New West, have limited their studies to such colorful figures as John Sevier and Andrew Jackson and the like, seemingly overlooking the fact that less spectacular persons also warrant close attention. Campbell, although much more active and important from a national standpoint than most of his contemporary officeholders from Tennessee and the West (1803 has received little notice. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to put together for the first time a connected account of Campbell's activities and contributions, and to rescue him from almost complete oblivion. Relatively few materials concerning his private life and actions have been located; and for this reason the account does not contain much information of a personal nature. The study has necessarily developed into one that is concerned pri marily with the subject's public activities and interests. The book is related to Campbell more than to his times, although an effort has been made to place Campbell in his proper setting. Although a host of scholars have worked long and diligently in the field of American history in the early national period, few people seem to have heard of George Washington Camp bell. Thus, to write this biography has been both a challenge and a privilege. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Statesman's Manual, Vol. 4 of 4: Containing the Addresses and Messages of the Presidents of the United States, Inaugural, Annual, and Special, From 1789 to 1858 I have had the honor to receive your communication, aecom panying the first volume of the new edition of the Laws of the United States, published by Messrs. Little 6l Brown, of Boston. The Publishers have now delivered five volumes, containing all the general Laws and it has given me great pleasure to have it in my power to certify the highly satisfactory character of this portion of the work. It is, in the highest degree, creditable to the Publishers. Although, by the terms of the Joint Resolution of Congress, my duty was limited to making a contract for one thousand copies, and to certifying that its conditions were complied with, I have been consulted, unreservedly, by the Publishers, in every stage of their work, and have found them at all times ready to adopt any suggestion to secure accu racy in the publication, regardless of personal trouble or of expense. So far as the original Rolls exist, they have been examined and carefully compared by competent persons with the sheets of this edition of the Laws; and if any trivial errors shall be found, in the publication, they can be readily corrected in the stereotyped plates, and thus a perfect edition of the Laws of the United States will be' obtained. I am gratified to find that the order and arrangement prescribed by Congress, in this edition, will greatly facilitate reference, and, I doubt not will be highly satisfactory to the Profession and to the Public. My own experience in a judicial office has impressed me with the great value of such a publication, and I am happy to have contributed in any degree, in the preparation of so creditable a work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: Plough-Boy, Statesman, Patriot In 1789, George Washington, to whose military skill, patience, wisdom, and unselfish patriotism the new nation owed so 'much, was elected the first President of the infant Republic. Large in area it Was even then, but small in population: When the first census was taken in 1790, the whole country contained only four million in habitants, of Whom about half a million were negro slaves. In those. Early days of American history the people clung to the sea, which was almost their only highway of commerce. Railways had not then been invented, and good roads did not exist, therefore they could only carry on their business by water. Inland the population was scanty, and there were no towns of any size. The people dwelt in rude cabins, and there was an absence of many of the conveniences of civilised life. The settlements ended at the Alleghany Moun tains, and the wilderness began. All the wide region west of these mountains was overrun by hostile savages and wild beasts, except the little pioneer settlements in Kentucky and Tennessee, in which are laid the opening scenes in our story. The western boundary of the United States was not, as now, the Pacific Ocean, but the great Mississippi river, which then flowed through unbroken forests and virgin prairies on its way to the Gulf of Mexico.
