Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives and Graves of Our Presidents The seeds of the republic were planted in a distrust of the king. AS that grew, the necessity for self-government became more apparent. Slowly, but absolutely, at last, their loyalty and affection for the king died, and self-government was the one only form of national existence to adopt. They adopted it' in solemn recognition of all that it meant, and so adopting it they realized the momentous Significance and responsibility of the ruler of a free people who lived and acted for them, in the heart of a new continent, growing rapidly in every element of power and greatness, with the eyes of the world turned upon them, and in an age ripe for great revolutions. Their peculiar, and as they thought providential, history deepened the solem nity of what they did. Then, their first president was as a man and a magistrate so almost infinitely above the king they once loved but now loathed, and had done so much, and with such singular devotion to the public good and every high obligation in securing their liberties, that all their old respect for rulers returned to their hearts With increased tenderness and force. The president became more to them than the king ever was. In his person there centered all the profound regard they had learned to cherish for the people, for republican institutions, and the humanity of which they formed a part. The baptism of suffering and sorrow through which they passed in the change from the king to the president gave them one of the great' lessons that went deepest into their hearts, and started in the new nation a tide of profound respect for the chief magistrate who was the people's authority. No other nation ever had so fortunate a beginning, or so rich a pupilage through an infancy abounding in lessons of wisdom and worth, or so grand an entrance into the manhood of national life. Such a beginning prophesied all the greatness, worth and power which have followed. The colonial school of America was rough, but solid and genuine and trained a people such as the world never saw before, as the seed of a new nation and a new era of mankind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Presidents: Or the Lives of Twenty-Three Presidents of the United States On the last day of April, 1889, our country will have had a century of Presidents. Yet it is improbable that the majority of Americans will, on that day, be aware that it is one of the great dates of history. For it will then be a hundred years since George Washington took the oath of office as first President of the United States. The great historic scene, with all its circumstances and surroundings, is familiar to us. We still see the tall, stately figure, the grave, striking face, as Washington, "in his dress of American manufacture," stood before the awed, breathless crowds of that old New York, the chief actor in a drama such as the world had never before witnessed. It is evident that our first President must have taken his oath of office with feelings which could never be wholly reflected by any of those who came after him. Yet I think, if he could at that hour have looked down the long line of his twenty-one successors, it would have gladdened his soul to know how many of these would make it their supreme aim to serve their country - so far as lay in them - with his own wise, far-seeing statesmanship, and his own simple, patriotic devotion. The man or woman to whose lot it shall fall to write the biographies of the Presidents of a second century, will, it is hoped, find as much worthy of honor and praise, as the author of these brief sketches has found. It must also be true in that far-off day, as in the present one, that those who think best of men judge them most truly."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Presidents of the United States: Designed for Study It is hoped these biographical sketches may aid in deter mining what traits Oi character and achievements will most certainly lead to honorable recognition. The lives of public men are so closely associated with and influenced by the events of their times that their biographies naturally include much of the history Of the country, while a knowledge of the character and progress of the people may be gained by studying the careers Of the men who have been chosen as their leaders. It is difficult for a contemporary to review the events of the recent administrations and pass judgment on public men, with regard to their final place in history, on account of the environment of party strife with all its conflicting Opinions; but it has been our aim to present these biographies from an entirely non-partisan viewpoint.

Watson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Presidents of the United States, to Which Is Prefixed an Introductory History of the United States, From the Discovery Till the Time of Washington These memoirs of the Presidents of the United States have been composed and arranged upon a plan having some claim to novelty. An introductory chapter traces the history of the country up to the time when the first of our chief magistrates appeared in the public arena, and the ensuing biographies contain everything of importance in our subsequent career as a nation; so that while we give complete lives of the men, we also give the whole history of the mighty republic, over whose destinies they have been called to preside. It is believed that this design lends the work an interest beyond that which would arise from a simple succession of memoirs. We have reason to be proud of our country; so vast are its resources; so peculiar is its career; so beneficent to mankind is its destiny; and, in our opinion, we have a no less solid foundation for self-satisfaction in regard to the choice of our people for the chief magistracy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of Our Presidents: Complete Biographies of All the Presidents of the United States, From the Formation of the Government to the Present Time, Incidentally Embracing a History of the Country for More Than One Hundred Years In presenting to the public, in this work, the lives of the Presidents of the United States, the author has been actuated not only by the ordinary motives of the biographer and his torian, but also by an earnest desire to present to the youth of the land for their admiration, ambition and emulation the noblest examples of self-made manhood the world ever saw. Human history fails to present, since governments began, a. Succession of rulers who have so generally risen from humble positions, and, by the inherent and cultivated elements of true and noble manhood, reached such sublime heights in the records of individual achievement and greatness. In all those qualities through which they have improved their own condi tion and that of their fellow men, they outrank the noblest Roman patrician and the sublimest Grecian philosopher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Presidents of the United States: With Biographical Notices of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence; Sketches of the Most Remarkable Events in the History of the Country In writing the Lives of the Presidents of the United States, it has been difficult to preserve the strict impartiality which the nature of the work requires, and avoid running either into eulogy or abuse. The circumstances of their administration are so recent, that one who has lived through the greater portion of them, and entered into all the excited feelings of party strife, can hardly be supposed capable of divesting himself of prejudices, and passions, however much he may desire to be an honest chronicler of the times. We can only say, that it has been our sincere aim and endeavor to see near events with the eye of a distant spectator, and to anticipate the dispassionate judgment which posterity will pass upon the great men who have administered our Government. The affairs of the last twenty years are yet hardly ripe for the biographer, and the materials for their history are scattered in various directions, and to be drawn from many different sources. That all those sources should be pure, is more than can be expected; but we have uniformly endeavored to resort only to those least exposed to suspicion. For the materials of our work, we owe much obligation to many distinguished writers. To the Lives of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, by a gentleman who has done a great deal for the illustration of American history, we have been much indebted in the course of the volume, and particularly in our summary of their biographies.
