Excerpt from A Memorial Address: Delivered at the Request of the City Council of Boston at the Installation of a Bronze Statue of Admiral Farragut in the Marine Park, June 28, 1893If the early biography of Admiral Farragut be limi ted and simple (and so far as I know, outside of public documents, it is chie¿y embodied in a volume written by his son, Mr. Loyall Farragut, of New York, and in another by Captain A. T. Malian, from each of which I have drawn liberally in the preparation of this address), if, I say, it be limited and simple, it is also singularly picturesque, romantic, and providential, indeed, from first to last, his career appears to have been guided and directed by an inscrutable Providence, which led his associates and followers to say so often that he had a charmed life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
