Excerpt from The Republic, or a History of the United States of America in the Administrations, Vol. 2: From the Monarchic Colonial Days to the Present TimesWhile I have sought information from all other possible sources, I feel under no obligations to mention them here. In all cases, in the body of the work, credit has been given where it was due. And at all times I have kept in view the predetermination to make the mere man subservient to historic events, worthy theories and principles, and virtues deserving of admiration and eternal perpetuation.The numerous quotations throughout this volume, or in any other part of this work, the reader is requested not to look upon as excrescences, nor, in deed, as springing from an attempt to ornament the text. While they pr0p and supplement that they are to be regarded as an essential part of the plan on which the entire work was projected.The leading object has been to embody in the books the greatest possible amount of information on the subject in hand without sacrificing their popular tone or making too great a demand upon the reader. The quotations have been selected with great care as bearing directly on the character or the event, and while they thus at every step form an important fea ture in the development of the general scheme, it is hoped that no apology will be needed for a course which compels the man to portray his own character or that of his times.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
