Excerpt from The United States Manual of Biography and History The object of the author of the "United States Manual" is to furnish his countrymen with a complete compendium of biography of the distinguished statesmen who have taken part in public affairs from the colonial period of our history to the present day. At the same time, the work will be found to afford a history of the country, as well as a complete series of biographies of its public men. The Introductory History extends from the discovery of America, by Columbus, to the Declaration of Independence. The life of Washington carries forward the national history to the close of his administration, and the lives of the other Presidents comprise the histories of their respective administrations, thus rendering the national history complete. In examining the list of public men whose lives are comprised in this volume, the reader will not fail to perceive that it comprises all who have taken a very prominent part in our national affairs.
