Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of Eminent American Statesmen: With Speeches, Addresses and LettersThe public are indebted for this volume to her, who, for many years was the devoted wife, the liv ing helpmate of its distinguished author, and this fact lends a pathetic interest to the work itself. Mrs. Perry, though advanced in years, and bowed down by a great grief, assumed the task of compiling and arranging for publication the writings of her husband, and no tribute to the memory of the dead patriot and statesman could be more appropriate, or more touching than this offered by her loving heart. No monument to perpetuate his name and his fame could so arouse the universal sympathy of our people as does this simple memorial of her devotion to him and of her reverence for his memory.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
