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 YearsIn 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
