Excerpt from Party Leaders: Sketches of Thomas Jefferson, Alex'r Hamilton, Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, John Randolph, of Roanoke, Including Notices of Many Other Distinguished American StatesmenIf it be objected that the work is wanting in the sober gravity and subdued tone, by some supposed to be the only legitimate style of history, he begs to re mind the critic that he sought to blend interest with instruction, and, especially, to make his pages attrac tive to young men. To secure this end, he has labored to unite biography with political history and, by pla cing rival leaders in antagonism, to make events and principles stand out in bold relief, and to give a more striking expression to the characters he has ventured to sketch.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
