Excerpt from The Life of Major-General William H. Harrison, Ninth President of the United StatesHe claims but little originality for his book. He might, perhaps, assume for it something more than a compilation, with as much justice as many others, but a discriminating public' would discover the at tempted cheat as it is discovered in' other cases. Policy, therefore, as well as honesty, has induced him to claim no more than he deserves, believing that the most certain means of securing quite as much. It is. Not much, indeed, in regard to such a man as Harri son, that has not already somewhere and in some shape been said. If the following pages have a re deeming point it can only be that there has been grouped together within the more of them facts that make up his public life than are anywhere else to be found. As many of these facts as were accessible, which were' considered necessary to complete the rec ord of his acts, illustrate his character, and do justice to his memory, will be found there.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
