Excerpt from The New-England Historical and Genealogical Register and Antiquarian Journal, Vol. 23: For the Year 1869The pen Ofthe biographer and the tongue of the orator have long since given their tributes to the memory of John Albion Andrew, but it is fitting that the pages of the Official organ of that Society of which he was an honored President, Should contain a recognition Of his virtues, a testimonial of the high esteem in which he was held, a portrayal, inadequate though it be, of his character.1 Of him as a man, a citizen, a lawyer, a magistrate, and a statesman, Of his ser vices in the varied stations he was called upon to occupy, others have written and Spoken with that detail which a truthful record demanded and as the years pass on, and the principles for which he lived and labored, with all the generous devotion Of his great heart, Shall ripen into a'rich fruitage, his eminent abilities, his high integrity Of pur pose, and his un¿inching energy in the assertion and maintenance Of human rights, will be increasingly apparent, and continually furnish fresh material for the historian, and fresh enthusiasm for every lover Of his fellow man. It may be truthfully said Of him that he was not for a day, but for all time and as great men and their deeds never grow Old, but always brighten as the light of years falls upon them, so he will ever be a living power, a brilliant example for all patriots who shall follow him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
