Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gouverneur Morris: The Story of His Life and Work Two generations ago the average American biographer was certainly a marvel of turgid and aimless verbosity; and the reputations of our early statesmen have in no way proved their vitality more clearly than by surviving their entombment in the pages of the authors who immediately succeeded them. No one of the founders of the Constitution suffered more in this respect than has who was perhaps the most brilliant, although by no means the greatest, of the whole number, - Gouverneur Morris. Jared Sparks, hitherto Morris's sole biographer, wrote innumerable volumes on American history, many of which are still very valuable, and some of them almost indispensable, to the student. The value, however, comes wholly from the matter; Mr. Sparks is not only a very voluminous writer, but he is also a quite abnormally dull one. His "Life of Gouverneur Morris" is typical of most of his work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
