Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Republic of the United States of America, Vol. 4: As Traced in the Writings of Alexander Hamilton and of His Cotemporaries Having given, in the previous volumes of this work, a history of the origin and rise of the Republic of the United States of America, "as traced in the writings of Alexander Hamilton and of his cotemporaries," it is now proposed, by an exhibition of facts derived from these and other sources of information, to present a larger portraiture of the organization and early administrations of the present National Government, of its domestic and foreign policy, of its parties and chief actors, than has hitherto been delineated. The great standard work on American history is justly admitted to be that of Chief Justice Marshall, entitled, "The Life of George Washington." Deriving his statements chiefly from the papers of that illustrious patriot, preserved by himself, with studious care, as monuments of the history of a people he had so well served, nothing can be more generally authentic. But, its author being a participant in many of the events which had occurred, and restrained by his elevated station, is seen to have been very guarded and heedful in his presentment of the motives, conduct, and characters of men then filling high places. Indeed, at the time he wrote, a fuller presentation would have been as difficult as unwise. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
