Book excerpt: Excerpt from Newton Booth, of California, His Speeches and Addresses Every man who during his lifetime has been a public servant and educator, whose speeches and writings have been of such high character and permanent interest as to deserve preservation, has written and spoken his own biography. The record of the main incidents in his career are, however, an aid to an understanding of character, while the portrayal of characteristics gives a better knowledge of the man. There have lived men who commanded respect and fame for intellectual qualities only; others who were admirable also for the cardinal virtues; and a smaller number possessing high qualities both intellectual and moral, and gifted besides with attributes that endeared them personally to multitudes. Such men are rare, and when they pass away many are eager to learn all that may be told of them. In person Newton Booth was a singular blending of grace and power. At first glance he impressed one as tall, slightly built, and almost fragile; at second, he presented an effect of proportion and of action, with shoulders relatively broad, chest deep, and a sinewy ease of movement suggesting muscles of flexible steel. The earlier impression was that of a scholarly presence almost delicate; the later, of possible strength allied with tireless energy.
