A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This, however, is a matter of little consequence. 1have guarded myself against the more disagreeable effects of abuse, by endeavouring not to deserve it. My motives are good; and hence I am willing that the breath of political ma lice should, like the wind, blow where it listeth, and I shall not stop to inquire whence it cometh or whither it goeth. The publick are perhaps apprized, that most of the following pages have been prepared at Lexington, near the residence of Mr. Clay. From this circumstance, I deem it proper to say, that Mr. C. is, in no degree, responsible for the manner or matter of a single paragraph in the volume. I have often had the pleasure of meeting him in society, but I am confident that he has communicated to me far less informa tion, with regard to himself, than he would naturally have done, had he not known that I was preparing a sketch of his life. Some months ago, my Publishers applied to him, by letter, to know whether he willing that his Biography should be given to the world. In his answe he stated, that, as his acts were before his fellow-citizens, he could pperly exercise no censorship or control over the comments,,either friends or enemies ;but, that he must frankly acknowledge the repugnance of his own private feelings to the contemplated publication. Had I read this answer in season, I should have remained inN ewE ngland.
