Synopsis
A thoughtful collection of Rufus Choate’s addresses on American law, history, and national virtue invites readers to see how unity and public service shape a nation.
The book gathers speeches that survey the story of New England and the United States, linking legal tradition, historical memory, and the idea of a common national life. It argues that enduring American greatness comes from a shared spirit, not from dramatic reform alone, and it uses vivid examples from law, politics, and culture to make its case.
Through portraits of judges, statesmen, and moments in early American history, the work explores how literature and rhetoric can illuminate public life. It traces the rise of a united American identity and the role of public virtue in shaping law and governance.
- Insights into constitutional and legal history and how it informs current civic life
- Profiles of figures like Daniel Webster, including their impact on law and politics
- Connections between literature, national memory, and the formation of public virtue
- A perspective on unity, federal life, and the American project across generations
Ideal for readers interested in historical biography, legal history, and American rhetoric.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The history of the United States, from the planting of the several Colonies out of which they have sprung, to the end of the war of the Revolution, is now as amply written, as accessible, and as authentic, as any other portion of the history of the world, and incomparably more so than an equal portion of the history of the origin and first ages of any other nation that ever existed. But there is one thing more which every lover of his country, and every lover of literature, would wish done for our early history.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the premise that the history of the American United States from its colonial origins to its independence in the 18th century would be greatly illuminated by the creation of a series of romantic fictional compositions, such as those provided by the Waverley Novels of Sir Walter Scott. The author maintains that these Waverley Novels would have an intrinsic historical value as sources of anecdotal but authentic information about the era in question, would make the known information more accessible and engaging for casual readers, and would enable readers to appreciate the moral lessons embedded in history through vivid, emotionally engaging storytelling. By using imaginative license to complement the historical record, these fictional compositions would be able to provide a more complete picture of the period, revealing not just the major events but also the daily lives, customs, concerns and aspirations of the era's people. These compositions would also provide a more intimate and immersive understanding of the social and political conditions that influenced the intellectual and cultural landscape of the period, allowing readers to see history unfold through the eyes of its participants. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331154525_0
