The Biography of Dewitt Clinton, which is now submitted to the public, was originally intended to hve been a mere sketch, comprised within less than a third of its present extent The subject, however, was found to present itself in so many new and important points of view, that it appeared probable thai so meager an outline would have given but little satisfaction to the reader. In this stage of the composition, the author was tendered the use of the manuscript papers of the subject of the biography, and various other materials, by the kindness of Charles A. Clinton, the worthy and estimable son of so distinguished a father. To this gentleman thanks are gratefully returned for this and various other assistance which he has rendered the author. Thus, while no undue influence has been exerted by any of the relatives or friends of the departed statesman, the work will have the merit, if it possess no other, of being drawn from the most authentic sources. ..

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and political career of Dewitt Clinton, a prominent figure in early American politics. It provides a comprehensive account of his rise to prominence, his role in shaping the political landscape of New York, and his contributions to the development of the state's infrastructure. The author traces Clintonââ â¢s path from his early education at Columbia College, where he was a distinguished student, through his time as private secretary to his uncle, Governor George Clinton, and his subsequent entry into the world of political writing. The book examines the heated political climate of the era, as the fledgling nation grappled with the complexities of its new constitution and its international relations. It explores Clintonââ â¢s early political leanings and his evolving views on federalism, his involvement in the debate surrounding the adoption of the federal constitution, and his participation in the state convention tasked with ratifying the document. The book goes on to investigate Clintonââ â¢s active engagement in the debates surrounding national policy during the administrations of Presidents Adams and Jefferson, highlighting his commitment to issues such as internal improvements and national defense. A central theme of the book is the pivotal role played by Clinton in the development of the Erie Canal, a landmark project that transformed the economic and social landscape of New York and the nation. The author meticulously details the origins of the canal project, the debates and controversies surrounding its implementation, and Clintonââ â¢s tireless efforts to champion its completion.
