Présentation de l'éditeur
This book is written with the special view of introducing an ancestor to his remote descendants, and the general view of picturing the life and manners of a former generation. Simeon Baldwin left material for a close study of educational methods in New England and New York during the latter part of the eighteenth century. He spent two years at Washington as a member of Congress; nearly twelve as a member of the highest court in his State; and fifty as a practicing lawyer. He was an active worker throughout his long life in whatever seemed to him true lines of social advancement. The mass of papers of every sort which he preserved gives an unusual opportunity to a biographer to reproduce this figure of a man who shared the life of two centuries and, in each, faithfully served the community around him, according to his lights and his opportunities.
