Présentation de l'éditeur

To no man of this generation more fully than to Charles Devens can be paid the honor due. to faithful and honorable public service. Devotion to the State, obedience to the call of his country, these were his conspicuous traits. His service was ungrudging. When the war came, he freely stepped forward. He was at the front in some of the bloodiest and most obstinate of the Virginia battles. His public life was long, distinguished, and absolutely unblemished. No cloud ever rested for a moment upon his fair fame. His honors were won by no devious methods, by no unworthy concessions. His ambition was lofty, and it was disinterested. It was, moreover, successful. The confidence of the public rewarded his unmistakable devotion to the public good. The whole community rejoiced to do him honor.
