Synopsis

Excerpt from Martin Van Buren

It sometimes happened during the anxious years when the terrors of our civil war, though still smouldering, were nearly aflame, that on Wall Street or Nassau Street, busy men of New York saw Martin Van Buren and his son walking arm in arm. "Prince John," tall, striking in appearance, his hair divided at the middle in a fashion then novel for Americans, was in the prime of life, resolute and aggressive in bearing. His father was a white-haired and bright-eyed old man, erect but short in figure, of precise though easy and kindly politeness, and with a touch of deference in his manner. His presence did not peremptorily command the attention of strangers; but to those who looked attentively there was plain distinction in the refined and venerable face. Passers-by might well turn back to see more of the two men thus affectionately and picturesquely together. For they were famous characters, - the one in the newer, the other in the older politics of America.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Life was originally published, the history of American Politics has been greatly enriched. The painstaking and candid labors of Mr. Fiske, Mr. A dams, Mr. Rhodes, and others have gone far to render unnecessary the caveat I then entered against the unfairness, or at least the narrowness, of the temper with which Van Buren, or the school to which he belonged, had thus far been treated in American literature, and which had prejudicially misled me before I began my work. Such a caveat is no longer necessary. Even now, when the political creed of whijah Jefferson, Van Buren, and Tilden have been chief apostles in our land, seems to suffer some degree of eclipse, only temporary, it may well be believed, but nevertheless real, those who, like myself, have undertaken to present the careers of great Americans who held this faith need not fear injustice or prejudice in the field of American
