Excerpt from Verse Memorials That these poems - which have dropped like wild-flowers along the rugged path of public duty - may prove hereafter a source of utility and pleasure to the sole offspring Of a happy home, is an additional reason for their collection and publication. The author would wish that his little daughter might acquire from these verses a better knowledge of her father's heart - or at least of some of its impulses - than she may be able to derive from the public records Of his political and military life; for such records generally can very little more than represent the sterner and less attractive phases of character. He is not unwilling - nay, he desires - to be judged, as a patriot, a soldier, and a statesman, by his documents and his Official acts but at the same time he would have the child of his heart to know that her father, however rigid in the discharge of Official duty, was something more than the mere soldier and politician; and that while he was devoted to his country, he was equally so in his private relations, and always less mindful of himself than of others. This she will gather from the present volume better than from history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
