Excerpt from American Presidents: Their Individualities and Their, Contributions to American Progress President Of the United States. I wondered at the time who this typical President might be. Would it be the dignified Washington, the grace ful Pierce, the sympathetic Lincoln, the stub born Johnson, the intellectual Benjamin Harri son, Or the lovable mckinley? Or might it possibly be none Of these but only an imaginary composite character who never in reality OO cupied the presidential chair at all? A quest for the typical President would, in all probabil ity, prove fruitless, as far as immediate results are concerned, but a study Of the personal traits and individual characteristics Of the twenty seven men who have occupied the presidential chair in the last hundred and twenty-eight years ought to be an interesting one. In making such a study one cannot fail to be impressed with the great variety Of the personalities and abili ties Of the American Presidents. There is no monotony in the panorama. The first President Of the junited States has always stood as the personification Of dignity, poise, and sound judgment. He was not as elo quent as Patrick Henry, as scholarly as James Madison, or as brilliant as Alexander Hamilton.
