Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life and Public Services of Henry Clay But the subject being thus thrown Upon him by those who sought to involve him in difficulty, he brought to it all the powers of his under standing, and, after a thorough investigation, ma tured the plan and bill, which he reported to the Senate. The attempt made by a majority of the Senate, composed of his political enemies, to embarrass him, now recoiled opon their own heads. But if the reference in the first instance, of this subject to the committee on manufactures was unprecedented, the disposition made of Mr. Clay's able report from that committee was still more so.

Henry Clay and the War of 1812
Author: Quentin Scott King
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786478756
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 469
Book Description
Any biography of Henry Clay's 46 year political career quickly becomes entangled with his monumental, though youthful, political leadership of the War Hawks in urging the Madison Administration to arm the United States for war with Great Britain. He continued to advise in the war's progress and ended by being one of the five distinguished Americans to treat for peace with a difficult team of mediocre British envoys. There has been no detailed treatment of his major role in this early American war until this present work.

Pages : 130
Book Description
Excerpt from The Life and Public Services of Henry Clay The first edition of this work appeared, during the autumn of 1842, at which time, there was no published memoir of Mr. Clay (so far as the writer's knowledge extended) except that by George D. Prentice, Esq., which terminates with the close of John Quincy Adams's administration. To this eloquent biographical sketch, the Author takes pleas ure in acknowledging his indebtedness, for a number of interesting facts. The new and improved edition of his life or clay, now offered to the public, has been carefully revised - some errors have been corrected - several omissions have been supplied - awl the Memoir has been brought down to the spring of 1848. It is hardly necessary to say, that the portrait; which accompanies this edition, is from a painting by linen, taken some twenty years since. It was regarded as a like ness at that time. E. S.

Constructing American Lives
Author: Scott E. Casper
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469649047
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 462
Book Description
Nineteenth-century American authors, critics, and readers believed that biography had the power to shape individuals' characters and to help define the nation's identity. In an age predating radio and television, biography was not simply a genre of writing, says Scott Casper; it was the medium that allowed people to learn about public figures and peer into the lives of strangers. In this pioneering study, Casper examines how Americans wrote, published, and read biographies and how their conceptions of the genre changed over the course of a century. Campaign biographies, memoirs of pious women, patriotic narratives of eminent statesmen, "mug books" that collected the lives of ordinary midwestern farmers--all were labeled "biography," however disparate their contents and the contexts of their creation, publication, and dissemination. Analyzing debates over how these diverse biographies should be written and read, Casper reveals larger disputes over the meaning of character, the definition of American history, and the place of American literary practices in a transatlantic world of letters. As much a personal experience as a literary genre, biography helped Americans imagine their own lives as well as the ones about which they wrote and read.
