Pages : 34
Book Description
Excerpt from Maxims of James Abram Garfield, General, Patriotic, Political Congressional literature receives but little attention in this country. Too much of its bulk is but the saw-dust of debate, the dry chips that some dreary orator strikes from the block of a tiresome subject. In consequence, much that is valuable, powerful, and eloquent of national life, appearing in speeches that are the exception to the rule, is missed by the vast majority. Thousands will probably read with surprise, not being aware of their existence, the clever, philosophical, manly and patriotic maxims that are printed in the following pages, taken entirely from the public utterances of the Republican nominee for the Presidency. It is, indeed, remarkable how thickly his speeches - which are never dry - are studded with jewels of utterance. The compiler has made no attempt at elaborate classification. The maxims have been arranged so as to bear a certain relation of subject, and such notes as are necessary have been added. The title of "Maxims" is entirely the selection of the Compiler. The beauty, the wit and wisdom of much that General Garfield has uttered cannot but win its way to an abiding place in the hearts of the American people, and serve to bring them into closer relation with the admirable sentiments of the man who has been nominated to the highest post of honor in this Republic.

Languages : en
Pages : 30
Book Description
James A. Garfield (1831-1881) was the 20th President of the United States. He was a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1863 to 1881. He is the only president to have been an ordained clergyman and was president of Hiram College in Ohio, and a general in the Civil War. Widely read, he had a propensity for apt pithy observations on life. His presidency lasted only 200 days as he was shot by a disgruntled office seeker on July 2, 1881 and died some weeks later. One of his sons, Harry Garfield, was the longest serving president of Williams College and a close friend of Woodrow Wilson. Harry maintained a home in Washington at 1527 New Hampshire Avenue, which is now the headquarters of Westphalia Press and the Policy Studies Organization.
