Excerpt from James G. Blaine: A Study of His Life and Career, From the Standpoint of a Personal Witness It was directly following the summer of the event ful year of 1876 that the writer became personally acquainted with Mr. Blaine. He was fortunate enough from the first to secure his confidence, and through this confidence was enabled to talk freely with him upon every subject of interest. Mr. Blaine, when once his confidence was given, was more than frank. He excelled in the art of conver sation. His shrewd judgment of men and affairs, his nimble wit, and his clear, clean English made him an unusually entertaining companion. Unlike many men of equal intelligence, he delighted to give and take. He was not given to monopolizing a conver sation. At times, he would be in a questioning mood, and if any one had anything to say, and real information to impart, no one could be a more atten tive listener than he.

Book Description
Excerpt from James Gillespie Blaine No man who has borne a conspicuous part in the political history of the United States had a personality more interesting than that of James G. Blaine. He possessed all the qualities that draw men to a political leader: a keen, active mind, well-trained by early education and ripened by long experience; a strong and comprehensive grasp of public questions; unwavering devotion to principles espoused in boyhood and held to the last; great skill in the selection of points of attack and defence in political controversy, and in the management of a canvass; remarkable facility in putting in popular form his arguments upon a question at issue, supplemented by extraordinary readiness in off-hand debate. The traits enumerated excite admiration for him who possesses them, and inspire confidence in him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
James G. Blaine was one of the leading national political figures of his day, and probably the most controversial. Intensely partisan, the dominant leader of the Republican Party, and a major shaper of national politics for more than a decade, Blaine is remembered chiefly for his role as architect of the post-Civil War GOP and his two periods as secretary of state. He also was the Republican presidential candidate in the notorious mud-slinging campaign of 1884. His foreign policy was marked by its activism, its focus on Latin America, and its attempt to increase U.S. influence there.
