Beacon Lights of History, Vol. 11 (Classic Reprint)

American Statesmen was written some years after the issue of his volume on Warriors and Statesmen, which was Volume IV of his original series of five volumes. The wide popular acceptance of the five volumes encouraged him to extend the series by including, and rewriting for the purpose, others of his great range of lectures. The volume called Warriors and Statesmen (now otherwise distributed) included a number of lectures which in this new edition have been arranged in more natural grouping. A mong them were the lectures on Hamilton and Webster. It has been deemed wise to bring these into closer relation with their contemporaries, and thus Hamilton is now placed in this volume, among the other American Founders, and Webster in the volume on American Leaders. Of the Founders there is one of whom Dr. Lord did not treat, yet whose services especially in the popular confirmation of the Constitution by the various States, and notably in its fundamental interpretation by the United States Supreme Court rank as vitally important.
