Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life of James Buchanan, Fifteenth President of the United States, Vol. 1 of 2
In regard to this and to every other part of his life, I have found it an interesting task to trace the history of a man whose public and private character were always pure, whose patriotism was coextensive with his whole country, whose aims were high, and who was habitually conscientious in the discharge of every obligation. My estimate of his abilities and power as a states man has n'sen with every investigation that I have made and it is, in my judgment, not too much to say of him as a Presi dent of the United States, that he is entitled to stand very high 011 the catalognc - not a large one - of those who have had the moral courage to encounter misrepresentation and obloquy, rather than swerve from the line of duty which their convictions marked out for them.
