Book Description

Excerpt from A Memoir of the Life of William Livingston: Member of Congress in 1774, 1775, and 1776 Posthumous fame often owes much to a happy selection of a biographer, and the warm esteem and admiration felt by one age, may never, to the great injury of a reputation, be transmitted to the succeeding generation, solely from the want of one, sufficiently able or interested, immediately to collect and imbody, in an attractive form, those, fleeting but conclusive testimonials of worth and greatness.
