Book Description

Excerpt from The Life, Speeches, and Public Services of John Bell The emergency in which the country is now placed is one that requires skilful pilotage at the helm of State; seldom since the troublous times at the outset of our national life has there been such need of calm and moderate counsels, of considerate and well-tried patriotism, of eminent judgment, of spotless probity, of sterling statesmanship, of long experience in the man who for four years is to direct, and in a great degree control, the weighty affairs of public life.
