GOOD BOOK - RECEIVED IN TERRIBLE CONDITION - SOKOLOFF
I received this book very very damaged. In fact, the book was almost folded in half if you can believe it when it finally arrived and the binding is broken.The book looks like a mess and, although it was used, it said it was in great condition.I never would have kept it, but I needed it for a thesis that I am writing.

A new take
This is a meticulously researched, sympathetic biography which makes good use of diaries and other materials not available to prior writers.The results are fascinating, even if the conclusions are ultimately unconvincing (e.g, Kate Chase was basically a woman like most others simply looking for love).Her contemporaries certainly saw her as a conniving, ambitious politico and while that portrait may be too harsh, this book carries it too far in the other direction.Still, a very valuable addition to the small body of writings focusing on the daughter of Lincoln's Treasury Secretary. ...

Product Description
MR. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN, THE ALUMNI OF DARTMOUTH COLLEGE: When, not many weeks since, the committee of your association did me the honor to invite me to present, in an address to the assembled graduates of the college, a commemoration of the life, the labors, and the fame of the very eminent man and greatly honored scholar of your discipline, lawyer, orator, senator, minister, magistrate, whom living a whole nation admired and revered, whom dead a whole nation laments, I felt that neither a just sense of public duty nor the obligations of personal affection would permit me to decline the task. Yielding, perhaps too readily, to the persuasions of your committee that somewhat close professional and public association with the Chief-Justice in the later years of his life, and the intimate enjoyment of his personal friendship, might excuse my want of that binding tie of fellowship in a commemoration, in which the venerated college does dutiful honor to a son, and the assembled alumni crown with their affection the memory of a brother, I dismissed also, upon the same persuasion, all anxious solicitudes, which otherwise would have oppressed me, lest importunate and inextricable preoccupations of time and mind should disable me from presenting as considerable, and as considerate, a survey of the eminent character and celebrated career of Mr. Chase as should comport with them, or satisfy the just exigencies of the occasion.

The commemoration which brings us together has about it nothing funereal, in sentiment or observance, to darken our minds or sadden our hearts to-day. The solemn rites of sepulture, the sobbings of sorrowing affection, the homage of public grief, the concourse of the great officers of state, the assemblage of venerable judges, the processions of the bar, of the clergy, of liberal and learned men, the attendant crowds of citizens of every social rank and station, both in the great city where he died, and at the national capital, have already graced his burial with all imaginable dignity and unmeasured reverence. To prolong or renew this pious office is no part of our duty to-day. Nor is the maturity or nurture which the college gives to those it calls its sons, bestowed as it is upon their mind and character, affected by the death of the body as is the heart of the natural mother; nor are you, his brethren in this foster care of the spirit, bowed with the same sense of bereavement as are natural kindred. The filial and fraternal relation which he bore to you, the college and the alumni, is hardly broken by his death, nor is he hidden from you by his burial. His completed natural life is but the assurance and perpetuation of the power, the fame, the example, which the discipline and culture here bestowed had for their object, and in which they find their continuing and ever-increasing glory. The energy here engendered has not ceased its beneficent activity, the torch here lighted still diffuses its illumination, and the fires here kindled still radiate their heat.

The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.

Nimick, Phil Auten, William Kerr. Excerpt:Bernhard "Barney" Dreyfuss (February 23, 1865 February 5, 1932) was an executive in Major League Baseball who owned the Pittsburgh Pirates franchise from 1900 to 1932. He is often credited with the creation of the modern baseball World Series . He also built one of baseball's first modern steel and concrete baseball park, Forbes Field , in 1909. During his period of ownership, the Pirates won six National League pennants and World Series titles in 1909 and 1925; only the New York Giants won more NL championships (10) during the same period. Biography Dreyfuss was born in Freiburg, Grand Duchy of Baden as the son of Samuel Dreyfuss, who was a US citizen since about 1861. His father had made a fortune selling spirits to the Native Americans . After training in a bank in Karlsruhe he emigrated in 1881 to the US to escape conscription. There, he lived and worked with the Bernheim family in Paducah, Kentucky . The Bernheims were relatives of his grandfather Leon Bernheim. In 1888, he moved with the Bernheim family to Louisville, Kentucky . As a successful entrepreneur in Louisville, he was able to purchase the Louisville Colonels baseball team. One of his best decisions was hiring a local city editor and educated lawyer, Harry Clay Pulliam (who taught him to speak English), as his club secretary; he later appointed him president. It was Pulliam who convinced Dreyfuss to sign a young player by the name of Honus Wagner . Dreyfuss became owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates and took Pulliam to serve as president and negotiated with Wagner to come along. Wagner soon emerged as the National Leag... ... Read more
