Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Of all the written portraits of the delegates who attended the Federal Convention of 1787, few are as complete and compelling as those penned by William Pierce Jr. (175389), one of four delegates from Georgia. While at the convention or shortly thereafter, Pierce produced character sketches of fifty-three of the fifty-five delegates. Although widely quoted and cited, the sketchesuntil nowhave never been analyzed or annotated in detail. John R. Viles study offers new insights into the workings of the convention and the character and roles of its delegates, as well as Pierces little-known life, which included time as an artist. Vile reveals, for example, that the time prior to the establishment of national parties when the framers could have successfully met together in convention may have been a relatively narrow historical window.Following overviews of events leading to the 1787 convention and of Pierce and his immediate family, several chapters deal specifically with the character sketches. They cover Pierces arrangement of the sketches and their subjects, his evaluations of the delegates personal qualities and reputations, his assessments of their rhetorical abilities, and his descriptions of their public services, occupations, and miscellaneous matters. Two concluding chapters add further context. One examines a set of somewhat overlapping sketches that Louis Guillaume Otto, the French minister to the United States, penned about members of Congress in 1788. The other looks at writings by Pierces son and namesake that also include assessments of various Founding Fathers. Gathering Pierces sketches in full, with ample annotations and secondary materials, this is a valuable reference on Pierces life, work, and times. Although widely quoted and cited, William Pierce's sketchesuntil nowhave never been analyzed or annotated in detail. John R. Viles study offers new insights into the workings of the convention and the character and roles of its delegates, as well as Pierces little-known life.
