Excerpt from The Life of Charles Sumner
IN the belief that a Life of Charles Sumner, our great Senator, written in a somewhat popular style, would be welcomed by the public, this work has been carefully prepared from the most authentic sources.
The writers have had access to private papers, and other sources of information, which have enabled them to give some hitherto unpublished incidents and letters.
The works of Mr. Sumner have been carefully examined, and fitting selections from his speeches have been incorporated in the biography. His addresses are an integral part of the history of the times in which he lived, and they largely reveal his character.
