Excerpt from The Public Man: A Discourse on Occasion of the Death of Hon. John Fairfield, Delivered in Washington, Dec, 28, 1847
We meet, many of us, as strangers; and a stranger's death impresses us far less than that of a neighbor and friend. We lose here, in some degree, that sense of the close interweaving of life and life, of the intimate inter dependence whereby each man is united with all others, which in a differently constituted community makes one of the strongest incentives to virtue, and the most pow erful restraint upon wrong. The more seriously, then, should an instance of this sort be reflected on, so as to restore a portion of that impressiveness, which is in dan ger of being lost.

Excerpt from The Public Man: A Discourse on Occasion of the Death of Hon. John Fairfield, Delivered in Washington, Dec, 28, 1847
I have employed the interval of time since the delivery of the following Discourse, in carefully substantiating the accuracy of the facts and allusions contained in it, and have not found cause to vary at all from any statements I have made.
The gentlemen to whose friendly interest I am indebted for my materials, will accept my grateful acknowledgment. To those who have kindly offered to furnish additional data to be embodied in the Discourse, I return my sincere thanks; but as its nature and design, no less than the short time of preparation allowed, prevent its being a full and authentic record of events, I have preferred to retain it in its original form, only adding a few lines where required by the connexion.
By the courtesy of the gentlemen whose duty it became to announce the death of Governor Fairfield in the Houses of Congress, I am permitted to insert their remarks in the form of an Appendix. J.H. A. Washington, December 29,

The Public Man: A Discourse on Occasion of the Death of Hon (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a reflection on the life and untimely death of Governor John Fairfield, a self-made man and pillar of mid-19th century American society. Through the lens of a memorial service sermon delivered shortly after his passing, the author chronicles Fairfield's journey from humble beginnings to the highest echelons of power. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the political and social landscape of the time, and explores themes of integrity, faith, and the ephemeral nature of life. The author argues that Fairfield's unwavering commitment to justice, his principled leadership, and his deep Christian faith served as a beacon of hope and inspiration during a tumultuous period in American history. Ultimately, this book is a tribute to the power of one man's character to shape the course of events and leave a lasting legacy.
