106 pages, with text only on one side for most pages. . Top edge gilt. Illustrated endpapers. The Dedication page reads: Alfred E. Smith will be remembered for many things, but perhaps most of all for his good works and simple words. This compilation, documented from his public life in his own language, is affectionately dedicated to his memory be a family who enjoyed the privilege of knowing him. Alfred Emanuel Smith (December 30, 1873 - October 4, 1944) was an American politician who served four terms as Governor of New York and was the Democratic Party's candidate for president in 1928. Smith served in the New York State Assembly from 1904 to 1915 and held the position of Speaker of the Assembly in 1913. Smith also served as sheriff of New York County from 1916 to 1917. He was first elected governor of New York in 1918, and was elected governor again in 1922, 1924, and 1926. Smith was the foremost urban leader of the Efficiency Movement in the United States and was noted for achieving a wide range of reforms as New York governor in the 1920s. Incumbent Republican Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover was aided by national prosperity and the absence of American involvement in war, and he defeated Smith in a landslide in 1928. Smith sought the 1932 Democratic presidential nomination but was defeated by Franklin D. Roosevelt, his successor as Governor of New York. Smith then entered business in New York City, became involved in the construction and promotion of the Empire State Building.
