Description:Excerpt from Pennsylvania Biography: Or Memoirs of Eminent Pennsylvanians; With Occasional Extracts, in Prose and Verse, From Their Writings It is a remark of Dr. Johnson, that "no species of writing seems more worthy of cultivation than biography, since none can be more delightful or more useful. None more certainly enchains the heart by irresistible interest, or more widely diffuses instruction to every diversity of condition." In subscribing to the correctness of this sentiment of the great moralist, the editor of this work has prepared the memoirs with a special reference to the benefits which might be expected to result to the young, from narratives of individuals who have deservedly won the admiration, and secured the reverence of their fellow men. The moral portraits which he has drawn, may, it is hoped, present such features as will call for their close attention; whilst the account of their lives should beget a desire of imitation, in order to secure a like measure of merited renown. A feeling of state pride has also been attempted to be awakened; and among those jewels which he has here exhibited, there will be found many that the people of Pennsylvania will long treasure, as a portion of the legacy bequeathed to them by the great and good of their beloved commonwealth.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
