This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ... GOSPEL TALKS. First I would have thee cherish truth As leading star in virtue's train; Folly may pass, nor tarnish youth, But falsehood leaves a poison stain. --Eliza Cook. The Eagle's Nest. Text: "As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: so the Lord alone did lead him." (Deut. xxxii. II, 12.) God puts his relation to us under the strongest metaphors. He is our Sun, our Munition of rocks; he is for us the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and his care for us like that of the eagle caring for its young. This king of the air, whose habitat is on high and whose loyalty is universal, is here made to illustrate God's care over his people. It has its home and brings its young into life amid the inaccessible cliffs at the highest point possible above the earth, with the constant aim to teach and train them for a still higher element. The eagle lives apart from the earth and has as little as possible to do with it and is most at home when beyond the clouds. This World Is the Eyrie of Souls. This is God's principal use for this world, to make of it a nursery in which to rear his young. The harmonious process of the seasons, the bloom and blight of the flowers, the growth and decay of the fruits, and the alternation of daylight and darkness--all the processes of the universe are incidental to this. They are simply relative, shading into the one grand design of preparing souls for the future state. When this aim is accomplished and the last of the immortal .eaglets have fledged and flown, then the old nest shall be burned up. "The earth shall melt with fervent heat." The Mission of the Holy Spirit. This is to bring dead souls to life and then nurture and lead them...

Veteran political journalist Scott Farris tells the stories of legendary presidential also-rans, from Henry Clay to Stephen Douglas, from William Jennings Bryan to Thomas Dewey, and from Adlai Stevenson to Al Gore. He also includes concise profiles of every major candidate nominated for president who never reached the White House but who helped promote the success of American democracy. Farris explains how Barry Goldwater achieved the party realignment that had eluded FDR, how George McGovern paved the way for Barack Obama, and how Ross Perot changed the way all presidential candidates campaign. There is Al Smith, the first Catholic nominee for president; and Adlai Stevenson, the candidate of the "eggheads" who remains the beau ideal of a liberal statesman. And Farris explores the potential legacies of recent runners-up John Kerry and John McCain. The book also includes compact and evocative portraits of such men as John C. Fremont, the first Republican Party presidential candidate; and General Winfield Scott, whose loss helped guarantee the Union victory in the Civil War. This new edition of Almost President brings the work up-to-date with a section that explores the results and ramifications of the 2012 presidential election.

Acclaimed biographer John Loughery tells the story of John Hughes, son of Ireland, friend of William Seward and James Buchanan, founder of St. John’s College (now Fordham University), builder of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth Avenue, pioneer of parochial-school education, and American diplomat. As archbishop of the Archdiocese of New York in the 1840 and 1850s and the most famous Roman Catholic in America, Hughes defended Catholic institutions in a time of nativist bigotry and church burnings and worked tirelessly to help Irish Catholic immigrants find acceptance in their new homeland. His galvanizing and protecting work and pugnacious style earned him the epithet Dagger John. When the interests of his church and ethnic community were at stake, Hughes acted with purpose and clarity. In Dagger John, Loughery reveals Hughes’s life as it unfolded amid turbulent times for the religious and ethnic minority he represented. Hughes the public figure comes to the fore, illuminated by Loughery’s retelling of his interactions with, and responses to, every major figure of his era, including his critics (Walt Whitman, James Gordon Bennett, and Horace Greeley) and his admirers (Henry Clay, Stephen Douglas, and Abraham Lincoln). Loughery peels back the layers of the public life of this complicated man, showing how he reveled in the controversies he provoked and believed he had lived to see many of his goals achieved until his dreams came crashing down during the Draft Riots of 1863 when violence set Manhattan ablaze. To know "Dagger" John Hughes is to understand the United States during a painful period of growth as the nation headed toward civil war. Dagger John’s successes and failures, his public relationships and private trials, and his legacy in the Irish Catholic community and beyond provide context and layers of detail for the larger history of a modern culture unfolding in his wake.
