Excerpt from Memoir of Nathaniel Macon, of North Carolina Sir - Knowing the profound veneration and abiding affection always entertained by you for your grandfather, the late N. Macon, of North Carolina; and persuaded that his virtues and principles have found a worthy representative in the grandson, I feel a pride in addressing to you the following pages. Their preparation has been, to me, "a labor of love," and I indulge the hope that I have presented his character fairly and truthfully to the world, and placed before the American youth the model of a statesman and patriot that will challenge admiration throughout all time.

Excerpt from The Life of Nathaniel Macon The raison d'etre of a biography of Nathaniel Macon is to be found in the unique and also important role he played in our national life and in the great sectional contest which filled the first half of the nineteenth century. No comprehensive life of Macon has ever been attempted. A half dozen news paper articles, and of recent years a few semi-scientific sketches of his career, have been published; and some letters of Macon with introductions and notes have appeared since the writer began his searches for materials. But none of these have given more than a glimpse of the able leader and astute politician who so long held the first place in the political affairs of North Carolina. In the midst of the duties of a teacher of history, the author has tried to get together the scanty materials bearing on Macon's life, and to draw from these a picture of his rise to prominence in North Carolina during and just after the Revolution, of his activity as an ardent Jefferson republican, which brought him to the Speakership of Congress, of his long and determined opposition to Clay's American system, and finally of his share in the Jackson campaigns. How well this self-imposed task has been done, how accurately the picture of the real Macon has been drawn, is for the reader to determine. But one thing at least may be said of the work: it has been attempted, and with the attempt some of the materials of North Carolina's history have been collected and put within the reach of the public.

Excerpt from Life of the Hon. Nathaniel Macon, of North Carolina: In Which There Is Displayed Striking Instances of Virtue, Enterprise, Courage, Generosity and Patriotism An author, who produces a book, be it good or bad, in some measure exhibits his heart to the world, provided this book contains thoughts which, if he has not invented, (and indeed in our days there is little left for invention, ) he has at least found and made his own. He not only reveals the subjects, that have employed his thoughts at certain periods, the doubts that have occurred to perplex him in his journey through life, and the solutions, with which he has removed them; but he reckons upon some minds in unison with his own, be they ever so few, to which these or similar ideas will prove of importance in the labyrinth of life. This is the most estimable merit of authorship, and a man of good heart will feel much less pleasure from what he says, than from what he excites.

Excerpt from Nathaniel Macon: An Address About us on every hand is peace. But the occasion, this place, these monuments speak of war - a war patriotic in its beginning, glorious in its conduct, far-reaching in its consequences, which ended the sovereignty of the king and ushered in the sovereignty of the people and in which a loyal colony was transformed into the free State of North Carolina. The privations and dangers of war gave way to the cares and perplexities of civil life under new and untried conditions. The foundations of goverment had been well laid in constitutions for which existed no precedents of form or interpretation, but the details and policies of both State and National Governments were literally to be spelled out under circumstances demanding almost infinite patience and courage. It was inevitable that differences should result in opposing parties. Visions of empire, of wealth and position fixed the fancy of some on a government of power and dignity, which should be made great by the control and direction of the great and wealthy few. To these constitutions were but shackles that impeded the progress of brilliant policies and to be got rid of as far as possible, if not by repeal, then by a broadness o interpretation which should make all things possible. Others saw visions of manhood - self-governing, exalted and dignified. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
