Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Charles Jared Ingersoll The life of Charles Jared Ingersoll should have been written thirty years ago. Not only would the writer at that time have had the great advantage of being able to secure those anecdotes and personal reminiscences which so largely make up the interest of biography; but, in addition to this, Mr. Ingersoll's name was then well known to all observers of public affairs, and there would thus have been a large number of people interested to know more of him. Of course, in the long stretch of years since his death, the vast majority of these have died; and the period has, moreover, been filled with events of stupendous importance which have had the result of greatly changing the whole prevailing view of the history of his time. I know well that the generally accepted view to-day will disagree with not a little contained in the following book, as well as with no small portion of Mr. Ingersoll's political beliefs, but I trust that the time is near at hand when at least a patient hearing can be had.

The large majority are, unfortunately, letters to Mr. Ingersoll, and I have seen comparatively few written by him. This is much to be regretted, for his letters are in general full of interest and instruction, as well as very vivacious. I have reproduced some of them, and have also reproduced at length in Chapter IV. A diary which he kept during a visit to Washington in 1823. This latter was written for the purpose of sending to Mr. Rush in England, and gives an extremely interesting picture of the social life and political struggles of the day. The student of his tory and observer of mankind will certainly find both pleasure and profit in the intimate view the diary and his letters in general give of the great men and events of a past generation.

    Seller was fine, arrived promptly with good packaging and in perfect condition. But I should have asked questions about the book. It is really just a recreation of a collection of pages from old catalogues. I was hoping for more information & history of some of the Chickering models. This was not worth $18 to me. Would have been helpful if the seller had given examples of some pages.

    The first item was not right. The seller made it right. New item received in great condition. Thank you for the great communication and customer service. It looked exactly like the description and I'm pleased with the value of it. Thanks for producing a quality product that is almost impossible to find now. Most of all, thanks for making it right when it was wrong.
