Excerpt from Beacon Lights of History, Vol. 6: Part I. American Founders; Part II. American Leaders Warriors and Statesmen, which was Volume IV of his original series of five volumes. The wide popular accept ance of the five volumes encouraged him to extend the series by including, and rewriting for the purpose, others Of his great range of lectures. The volume called War riors and Statesmen (now otherwise distributed) included a number of lectures which in this new edition have been arranged in more natural grouping. Among them were the lectures on Hamilton and Webster. It has been deemed wise to bring these into closer relation with their contemporaries and thus Hamilton is now placed in this volume, among the other American Founders, and Webster in the volume on American Leaders.
