Excerpt from American Ideals, With a Biographical Sketch by Gen. Francis Vinton Greene, And, Administration Civil Service While in the Legislature he still found time for literary work, and, in 1882, wrote The N aval War of I8I2, which told the story of our glorious suc cesses on the sea; it was written at a period when our merchant marine was in decadence, our navy at its lowest ebb, and public interest in the subject al most wholly lost. It was not without its effect on the rebuilding of the navy which began two years later, which fortunately for us had already reached such a splendid development before 1898, and which is still in progress.
