Lives of the Signers to the Declaration of Independence : John Hancock, Samuel Adams, John Adams, Robert Treat Paine, Lewis Morris, Richard Stockton, John Witherspoon, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Penn

E-book


The venerated emigrants who first planted America, and most of their distinguished successors who laid the foundation of our civil liberty, have found a resting place in the peaceful grave. But the virtues which adorned both these generations; their patience in days of suffering; the courage and patriotic zeal with which they asserted their rights; and the wisdom they displayed in laying the foundations of our government; will be held in lasting remembrance.
