JAMES MADISON BY SYDNEY HOWARD GAY "Few men, so well equipped intellectually as was Madison, have, by reason of the characteristics of their equipment, been so dependent for success upon the conditions amid which they have been placed. Madison was preeminently what may be called a cabinet statesman. He was better as a thinker than as an actor. He had the constructive quality, and was a master of principles of government; but in the practical application of those principles, which he himself had formulated and shaped, if not created, he was not fitted to excel, unless possibly when the current of events was running smoothly. Had he died before he was President, his fame would not have been less than it is to-day, when he is remembered and admired chiefly for his labors in connection with the creation of the Constitution and the foundation of the government." - Editor's Preface This work is designed to give an in depth glance into the life of the fourth President of the United States, James Madison. It begins with Madison's early life in Virginia and traces it through his stint in Congress, the State Assembly, and the Virginia Legislature. It also includes chapters on the Continental Congress, Adoption of the Constitution, the First Congress, Slavery, Secretary of State and Madison as President. Madison was an American politician and one of the Founding Father of the United States. Considered to be the "Father of the Constitution", he was the principal author of the document. In 1788, he wrote over a third of the Federalist Papers, still the most influential commentary on the Constitution. Madison is also known as the "Father of the Bill of Rights", as he was responsible for the first ten amendments to the Constitution and drafted many basic laws. Sydney Howard Gay was an author and a journalist. Gay was an active abolitionist before and during the Civil War. He edited the Anti-Slavery Standard and Chicago Tribune and served on the editorial board of the Saturday Evening Post. 1 volume.................................................................$68.00 Item: 64935; ISBN: 978-0-8377-1667-1 Pages: xii, 346 pp. Originally Published: Boston; Houghton, Mifflin and Company; 1898.
