Alexander Hamilton, And, Robert Fulton (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Alexander Hamilton, And, Robert Fulton

On page 102 I have stated the propositions about the relation of the man to his work, which seem to me to give the clew to Hamilton's career.

Hamilton's work went to the making of the Ameri can State, but personally he may be said to have failed; for when death overtook him he had no poli tical future, and could have had none, unless he could have readjusted himself entirely to the conditions of American public life. On pages 2 38, 241, 244, and 245 I have tried to show why this was so.
