The Life of J.H. Choate Volume I

Excerpt from Introduction: The reader will promptly discover that this life of Mr. Choate is not so much a biography after the manner of Plutarch� as a compilation. The chief contributor, by far, is Mr. Choate himself, whose writings, public and private, make up four-fifths, or more, of the hook. His recollections of his boyhood and youth, with which the hook begins, were dictated by him during his convales�cence from a long illness in the early months of 1914. They stand very much as they came from his lips, for when the war came along it distracted his mind from them, and he neither went on with them nor revised what had been written.
