Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Character of Peter Cooper Many a time during my somewhat prolonged author ship, have I been called on to portray the lives of the great and good with whose acquaintance and friendship I had been honored. But never have I responded to such a request with so much alacrity and cheerfulness, as when I was asked to pay some literary Tribute to my beloved friend, the late peter cooper. I knew him well for more than a quarter of a century, and my veneration and love for him grew with every year. And now, when some of the illusions of life have faded for me, and all of them for him, and I survey him robed in his fadeless garments beyond the tomb, I can not withhold from him the unbidden homage: Hail! Thou purest and noblest of men! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
