Informationen zum Autor David M. Gold is an attorney with the Ohio Legislative Service Commission. He received his law degree and doctorate in history at The Ohio State University and is the author of The Shaping of Nineteenth-Century Law: John Appleton and Responsible Individualism. Klappentext An Exemplary Whig examines the life and thought of Edward Kent, a nineteenth-century state political leader and judge and Maine's quintessential Whig. It reveals Kent's characteristically conservative Whig aversion toward disorder and his deep respect for law, existing institutions, and the wisdom of experience. David Gold shows how Kent carried the Whig persuasion into the Republican ascendancy and the beginnings of the Gilded Age. Inhaltsverzeichnis Acknowledgments Note on Citations Introduction Chapter 1.
