About this book
Memoir of Jared Sparks, LL.D is by Brantz Mayer, president of the Maryland Historical Society, and was prepared at the request of the society. The memoir was read before the annual meeting on Thursday evening, February 7, 1867. Jared Sparks was born in Willington, Connecticut, on the 10th of May, 1789, the son of Joseph and Eleanor Orcutt Sparks, and the memoir says the dawn of his life was overshadowed by poverty.
The memoir says ten of these busy years went to the Life and Writings of Washington, given to the world volume by volume between 1834 and 1837 in twelve stout octavos. In 1840 appeared the other great national book, the Life and Works of Franklin, in ten massive octavos. The memoir says the career of its subject was charmingly rounded by honor, prosperity, and the love of mankind.
