Excerpt from Reminiscences of Famous Georgians, Vol. 1: Embracing Episodes and Incidents in the Lives of the Great Men of the State The Georgia spirit is so active and vigorous, so curious and inquisitive, that by presenting a few episodes in the lives of the leading men, Mr. Knight may be said to have written not only a political but a social history of the State; and it is this feature that will commend it to all thoughtful students of the social organizations of the several States. On the other hand, the matter of the book is always so close to those elements of human nature that have a perennial interest and charm that it will appeal strongly to the general reader.

Excerpt from Reminiscences of Famous Georgians, Vol. 2: Embracing Episodes and Incidents in the Lives of the Great Men of the State, Also an Appendix Devoted to Extracts From Speeches and Addresses Volume II completes the work which the writer has devoted to the memories of Georgia's great men; and, in sheathing the reminiscent pen, he desires to make grateful acknowledgment of the public favor which has enabled him to conclude this labor of love. The shortcomings of the work can not be more apparent to the severest critic than they are to the author himself; but they exist in spite of the fact that the thought of financial profit has never once entered his head, and that he has persistently and firmly refused to commercialize the work by paying obsequious tribute to living Georgians whose ability to dine with Croesus does not entitle them to rank with Cicero. From cover to cover it has been inspired by the purest dictates of devotion to the commonwealth; and, if it touches at times upon the only issues which have ever estranged and divided Georgians, it breathes none of the bitterness of reconstruction.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
