    About this ebook

    Eva March Tappan's “A Friend in the Library” series is a comprehensive guide to the writings of six seminal American writers, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, James Russell Lowell, John Greenleaf Whittier, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. This volume deals specifically with the ideas of history and biography, exploring the examples of both present in the work of these great American poets. This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in the American poetry and colonial history. Eva March Tappan (1854 – 1930) was an American author and teacher. Other notable works by this author include: “Adventures & Achievements” (1900), “Poems & Rhymes” (1900), and “In the Days of Queen Elizabeth” (1902). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author. This book was first published in 1909.

      HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY, II

      THE course of the government of the United States did not run very smoothly during the first years after the close of the Revolution. The states were so afraid that somebody would interfere with their liberty that they came near having no general government at all. Congress met, passed laws, and imposed taxes; but if the states did not choose to obey the laws and pay the taxes, they followed their own sweet will, and no one could oblige them to do otherwise. They were jealous of one another, and every state looked out for its rights almost as if the others had been foreign countries and enemies. Indeed, so far as opportunity for acquaintance with one another went, they might almost as well have been thousands of miles apart.
