from Biographical Notice of Edward Livingston, Read Before the American Philosophical Society

Among the statesmen on whom the American people have con ferred their honours with a just discrimination, no one has endea voured with more consistent anxiety than Edward Livingston, to promote their welfare, by an application of the lights of moral and intellectual experience and truth, to their social and political institu tions.
With a mind, clear, penetrating and sagacious with an industry that left unfinished no duty that he undertook there were blended from his earliest youth, serenity of temper, simplicity and cheerfulness of manners, an active benevolence, a clear, strong sense of right, a desire to promote in all things the

good of others, and a willingness to forego his own interest and inclinations: so that in the relations of an advocate, a jurist, a legislator, and a statesman, he filled his part not more for his own enduring reputation, than for the benefit of those he served.
