Illustrated biography; or, Memoirs of the great and the good of all nations and all times; comprising sketches of eminent statesmen, philosophers, heroes, artists, reformers, philanthropists, mechanics, navigators, authors, poets, divines, soldiers, savans, etc . ansion, July 9, 1850, in the sixty-sixth year of his age. Public obsequieswere paid to his memory in all parts of the country. General Taylor endeared himself to the American people to a degree whichfew public men ever attained. The cause of this lay in the goodness of hisheart, and the exceeding sincerity of his character ; in his practical commonsense ; in his plain easy manners ; in a firmness that faced every danger andshunned no responsibility; and in a patriotism and sense of honor which admi-rably combined with the sturdy elements of his nature. Though not a states-man by genius or by education, he brought to the presidency a sound practicaljudgment, which enabled him almost intuitively to understand the questions thatwere brought before him, and to give as reliable opinions as those long versed inpolitical affairs. Among the names of the great and good men whom Americaowns as sons, few will be more warmly cherished or shine with more enduringlustre than that of ZACHARY Residence of Zachary Taylor, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 574 LORD BYRON.
