In the biography of any ilmGrican statesman of the Revo-lutionary period, there can be no more interesting chapter than theone depicting his connecticn with the making of the Constitutionof the United States. To shov; that a irian v/as influential in thefederal Convention is almost enou h in itself to prove him great,while to show that he contributed some of the important parts ofour Constitution,is to put him in the front rank of all Americans,we cannot properly appreciate any man of the , nor can v/e give him proper recognition for his public ser-vices, until vie study his life in the light of his influence in themaking of the .\rjerican Oom:nonwealth. IIo man has been more neglected as to the part he play-ed in the ederal Convention than has ^iouverneur llorris. JaredSparks, nis first biogra-~her, writing in 1^U32, devoted gIx pagesof three volumes to a description of i^orris work
