Book Description
Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Geo. Ashmun, of Mass., On the Mexican War: Delivered in the House of Representatives of the U. S., Feb. 4, 1847 But what good to us, if it does. 7 We shall neither gain national wealth, na tional strength, nor national honor. We shall gain the seeds of a thousand evils - internaljealousy and bickerings - and we shall gain the condemnation and shame of the world. History has no blacker page than that which records the. Partition of Poland among the st1onger powers aiound her., The plea that the. Safety of their institutions, the institutions of monarchy which made slaves of the r subjects, does not save them. That great crime has an undying fame. But, sir, if this plan of the dismemberment of the weak Republic upon our southern border is consummated, that crime will find its rival. The plea that our domestic institutions demand it, will find no favor, when the judgment of all civilized and Christian mankind, present and future, now and f01ever, comes to be made up! It 18 for such a 1va1, leading to such consequences, that we are now, in our chaiacter as Reptesentatives, called upon to vote supplies. T, reasure and human life-millions of dollais and thou sands of men - aie demanded of us, to be ex pended to accomplish such a result. And we are told that, without scruple, without complaint, it is our duty to grant this demand. We a1s told that now, after the war has been begun, the Executive is charged with full power ove1 its conduct and end, and that our duty, as good patriots, is to yield to his requests, and keep silence as to his usurpations. Sir, I hold to no such slavish doctrine. I deem it my duty to waist and denounce it, whenever and 11011 eve1 attempted to be enforced. The Chairman of Foreign Affairs (mr. Ingersoll) gave us the other day the official creed upon this subject 1n these words, viz. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
This bibliography of the Mexican War holdings of the libraries at the University of Texas at Arlington is the product of more than forty years' collecting and research. As a result of his recognition that Texana collections would be incomplete without items from the period up to the ratification of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo by Mexico in May, 1848, Jenkins Garrett began this bibliography in earnest in the 1950s, at a time when Mexican War items were not even listed as a separate category by collectors. Arranged by chapters according to topics or type of holding, the bibliography is designed to give extensive and accurate descriptive information of approximately 2,500 items of interest to scholars and collectors. Each entry thus includes full title page wording, edition information, collation, other library locations, and notes, though the bibliography is not annotated per se. Extensive appendixes present alternate methods of referencing documents and compilations of data that may prove helpful in studying the Mexican War.
