Excerpt 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.
