Edited by professor of history Donald R. Hickey and consultant Connie D. Clark, Citizen Hamilton: The Wit & Wisdom of an American Founder is an anthology of shining quotations and insights from one of the great figures of American history. Alexander Hamilton was a member of George Washington's staff during the American Revolution, the nation's first secretary of the treasury, and played a crucial role in the founding of America. Many of his vignettes of wisdom are timeless; each is classified under an alphabetical subject heading and features an attribution line listing when, where, or to whom it was said. Highly recommended simply for pleasurable browsing, as well as for serious study of Hamilton's wisdom and character. "A large and well organized Republic can scarcely lose its liberty from any other cause than that of anarchy, to which a contempt of the laws is the high road."
