The Signers to the Declaration of Independence - Collected Biographies - John Hancock, Samuel Adams, John Adams, Robert Treat Paine, Lewis Morris, Richard Stockton...

The venerated emigrants who first planted America, and most of their distinguished successors who laid the foundation of our civil liberty, have found a resting place in the peaceful grave. But the virtues which adorned both these generations; their patience in days of suffering; the courage and patriotic zeal with which they asserted their rights; and the wisdom they displayed in laying the foundations of our government; will be held in lasting remembrance.
