Israel Potter: His Fifty Years of Exile

By: Melville, Herman

Biography, in its purer form, confined to the ended lives of the true and brave, may be held the fairest meed of human virtue-one given and re-ceived in entire disinterestedness-since neither can the biographer hope for acknowledgment from the subject, nor the subject at all avail him-self of the biographical distinction conferred.Israel Potter well merits the present tribute-a private of Bunker Hill, who for his faithful ser-vices was years ago promoted to a still deeper privacy under the ground, with a posthumous pension, in default of any during life, annually paid him by the spring in ever-new mosses and sward.
