First sentence: IF great achievements, important public services, and a life devoted to conferring benefits on his country and race, can render the biography of a living man, interesting to his cotemporaries,-if modest reluctance to trumpet his own fame, or even vindicate himself from injustice or detraction, impose on his friends an obligation to perform that duty for him,-then we need offer no apology for this sketch of the life used services of Commodore Stockton.
