Summary "Albert Gallatin" by John Austin Stevens is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life and contributions of Albert Gallatin, an influential figure in early American politics, known for his roles in legislation, administration, and finance. It delves into his impact on pivotal issues such as the Monroe Doctrine and his advocacy against a national debt and paper currency. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces Gallatin's background, highlighting his early life in Geneva and his subsequent move to America in pursuit of personal freedom and political ideals. The opening chapters outline Gallatin's education, philosophical leanings, and the philosophical and political environment of his time. It illustrates his evolution from a young European immigrant eager to escape the confines of conservative society to a key participant in shaping the democratic principles of the nascent United States, setting the stage for his later significant political influence.
