Edited by Gen. JAMES GRANT WILSON. With 23 Steel Portraits, facsimile Letters, and other Illustra- tions. 8vo. Cloth, $3.50.
"A book which every one should read over and over again. ... We have care. fully run through it, and laid it down with the feeling that some such book ought to find its way into every household."-New York Herald.
"A monumental volume, which no American who cares for the memory of the pub. lic men of his country can afford to be without."-New York Mail and Express.
"Just the sort of book that the American who wishes to fix in his mind the varying phases of his country's history as it is woven on the warp of the administrations will find most useful. Everything is presented in a clear-cut way, and no pleasanter excursions into history can be found than a study of 'The Presidents of the United States.'"-Philadelphia Press.
"A valuable addition to both our biographical and historical literature, and meets a want long recognized."-Boston Advertiser.
"So scholarly and entertaining a presidential biography has never before appeared in this country. . . . It is bound to become the standard of its kind.”—Binghamton Herald.
"It is precisely the book which ought to have a very wide sale in this country-a book which one needs to own rather than to read and lay aside. No common-school library or collection of books for young readers should be without it."-The Church
"General Wilson has performed a public service in presenting this volume to the public in so attractive a shape. It is full of incentive to ambitious youth; it abounds in encouragement to every patriotic heart."-Charleston News and Courier.
"There is an added value to this volume because of the fact that the story of the life of each occupant of the White House was written by one who made a special study of him and his times.. ... An admirable history for the young."-Chicago Times.
"Such a work as this can not fail to appeal to the pride of patriotic Americans."— Chicago Dial.
"These names are in themselves sufficient to guarantee adequacy of treatment and interest in the presentation, and it is safe to say that such succinct biographies of the complete portrait gallery of our Presidents, written with such unquestioned ability, have never before been published."-Hartford Courant.
"A book well worth owning, for reading and for reference. . . . A complete record of the most important events in our history during the past one hundred and five years." -The Outlook.
