Illustrated with portraits, fac similes, etc.
Abraham Lincoln—The Man of the People

"A Life of Lincoln that has never been surpassed in vividness, compactness and lifelike reality,"—Chicago Tribune.

"Its depth, its clearness, its comprehensiveness, seem to me to mark the author as a genuine critic of the broader and the higher school."—Justin McCarthy.
George Washington
Half leather, $1.75 net; by mail, $1.90
"Mr. Hapgood may have done more brilliant or more entertaining work in other fields but we doubt if any of his previous work will take its place in permanent literature so certainly as this study of Washington."—Daily Eagle.
"Mr. Norman Hapgood's 'George Washington' is characterized by an unusual amount of judicious quotation, and also by many pages of graphic narrative and description. It has not been customary heretofore, in brief biographies of eminent men, to put the reader so closely in touch with the sources of history. In this case, however, the method adopted by Mr. Hapgood has not only greatly enhanced the historical value of his work, but has at the same time added to its intrinsic interest."—Review of Reviews.
