Separately they are interesting and entertaining biographies of our most eminent public men; as a series they are especially remarkable as constituting a history of American politics and policies more complete and more useful for instruction and reference than any that I am aware of.—Hon. John W. Griggs, Ex-United States Attorney-General.

SECOND SERIES

Biographies of men particularly influential in the recent Political History of the nation. Each volume, with portrait, 12mo, $1.25 net; postage 12 cents.

This second series is intended to supplement the original list of American Statesmen by the addition of the names of men who have helped to make the history of the United States since the Civil War.

Other interesting additions to the list to be made in the future.
