LIFE OF DANIEL WEBSTER. By George Ticknor Curtis. Illustrated with Steel Portrait and Woodcuts. Two vols., 8vo. Cloth, $4.00; sheep, $6.00; half morocco, $10.00.
A most valuable and important contribution to the history of American parties and politics, and to the best class of our literature. It is a model biography of a most gifted man, wherein the intermingling of the statesman and lawyer with the husband, father, and friend, is painted so that we feel the reality of the picture.
"We believe the present work to be a most valuable and important contribution to the history of American parties and politics."—London Saturday Review.
"Of Mr. Curtis's labor we wish to record our opinion, in addition to what we have already said, that, in the writing of this book, he has made a most valuable contribution to the best class of our literature."—New York Tribune.
"This 'Life of Webster' is a monument to both subject and author, and one that will stand well the wear of time."—Boston Post.
"Mr. Curtis, it will be remembered, was one of the literary executors named by Mr. Webster, in his will, to do this work; and owing to the death of two of the others, Mr. Everett and President Felton, and the advanced age of Mr. Ticknor, Mr. Curtis has prepared the biography himself, and it has passed under Mr. Ticknor's revision. We believe the work will satisfy the wishes of Mr. Webster's most devoted friends."—Boston Journal.
THE LAST YEARS OF DANIEL WEBSTER. A MONOGRAPH. By George Ticknor Curtis. 8vo. Paper, 50 cents.
"Laying aside, so far as I may be able, the partiality of a friend and biographer, I shall subject to the scrutiny of reason and good sense the accusation that, in Mr. Webster's later years, for the sake of attaining the Presidency, by bidding for the political support of the Southern States, he renounced the principles which he had professed all his life on the subject of slavery."—The Author.
McCLELLAN'S LAST SERVICE TO THE REPUBLIC, together with a Tribute to his Memory. By George Ticknor Curtis. With a Map showing the Position of the Union and Confederate Forces on the Night of November 7, 1862. 12mo. Paper, 30 cents.
"Every statement of a fact, contained in these pages, which was not founded on General McClellan's official report of his campaigns, or derived from some other public source, was given to me by the General in the spring of 1880, and was written down by me at the time. At my request he superintended the preparation of the map which shows his position and that of the Confederate troops on the 7th and 8th of November, 1862, and compared it with the military maps issued by the Government after the close of the civil war."—From the Author's Prefatory Note.
