“Vice President Wilson’s historical work is of the highest class of that literature to which it belongs, the class, that is to say is made up of histories produced by great actors in great events; and it is so in a very special sense.... Nothing could be better than his History, thus far. It is sound in sentiment, accurate in statement; strong in style and lucid in arrangement; and it is impartial in tone and honest in purpose. It is the only great work on the grand conflict that has been placed before the world.”—Boston Traveller.
“No one can study its pages without increasing both the order and the compass of his knowledge.”—N.Y. Tribune.
