BIGELOW’S LIFE OF TILDEN
The Life of Samuel J. Tilden. By John Bigelow, Author of “Life of Benjamin Franklin,” “France and the Confederate Navy,” Editor of “Writings and Speeches of Samuel J. Tilden,” etc. With Portraits and Illustrations. Two Volumes. 8vo, Cloth, Uncut Edges and Gilt Tops, $6 00. (In a Box.)
A complete and vivid portrait of a memorable figure in the public life of the Empire commonwealth and of the nation, and also materials of great value for the political history of the country during the momentous period that intervened between 1830 and 1880.—N. Y. Sun.
Mr. Bigelow’s long and close intimacy with Tilden, and his own large experience in politics and in authorship, made him naturally the literary executor of his friend, as he was a trustee of his estate. The resulting biography, now before us, has an assured historical value, corresponding to the importance of Mr. Tilden’s career.—Nation, N. Y.
Intensely interesting, because they deal with things that are common to the knowledge of all Americans who have followed the progress of the events of the last twenty-five years.—N. Y. Herald.
The author has acquitted himself of his trust with rare skill, judgment, and delicacy; and while there is never absent from the pages of this memoir a distinct appreciation of the character and achievements of its subject, it is happily free from the suggestion of fulsome eulogism.—Philadelphia Press.
