A Biography Fifty Years After
By OSWALD GARRISON VILLARD
THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON
“I can only say after reading from first to last its more than 700 pages that I have never encountered anything this side of Gibbon’s ‘Rome’ which has made me feel more the personal power of a single work.”
JOHN T. MORSE, Editor of American Statesman Series.
“Perhaps in thus dramatically fashioning his volume Mr. Villard obeyed an instinct rather than acted upon a preconceived plan; that is often the case with great work, where a writer’s feelings are deeply enlisted. Be this as it may, the merit and charm are none the less: he has seized well a splendid opportunity and has written one of the great biographies of our literature.”
HENRY WATTERSON In the Louisville “Courier-Journal”
“No fault may justly be found with Mr. Villard’s telling of the story. It is minute and lucid, altogether fair and unvarnished.”
