Newman, Eugene William. (Savoyard, pseud.). Essays on men, things, and events, historical, personal, political. $2. Neale.
The sub-title includes the following list of men, who with associated events, “historical, personal, political,” are considered in this volume: Roscoe Conklin, Thaddeus Stevens, Matthew H. Carpenter, Andrew Johnson, John J. Ingalls, Seargent S. Prentiss, Oliver P. Morton, Lucius Q. C. Lamar, Samuel J. Tilden. The family of Field, Marcus A. Hanna, Thomas B. Reed, Benjamin H. Hill, George F. Hoar, Frank Wolford, Stephen A. Douglass and Thomas C. Platt.
“The form on the other hand is very old-fashioned, with much embroidery of classical and Biblical allusion and a generous supply of adjectives of heroic size. Altogether people interested in men and politics, whatever their individual bias, can hardly fail to derive entertainment from Mr. Newman’s essays.”
