LIFE OF JOHN RANDOLPH

ID. Appleton d Co., 200 Broadtody Neio York
Have now ready the fourth edition.
T IFE OF JOHN RANDOLPH OF ROANOKE
IL BY Hugh A. Garland. Two volumes l2mo.
Portraits; 50 so.
Mr. Garland has given US a dagueUeo'ype of
character more eccentric and variable than Ura
nus itself, and withal, two volumes of exceedingly
choice historical reading. ~ Republic.
The biography Of Randolph has greater charm
than the most exciting fiction. "-Chariesfon .Mer-
curry
good life Of this remarkable man has,
been desired. Mr. Garland has furnished an ex
remely readable book; the two volumes not only
contain the history of his lfe and analysis of his
character, but an interesting account of the poll
tics and the public men of the day. ~ Crescent.
90 Since KenDedys life Of William Writ, we
have had no biography, certainly no American BIZ
ography, which will at all compare in interest with
this work. IT must be read by mulutudes with in
tense interest. III f-Nooark Daily Advertiser
g Mr.. Garland has made good use of his mate
rial, and has given a striking and accurate por-
traure OF the erratic end brilliant, subject of his
pen. ~ .htp Orleans Della
This book fills blank in the biographical mo-
tees Of distinguished Americans. The two vol
umes gives faithful account OF his whole ca
reer on analysis Of his celebrated speeches &c ~
philadelphia Enquirer.
GAS a biography, it is marked by drectness
and unity Of purpose, and by comprehe ess
and variety of manner. III Boston Post.
1T is one of the most interesting American BIZ
ographles with which we are acquainted. ~ Epe-
ming Post.
The work is written in on easy and beautiful
style, and is replete with striking passages The
author is Intimately acquainted with American
literature, and the great men who, at different
times, have played distinguished part in the
drama of the Republic. II forms valuable sdd-
uon to our national history ."-Demoerntie Rrpis'o
