LIFE OF JOHN RANDOLPH

ID. Appleton d Co., 200 Broad,cay Neao York
Have now ready the fourth edition.
r IFE OF HNRANDOLPHO OF ROA NOKE
Ii BY Hugh A. Garland. Two volumes I2mo.
Portraits; 50 so.
Mr.. Garland has given us a dskuerrc~'ype of
character more eccentric and variable than IRA
nus ITSELF and withal, two volumes Of exceedingly
choice historical reading. ~ Republic.
The biography Of Randolph has greater charms
than the most exciting fiction. - Charleston .Mer-
cuy
"a good life of this remarkable man has long
been desired. MIR. Garland has furnished an ex.
tremely readable book; the two volumes not onlv
contain the history of his life, and analysis of his
character, but an interesting account Of the poli.
tics and the public men Of the day. ~ Crescent.
" Since Kennedy's life of William Writ. we
have had no biography, certainly no American b.
ography, which will at all compare in interest with
this work. IL must be read by multi,udes with in
tense interest. ~ .Ne,oark Dailu .9dreriiser.
Mr.. Garland has made good use of his mate
rial, and has given striking and accurate por-
traiture Of the erratic and brilliant subject Of his
pen. - .New Orleans Delta
This book fills a blank in the biographical no
tees Of distinguished Americans. The two vol
umes gives us faithful account Of his whole ca
reer, an analysis Of his celebrated speeches, &c. {"
Philadelphia Enquirer.
CAS- biography, IL is marked by directness
and unity of purpose, and by compreheDsiveness
and variety of manner. ~ Boston Post
cit is one of the most interesting American BIZ
ogrophies with which we are acquainted ~ Epe-
ming Posi-.
"Ihe work is written in an easy and beautiful
style, and IS repets with striking passages. The
author is Intimately acquainted with American
literature, and the great men who, ut different
times, have played distinguished part in the
drama of the Republic II forms valuable addi-
ton to our national history. Democratic R,rieo.
