"A good life of this remarkable man has n
oeeh DESIRED. Mr.. Garland has furnished an ex
treniely readable book; the two volumes not onlv
contain the history of bis life, and analysis of h..
character, but an interesting account of the poll
tics and the public men of the day. ~ Crescent.
Since kennedy's life of William Writ, we
have had no biography, certainly no American BIZ
ography, which will at all compare in interest with
this work. IL must be read by muItitudes with in
