OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"No other Life OF Jefferson ever published
probably none that ever UiU be published
can bear any comparison to this in tho
roughness, funess of incident and conscien-
tious fidelity. = This biography
has evidently been labor of love, and tho
years of patient, assiiuous toll it has cost,
have been given with ungrudging, untiring
enthusiasm. ~. Y. Tribune.
"At length the public have Life of Tho
mas Jefferson that is not only fascinating,
and therefore sure to be popular, but one tina t
will stand the essential historic test--:hat of
accuracy and truthfuIness. 1t is seen that
the groundwork of the whole is authentic
contemporary material, and of the highest
order. To gather it has been the work OF
years. We would not compare this volume
with that inimitable and incompatible biog-
raphy of Boswell, and yet so faithful is the
portralture that Jefferson is made to draw OF
himself that his nature, his very soul, is de-
lineated with a distinctness not unlike that
in which Johnson stands out in the pages OF
Boswell. .'-BOston Post.
"lmbued with that enthusiastic admira ton
of his subject, without which biographer is
rarely successful, Mr.. Randall nevertheless
does not seek to hide whatever faults he ma
find, either from himself or from the reader.
He paints the picture as Cromwell insisted
his should be painted, "warts and ALL" The
picture gains by this in life-like ooloring,
without losing any o: its majestic proper
tons. ALBANY Eue. Jour-

ally, over this work, will fail to be satisfied
that Mr.. Randall has added very largely to
the stock of the worlds information about

more than was ever done by any one before
him to illustrate the personality of that great
s,atesman."--N. Y. Eue. Post.
1--WE have read with delight Mr.. Randall
captivating details Of Mr.. Jeferson's personal
history, which he has sedulousy gathered,
and admirably grouped together, from great
variety OF authentic sources, hitherto unex.
plored. Out of the tempting richness of his
ma materals, the able and clear-sighted author
has constructed a book, at once most enter
timing and lnstructiye-one that should be
studied by every patriot of the land.-Rich-
mOnd Enquirer.
There Can be only one opinion as to the
ability, general impariiality and industry
which Mr. Randall has brought into combin-

palllates. exaggerates, nor dlstorts, but ap-
proaches. in every instance, and in every
particular, the career of the noble character

the domestic and foreign policy of the nation
