St. Cloud Democrat. [volume] (Saint Cloud, Stearns County, Minn.) 1858-1866, 1863-10-08


The above work, on the score, of connpt.t-
| zeal style of composition, challenges COMPARE
son and invites the. severest criticism.
The Authors powers seem to have been
fully equal to the successful accomplishment
| OF the herculean task undertaken;
AS Record of the stupendous Military and
Naval Features Of the Rebellion, it will be
found all that could be desired-full authen-
tic and giaphic-leaving nothing unsaid which
is necessary to repder it the best and most
satisfactory history of the War for the Union
which will be presented for the patronage of
the American people.
Each volume contains more letter-press than
any two volumes of other profcssed *thisto-
ries' now offered to the public, and as much
matter as six ordinary dollar books.
The work is approved by the President and
Thaddeus Stevens, Henry Wilson, Bancroft
the historian, &c.
Wcappend the opinions of few leading CIV
ilians and journals of the merits of the work:
En- Gov. E. D. Morgan, Of N.r York, says:
cit is gratifying to know that competent
hands have undertaken tho delicate task Of
separating the true historical material from
the immense mass of printed matter which
now finds its way through thousand chan
nels to the public, and presenting It in con-
nected form convenient for reference. Your
publication, it seems to me, unites this with
many other excelleneies.''
Coz. John 4. Andrew, Of Massachusetts, .s1r;tcs
"Such a condens ation of facts, and presen-
tatlon OF Official Documents, relating to the
present war, cannot fail to be of great present
interest and utility, and in future years will
be invaluable to all who will wish 70 study the
details of the great Conspiracy against Con-
stitutional Liberty and the Rig is Of Mankind"
Cor. Curtin, Of Pennsylvania, says of "71e
History Of the S6ulherN RtCellion :"
II am very much pleased. with its general
plan, and the style Of its publication.'''
Hon. JoA, Sherman, of ONO, remdrks:
''iour work has already beef 81 great SER
vice to me as a text book for dates Of impor.
tant events. Your historical summary is alone
worth more than the whole cost of your book.

refer to it to revive his recollection

The Nea' IIort Post says,
''Fhis history is all oraerf3, Consecutive and
lucid narration Of facts; contemporary histo-
ry in fact, instead Of chronicle: Tho Author
carefully casts out every doubtful rumor, gives
only facts, we'll ascertaned to be such, and
seems to have command of documentary ev-
!dence which must make the work very valu-
able
The Boston Daily Transcript adds:
This work has established its reputation
as an invaluable record Of the most important
era in our national history"
