used an exemplary diligence in tho collection Of
materials, and has arranged and combined them
with rare constructive ability in one Of the most
beautiful ard attractive biographical compositions
of the day. With no parade Of misunderstanding,
10 has placed tho personality of Mr.. Prescott in q
bright and charming light, presenting liberal ex-
tracts from his correspondence and journals, fresh
"reminiscences Of his conversation, and details OF hs
everyday life, which seem to bring the reader
almost into the sphere Of familiar acquaintance
with the historian while they inspire the deepest
admiration and love Of his genial nature and his
noble endowmente.--The volume has been rarely
perhaps never, surpassed as specimen Of elegant
typography by any production Of the American
press.
