EDWARD ROWLAND.

In the preparation of this work the greateet
has been taken to fully satisfy the public in regard
to Gen. Grants opinions on the leading questions of
the day, and to present such analysis of his ele
mentary character to demonstrate what the public
may rely upon in General Grant, whatever complica-
tons our National affairs may hereafter assume
while he holds important position among the chief
executive forces of the country.
The silence reticence of Gen. Grant, heretofore
and which has been subject of so much comment,
and unfrequently, uncalled for curiosity, will be
found thoroughly explained upon the score of the
most statesman like prudence and wisdom.
Gen. Grant belongs to that class of great men
whose eloquence is expressed according to the De-
mosthenc definition Of faction! action! action J"
rather than in words, but he is found wanting in
vigorous power with the pen in the eegancies Of
compact and emphatic style Of utterance in language
| In the general hubbub of politics when the small
men and demagogues each and all forcing oppor-
tuntes to express their views, the silent men who
speak only when necessity commands, and apt to
be overlooked, their silence is misinterpreted. 1t
| is desirable, therefore, that rejecting people-they
1 upon whose shoulders, more than upon any others,
he dignity and safety of the Republic after all de-
| pend" should withdraw from the turmoil, long
enoug h least to study and Judge what may be
pected in the from such General Grant,
whom devices of demagogues. wiles of opposing
becomes then the duty, it will be the pleasure of
such to thoroughly study him. +4f : zagge,t
of the number of works in the form of biography,
etc with w hich the public supplied, regarding
/ General Grant, We confidently believe this will be
found the most acceptable, thorough and reliable. 1t
written from the highest standpoint of biographical
inquiry and representation, and must take its place
among the classic literature OF the land.
