EDWARD ROWLAND.

In the preparation of this work the greateet
has been taken to fully satisfy the public in regard
to Gen. Grants opinions the leading questions of
the day, and to present such analysis OF his ele
mentary character as to demonstrate what the public
may rely upon in General Grant, whatever compca-
tons our National affairs may hereafter assume,
while he holds important position mong the chief
executive forces of the country.
The siynce reticence of Gen. Grant. heretofore,
and which has been subject of so much comment.
and, not unrequently uncalled for curiosity, will be
found thoroughly explained upon the score of the
most statesman-lik prudence and wisdom.
Gen. Grant belongs to that class of great men
whose eloquence is expressed according to the De-
mosthenic definition of faction! action !! action !! p
rather than in words, but he is not found wanting in
vigorous power with the pen in the elegancies of
compact and emphatic style Of uterance 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 are apt to
be overlooked, their silence is msinteTpreted. 1t
is desirable, therefore, that rejecting people-they
upon whose shoulders, more than upon any others,
sthe dignity and safety of the Republic after all de-
pend,' should withdraw from the turmoil, long
enough at least to study and judge what may be
pected in the future from such General Grant
whom devices of demagogues, wiles of opposing
statesmen, depose from popular exaltation. 1t
becomes then the duty, it will be the pleasure of
such to thoroughly study him. a
OF the number of works in the form of biography,
ETC., with which the public supplied, regarding
General Grant confidently believe this win be
found the most acceptable, thorough and reliable 1t
is written from the highest standpoint CT biographical
inquiry and representation, and must take its place
among the classic literature of the land.
