EDWARD ROWLAND.

In the preparation Of this work the greascet care
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 to demonstrate what the public
rely upon in General Grant, whatever complica-
! tons our National affairs may hereafter assume,
while he holds an important position among the chief
! executive forces of the country. @A&EltIA Ef.
The silence reticence of Gen. Grant. heretofore,
| and which has been subject of so much comment,
and, not unrequenty, uncailed for curiosity, will be
found thoroughly explained upon the score of the
/ most statesman-ke prudence and wisdom. ~t
Gen. Grant belongs to that class of great men
whose eloquence is expressed according to the De-
mosthenic definition of "action! action!! action ?!
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 are each and all forcing oppor
tuntes to express their views" the silent who
speak only when necessity commands, and apt to
be overlooked, or their silence is misnerpreted. 1t
is desirable, therefore, that rejecting people-they
l. upon whose shoulders, more than upon any others,
the 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 men as General Grant,
whom no devices of demagogues, or wes Of opposing
becomes then the duty, it will be the pleasure of
such to thoroughly study him. p ga l
Of the number of works in the form of biography,
ETC., with which the public are supplied regarding
General Grant, confidently believe this will be
found the most acceptable, thorough and reliable 1t
is written from the highest standpoint of biographical
inquiry and representation, and must take its place
among the classic literature of the land. -t ft
