Parton's Lie of Greeley

One of the most interesting and val
uable of American biographies, is the
'Life of Horace Greeley" by James
Parton. The life of Mr.. Greeley has
been closely interviewer with what has
been most commanding in American
affairs for more than third of CEN
tury. Indeed, this story of his life
gives the reader by DO means an inade-
quate glimpse of American history for
the pas6 thirty years. It is the story of
a life that commenced in the greatest
.obscarity, and has grown into the great
est eminence. 1t has been busy life,
the busiest, probably, in the land, crow
ded with events full of brave words
and generous deeds, and marked by
pecUlialities greater and characteristics
stronger than, perhaps, those Of any
other American citizen.
The subject, therefore, would COM
mand respectful and eager attention,
though handled by an unskillful pen.
But MIR. Parton is master. He has
long been well and widely known in
our literature. He is a keen and bril-
liant esSayist: an incisive and sparkling
writer of English, and careful and eS-
haustive searcher after facts. He does
not touch pen to paper in the conlDo-
sition Of book, till the entire field OF
investigation has been explored. and
everything directly or indirectly bear
ing on his theme thoroughly digested.
In preparing this work, he spent sew
eral months in visiting the town where
MIR. Greeley was born and the various
places where he subsequently, lived.
collecting all the information about his
early life that if was possible to obtain.
1t is not, therefore, hastily or illy con-
trived book, labeled Life of Greeley. -
but work which will always be the
authoritative recordTTof the three-score
years of Mr.. Greeley's life that have
already passed into history. 1t would
be valuable addition to any library at
any time. but, just now, its opportune-
ness gives it added interest.
1t is elegantly bound, well illUstrat-
ed; and in consideration of the great
popular demand for the work it is sold
for little more than half the ruling
book prices.
It is published By the NATIONAL
PUBLISHING CO., of Cincinnati,
who want agents in every County.
