While writing this was interrupted bv
book agent who is canvassing for Grants
Memoirs, tho famous work which absorbed
40 much Of the Generals time and pro
longed his existence no doubt. The work
will be in two volumes, the frat to be de-
iivered in December and the second in
March; the cheapest edition, cloth, to be
81 80. It is necessary to take orders far
in advance of the publication, on which the
presses arc engaged in turning out an
enormous edition. l devote this space to
advertise it gratis for the reason that a per
centage of the sales will go to the Grant
family as species of national tribute. Your
readers ought, in consideration of the value
of the book as Il permanent addition to the
country's history, and the benevolent mis-
sion il is to serve, to refuse to purchase the
cheaper and often worthless prints that are
now being thrown upon the market by
spectators.
