NEW YORK, July 1, l6So.-ln re-
sponse to numerous inquiries from All
sections of the country in regard to the
" Personal Memoirs of U. 8. GRAM"
we would say The work will be issued
in two volumes to be published sepa.
rately about the first days Of Decem ber
and MAJ ch next, respectively.
1t will be sold exclusively BY sub
scription and will not be found at the
book stores after the active canvass has
ceased, as 10 the case with many sub
scr iption books. Extraordinary pre-
caution is being taken to keep this
book out of the book trade. Private
marks are placed in each copy, and any
agent detected in supply ing the frat
volume to the book stores will be at
once discharged and prosecuted under
his contract and the second volume
will be delivered to the bona.hde sub
scribers by special deliverers appointed
by us. Some unprinciplei book sellers,
who cannot obtain the work, are ad
vertising it for sale and at reduced
price, thus attempting to rob General
Grant of portion of his hard-earned
profits, by reducing the price and dis
couraging our agents.
This is simply mischievous and
intended to embarrass our agents and
the subscription trade. In the END
| 1t can result in no profit to them
Other scheming publishers are advertis
| ing works whose titles are so ingenious
| ly arranged as TO rese BILE Genera
Grants, Memoirs, purposely withhold
| ing the author 'sname, and in yariovl
ways initiating that work with tb'
| evident inten tion of deceiving th'
public and inducing them to purchas
book that they dc not want-a wori
| with which General Grant had moth
| ing to do, and from which he derive
| no benefit whatever, and which work
have little more value than the pape
| upon which they are printed.
Such unprincipled publishers ant
| dealers deserve the execration Of thei
countrymen. They teek to snatch tn
| budding fruit Of hard earned toll from
the mi an, who, above all living men
has done so much for his countrymen
and who has worked so long and pa
tiertly, under trying circumstances, il
a last effort to supply competence II
his declining days, for himself ant
family--the only legacy he has to leav
them, except his name, which belong
10 his country.
Ii, ty any chance few copies of tn
tirst volume appear in the trade, tn
agent selling them will at once be de
tected and prosecuted, and people buy
ing that volume will not be able TO u
the second volume.
Our agents will not fill orders for th
I second volume except to those who sui
: scribe for the frat. We have decide
to manufacture only sufficient copies
] supply the orders of our subscribers, {
Z our agents report them from time
: time. In view of this, we hope ever
: one who desires the work will sn
Z scribe early.
Justice to both General Grant an
? ourselves demands this course, as IL
: profits must not be educed by lari
= stock of funsold volumes.
Nc one is authorized to take orde
q excepa our regularly appointed agen,
9 who are all supplied with sample bool
:, and certificates of appointment, al
Or dealer who advertise this work W
: sadly disappo Int their customers, esI
: cially IN the delivery of the second W
ume.
q We say to all who wish the compile
work promptly on the issue of the
g spective volumes, that the only way
= obtain it if TO subscribe with one of O
authorized agents. Yours respectful
