which is about to be published and
sold through agents BY the noted
house of Hubbard Bros, of Philabs.
Admirable biographies of Grant and
Sheridan, complete to the time OF
their death. are already familiar co
the public, but life of the third
great commander, to finish the series
has been lacking. The various BIZ
ographies of Sherman hitherto pub
lithed have necessarily been incom-
plete; and even his own memoirs,
written in 1875, said almost nothing
of his intensely interesting early life,
and not word, of the more than
twenty years of social activity and
fraternity with old comrades since
the war.
The work which is now to be is
sued will splendidly supply the wide.

great strategic commander. 1t is
