"Mr. Headley's peculiarities as an author are universally known. He is one of the most vigorous and spirit-stirring writers of the day, especially graphic and powerful in narratives of exciting events. No one can fail to get from his descriptions most graphic, vivid, and lasting impressions of the scenes of which he speaks."—N. Y. Courier and Enquirer.
"His descriptions are graphic, his history correct, and his summing up character scarcely suffers by a comparison with similar pages in Tacitus."—N. Y. Evening Post.
"He speaks heartily, earnestly, truthfully; and the warm heart answers to his voice."—N. Y. Observer.
"Each one of his Biographies is a grand historical picture, conveying in a most impressive way, a true idea of the events of the time."—Cincinnati Herald.
"Mr. Headley is truly eloquent in his description of character. He presents to you the strong points of the man with a clearness that seems to place him before you as an old acquaintance."—Cleveland Herald.
"Whatever critics may choose to say, Mr. H. will never lack readers. The stir and fire of his descriptions will touch a popular chord. In describing the battle field and the tumultuous stirring life of the camp, Mr. H. is what Cooper was upon the Sea."—N. Y. Evangelist.
LIVING ORATORS OF AMERICA. By Rev. E. L. Magoon 1 vol. 12mo., with portraits. Price, $1.25.
THE ORATORS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. By Rev. E. L. Magoon. 1 vol. 12mo., with portraits. Price, $1.25.
Mr. Magoon is a decided original. Both his thoughts and his manner of expressing them, are peculiar and striking.—N. Y. Evangelist.
Mr. Magoon, who is a vivid, nervous writer, has thrown a charm around the character of the men whose history he has delineated, that will cause the book to be read with unusual interest.—Christian Secretary.
These volumes contain exceedingly clear sketches of our greatest orators; so arranged, contrasted and compared, that the peculiar powers and excellencies of each are set before the mind in a strong light.—Springfield Republican.
Every American will read these works with national pride, and have his better feelings and sentiments enkindled and strengthened.—Western Literary Messenger.
THE WOMEN OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. By Mrs. E. F. Ellet. 3 vols. 12mo., with portraits. Price, $3.50.
The work fills a place in our Revolutionary history that would scarcely be complete without it; indeed, we consider it as one of the most valuable contributions that have been made to the history of our country in a long time.—Hunt's Magazine.
We counsel especially the young women of our country to lay aside their novels, at least until they shall have read "The Women of the Revolution." Those of them who have souls will find it replete with interest and instruction.—N. Y. Tribune.
The narratives are brief, spirited, and profoundly interesting; especially as showing how the toils, the privations and dangers of the war, made themselves felt, perhaps even more keenly, in the homes than on the battle-fields of the Revolutionary champions.—N. Y. Commercial.
The authoress has succeeded in collecting a large amount of new and important facts, illustrative of the heroism evinced in action and suffering, by the women who bore their part in the Revolution, which have no place in the political histories of the time, and have been derived almost entirely from private sources.—N. Y. Journal of Commerce.
The rich store of information contained in these volumes, has been procured at the cost of much and laborious research, from the surviving relatives of the heroines, scattered through various parts of the Union. Personal recollections have been recorded, family papers and letters examined, and the work thus made a faithful and vivid exhibition of the domestic scenes of the war.—Charleston Inquirer.
The conception of the book is at once beautiful and patriotic, and its execution is worthy of its subject, and worthy of the reputation of its gifted authoress.—Albany Atlas.
These sketches are of thrilling interest, as we gather from a hasty glance at their pages. The narrative is clear, concise, and very agreeably written.—N. B. Mercury.
