Patrick Henry. By Moses Coit Tyler.

"Mr. Schurz's work is the result not only of careful research, but of thorough mastery and due consideration of the results of research, and in his biography of Clay we have both a singularly just and sympathetic estimate of the man, and a lucid and comprehensive summary of the political movement of the half-century. The simplicity of the style is admirable, and the tone of treatment, which is in no sense merely eulogistic, but perfectly appreciative and candid, gives a sincerity to the book which at once commands the entire confidence of the reader."-Harper's Weekly.

Hon. Robert C. Winthrop, writes to Professor Tyler: "I have just finished reading your 'Patrick Henry,' and I cannot forbear thanking you for the pleasure and instruction you have afforded me. It is an admirable biography of an admirable man."

The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle says: "Of the method, vivacity, and style of this biography we cannot speak in terms too commendatory. The narrative is, while concise, as befits its limitations, orderly and symmetrical, with sufficient stress upon salient points, such as the case of the parsons and the electric defiance of the throne, and yet not losing sight of the more ordinary events which serve to reveal the consistent patriotism of Patrick Henry. There is an ease of movement and. at times. a picturesqueness of effect which never allows the interest to flag, and there are touches of wit and bits of description which give the pages a freshness and sprightliness that they might not otherwise possess. The work is at once a sober historical study and a fascinating story. The literary quality is, we need not say, sustained throughout."

Each vol., 16mo, gilt top, $1.25.
