graphy yet written of the great
President."--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._

"Mr. White claims that, as a portraiture of the man Lincoln, Mr.
Herndon's work 'will never be surpassed.' Certainly it has never
been equaled yet, and this new edition is all that could be
desired."--_New York Observer._

"The three portraits of Lincoln are the best that exist; and not the
least characteristic of these, the Lincoln of the Douglas debates,
has never before been engraved.... Herndon's narrative gives, as
nothing else is likely to give, the material from which we may form
a true picture of the man from infancy to maturity,"--_The Nation._

_APPLETONS' CYCLOPAEDIA OF AMERICAN BIOGRAPHY_. Complete in six
volumes, royal 8vo, containing about 800 pages each. With sixty-one
fine steel portraits and some two thousand smaller vignette portraits
and views of birthplaces, residences, statues, etc.

APPLETONS' CYCLOPAEDIA OF AMERICAN BIOGRAPHY, edited by General JAMES
GRANT WILSON, President of the New York Genealogical and Biographical
Society, and Professor JOHN FISKE, formerly of Harvard University,
assisted by over two hundred special contributors, contains a
biographical sketch of every person eminent in American civil and
military history, in law and politics, in divinity, in literature and
art, in science and in invention. Its plan embraces all the countries
of North and South America, and includes distinguished persons born
abroad, but related to American history. As events are always
connected with persons, it affords a complete compendium of American
history in every branch of human achievement. An exhaustive topical
and analytical Index enables the reader to follow the history of any
subject with great readiness.

"It is the most complete work that exists on the subject. The tone
and guiding spirit of the book are certainly very fair, and show a
mind bent on a discriminate, just, and proper treatment of its
subject."--_From the_ Hon. GEORGE BANCROFT.

"The portraits are remarkably good. To anyone interested in
American history or literature, the Cyclopaedia will be
indispensable."--_From the_ Hon. JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

"The selection of names seems to be liberal and just. The portraits,
so far as I can judge, are faithful, and the biographies
trustworthy."--_From_ NOAH PORTER, D.D., LL.D.,
_ex-President of Yale College_.

"A most valuable and interesting work."--_From the_ Hon
