The Second War with England, Vol. 1 of 2
Headley, Joel Tyler
United States -- History -- War of 1812
"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._
