_MORRIS._ Mr. Roosevelt has produced an animated and intensely interesting biographical volume.... Mr. Roosevelt never loses sight of the picturesque background of politics, war-governments, and diplomacy.--_Magazine of American History_ (New York). _JAY._ It is an important addition to the admirable series of "American Statesmen," and elevates yet higher the character of a man whom all American patriots most delight to honor.--_New York Tribune._ _MARSHALL._ Well done, with simplicity, clearness, precision, and judgment, and in a spirit of moderation and equity. A valuable addition to the series.--_New York Tribune._ _JEFFERSON._ A singularly just, well-proportioned, and interesting sketch of the personal and political career of the author of the Declaration of Independence.--_Boston Journal._ _MADISON._ The execution of the work deserves the highest praise. It is very readable, in a bright and vigorous style, and is marked by unity and consecutiveness of plan.--_The Nation_ (New York). _GALLATIN._ It is one of the most carefully prepared of these very valuable volumes, ... abounding in information not so readily accessible as is that pertaining to men more often treated by the biographer.--_Boston Correspondent Hartford Courant._ _MONROE._ President Gilman has made the most of his hero, without the least hero-worship, and has done full justice to Mr. Monroe's "relations to the public service during half a century." ... The appendix is peculiarly valuable for its synopsis of Monroe's Presidential Messages, and its extensive Bibliography of Monroe and the Monroe Doctrine.--_N. Y. Christian Intelligencer._ _JOHN QUINCY ADAMS._ That Mr. Morse's conclusions will in the main be those of posterity we have very little doubt, and he has set an admirable example to his coadjutors in respect of interesting narrative, just proportion, and judicial candor.--_New York Evening Post._ _RANDOLPH._ The book has been to me intensely interesting.... It is rich in new facts and side lights, and is worthy of its place in the already brilliant series of monographs on American Statesmen.--Prof. MOSES COIT TYLER. _JACKSON._ Professor Sumner has ... all in all, made the justest long estimate of Jackson that has had itself put between the covers of a book.--_New York Times._ _VAN BUREN._ This absorbing book.... To give any adequate idea of the personal interest of the book, or its intimate bearing on nearly the whole course of our political history, would be equivalent to quoting the larger part of it.--_Brooklyn Eagle._ _CLAY._ We have in this life of Henry Clay a biography of one of the most distinguished of American statesmen, and a political history of the United States for the first half of the nineteenth century. Indeed, it is not too much to say that, for the period covered, we have no other book which equals or begins to equal this life of Henry Clay as an introduction to the study of American politics.--_Political Science Quarterly_ (New York).
