A FEW TESTIMONIALS OF THE FIRST EDITION ARE GIVEN:

From Senator Sherman.

U. S. SENATE CHAMBER,

WASHINGTON, March 12, 1865. DEAR SI I have carefully examined your Political History of the Rebellion, and take great pleasure in commending its accuracy and completeness. You have condensed in a comparatively small space all the material political facts of the rebellion, and have provided a very good index: Your book is not only valuable as a convenient reference for dates and events, but as a substantial contribution to the history of our time Very truly, yours,

JOHN SHERMAN. Hon. EDWARD MCPHERSON.

From Representative Cox.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

WASHINGTON, February 10, 1865. MY DEAR SIR: Allow me to bear my testimony to the value of your political and historical compendium. I have had occasion to test its accuracy, and find that it is not only a great labor-saving manual, but a full and truthful account of the great causes and events connected with these wonderful years of our Republic. I trust that your research and care may be abun. dantly rewarded by a discerning public. With respect,

S. S. COX. Hon. EDWARD MCPHERSON. Hon. THOMAS D. ELIOT, in the Nero Bedford (Mans.) Mercury, of May, 1865: “It is the most exhaustive digest of political facts and Congressional action which has been prepared. It is an admirably condensed history, and an onlarged edition will find a cordial welcome.”

North American Rericw, January, 1865: “Of great value for reference and consultation, for it contains a vast mass of material, judiciously selected, compactly arranged, and conveniently classified, carefully printed, and provided with a lucid tablo of contents and a good indox. It will bo found a desirable, almost an indispensable, supplement to tho methodical histories of the Rebellion."

Harper's Magazine, Noveniber, 1867: “No one who has not occasion to use such a work for constant reference can appreciate the admirablo manner in which this has been executed."

American Literary Gazelle, October 1: “It is exceedingly difficult to give a correct idea of the great value of this book in anything short of an claborato review. * * The library, public or private, or the public man, who is without Mr. McPherson's history, will lack one of the most valuable and reliable sources of information."

New York Tribune, September 17: "It is beyond comparison tho fullest and most lucid compilation of propo sitions, votes, acts, &c., &c., in Congress, Military Orders, &c., &c., (Confederate as well as Union,) that was over made."

New York World, September 20: “A full, accurnto, and clear compilation.".

New York Times, October 10: "Wo Assnro all who have occasion to study the events of the current history of the country that they will find it a storehouso of information, which they canuot procure in so compact a form elsewhere."

New York Post, October 11: “It is erery way a work deserving of the warmest commendation, as being the most complete yet compact compilation of facts and locuments on tho subject of which it trents, that has yet appeared."

Philadelphia Isess, September 21:. “lle has shown not merely industry, but judgment and ability in collecting, condensing, and properly arranging his materials. • * Tho copious and exnct index makes the book invaluable, bocause niost rodily accessible for reference."

Philadelphia Age, September 21: “It is a completo synopsis of Federal and Confederate political history since 1860. No onestion or matter of importanco is omitted."

Philadelphia North American, September 22: “One of the most valuable political digests which bave been published in this country for a long time." Philadelphia Inquirer: “A copions, accurate, and valunble contribution to onr rational history."

Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch, September 25: “A work of reference which no politician nor citizen who desires to be well posted in the Affairs of the nation can do withont."

Philadelphia Ledger, Suptember 28: “ As a work of rrference and material for the future historian, it is in valuable." Philadelphia Evening 7-legruph, October 26 : “ No one who takes any interest in the great events which have

for four ycars convulsed onr land ehonld neglect to pornso with caro this really valuablo work."

Philadelphta Erening Bulletin, October 27: “It more than fulfils thu expectations that were raised concerning it. We must express onr admiration of the zenl, intelligence, and industry shown in the preparation of this work.”

Baltimore American, Scptember 26 : “Wo can hardly refer to another instanco of such successful condensation as this book cyhillit

It ruanirus no pufiny to attract purchasers."
