The article presents an overview of the book "Burrows of Michigan and the Republican Party," by William Dana Orcutt. The author has made a wise choice of a title, for the life of Julius Caesar Burrows, considered by itself and apart from his political affiliations and activities, contained too little that was distinctive to furnish material for a biography of the ordinary sort. In the household Burrows heard the slavery question and related public issues so frequently discussed by the elder members, among themselves and with visitors, that his mind received even as a boy a strong bent towards the abolition cause.
