January 23, 1896 issue

The article discusses books and authors. "John Sherman's Recollections" derive interest from two sources. First, the importance of the events in which he has played a part; second, from their presenting a picture of the man himself. As a literary performance, the book has no character whatever, but as the picture of a successful politician drawn by his own hand, it is instructive. No doubt, the success would have been more marked if the great ambition of Sherman's life, the American Presidency, had been attained; but, compared with that of most of his contemporaries, it has been very remarkable.
