January 15, 1891 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "Our Early Presidents, and Their Wives and Children, From Washington to Jackson," by Harriet Taylor Upton. This is a "gift book," showy on the outside and profusely illustrated within. It aims to give the home life of first seven U.S. Presidents, who, the author tells, are known as the "historic Presidents." It is a work of considerable research, the family treasures in the way of correspondence, portraits, jewels, and other heirlooms having been freely drawn upon, thanks to what the author acknowledges to be a most generous unreserve on the part of the representatives of the Presidents, in laying open their most delicate stores.
