1868 92 G78gd<br />

"Written as a 'Campaign life' in the presidential election year, this<br />

was still a book of more than passing value. Mr. Dana had represented<br />

the War Department at Grant's headquarters in most of his<br />

campaigns from Vicksburg to Richmond inclusive. General Wilson had<br />

been much of the time on his staff. Personal acquaintance, unusual<br />

opportunity, intimate knowledge of affairs, and literary ability were<br />

all united to make the book. The fuller historical knowledge since<br />

opened to us was made up for by the great advantage of close personal<br />

association with their subject." Larned's Literature of American<br />

history.<br />

1901 92 G8871C<br />

Sir Ge<strong>org</strong>e Grey (1799—1882) was an English statesman who had a<br />

long and singularly honorable parliamentary career. This memoir<br />

is hardly more than a biographical sketch written when the author<br />

was rector of Embleton, the home of the Greys.<br />

Hakluyt, Richard.<br />

Markham, Sir Clements Robert. Richard Hakluyt, his life<br />

and work, with a short account of the aims and achievements<br />

of the society, December 15th, 1896. 1896 rg2 H1551TI<br />

Hakluyt (i552?-i6l6) was an English geographer who was greatly<br />

interested in preserving the accounts of early voyages and travels.<br />

The society established in London in 1846 has for its object the reprinting<br />

of rare works on early geography, travels and history.<br />

Hastings, Warren.<br />

Letters to his wife; transcribed in full from the originals<br />

in the British Museum; introduced and annotated<br />

by S. C. Grier. 1905 g2 H343<br />

Hastings (1732-1818) was governor-general of India.<br />

Though the letters contain many references to the politics of India<br />

they are first of all love letters and interesting as showing the<br />

domestic side of a man of action. The editor, whose attitude is<br />

that of a hero-worshipper, has provided valuable annotations.<br />

Heber, Reginald, bp.<br />
