Excerpt from The Library of American Biography, Vol. 1 The great political consequences of the war of the revolution have thrown into comparative oh scurity the previous military history of the British North American Colonies. In reality, however, the military efforts made by those Colonies, not only in the Seven Years' war, but in that of 1744, were of great importance. Large forces were kept on foot; distant and important expeditions were undertaken with success; valuable con quests were achieved; and, on more than one occasion, a very decisive influence on the politics of Europe was exercised by the colonial govern ments. Great importance would have been at tached to these transactions, but for the greater importance and interest of those, which followed so close upon them, in the war of the Revolution. But it is not the least of the reasons, why we ought to study the history of these earlier wars, that they formed in reality the great school, in which the military leaders of the Revolution were trained.

Excerpt from Contemporary American Biography, Vol. 1 Theissue raised before the country is not one of mere sentiment for the rights of the negro; though far distant be the day when the rights of any American citizen, however black or how ever poor, shall form the' mere dust in the balance of any controversy. The issue has taken a far wider range, one of portentous magnitude; and that is, whether the white voter of the North shall be equal to the white voter of the South, in shaping the policy and fixing the destiny of this country; or whether, to put it still more boldly, the white man who fought in the ranks of the Union army shall have as weighty and influential a vote in the government of the Repub lic as the white man who fought in the ranks of the rebel army.

Excerpt from Dictionary of American Biography, Vol. 1: Abbe-Barrymore A tentative list of names was first compiled from earlier works of reference, but it was deficient in the particulars just noted. A classification was then devised on the basis of occupations, trades, and professions, as likely under American conditions to bring to, light significant figures in specialized fields Of human endeavor. For each of these groups some authority was asked to supply a tentative list. Every such list was submitted to other specialists, or to groups of specialists, who dropped some names, added others, and attempted to make a rating of all. To avoid the possibility of names slipping through the meshes of this drag-net, necrologies of all sorts were carefully searched; and the pro posed list of names in the first volume was printed and circulated three months before the volume was sent to the printers, in order to discover serious omissions.

Excerpt from American Biography and Genealogy, Vol. 1: California Edition; Illustrated And in one year the harvest of her gold mines was a paltry 044, while the golden harvest of her farms and gardens was more than seven times as much as all her gold that year could buy. He taught her how to waste her rivers from their torrent beds, and scatter them over the land in irrigating ditches, so that the shallow river a child could ford became a stream of fertility, an oasis of blossom and fruit and shrub twenty miles wide. On every page of her unfolding history and growing greatness. He wrote down paradoxes that her writers of fiction hesitated to use, so that the guileless tenderfoot believed in Colonel Jack Hazard, and Truth ful James, and Bill Nye, in refined and rigidly moral gamblers, in pure-minded harlots and generous stage robbers with university degrees, but shook their heads and said, Oh, California stories! With pitying toleration, such as one uses when speaking of the heathen in his blindness, when told of the Big Trees and the YO Semite, and eight crops of peas or alfalfa in one year from the same field.
