Excerpt from A Life of Grover Cleveland The accompanying Life of Grover Cleveland may be considered a supplement to my volume of his "Writings and Speeches," issued in June last. While making the researches necessary for that, I was struck with the paucity and weakness of the literature that had grown up about this virile political figure. Coming to the front as he did without notice, rounding out a political career in an unprecedentedly brief time, no serious and intelligent attempt had ever been made to bring out in anything like connected form the words and a history of the acts that represented what Mr. Cleveland is, and what he means to the American people. Most of the sketches extant were written in 1884 and re-issued in 1888, almost without revision. They are of little value as a record of his career, or an estimate of his character.

Excerpt from Grover Cleveland From the luminous essays published in the Quarterly journal of Political Science I have derived great assistance, as well as from the masterly works of Professor Taussig on Tariff and Silver, and from the Congressional Currency of Mr. Gordon. For the personal details of Mr. Cleveland's history, I am indebted to some hints from American friends, and to the series of popular biographies written from time to time, with his authority, by Mr. Pendleton King, Mr. Hensel, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. George F. Parker. In conclusion, I wish to express my thanks to Mr. James Bonar, who has been good enough to read over in proof the chapters on the tariff and on currency; and to Mr. B. L. Mosely, of 2, Brick Court, Temple, who has given me valuable help in the chapters on the foreign policy of the United States.

Excerpt from Recollections of Grover Cleveland I have explained the principles and policies that have guided me in writing this book. But no task like this can be executed without incurring agreeable obligations to many persons. The Executors of the estate have generously given me permission to print letters written by Mr. Cleveland, and I have received many suggestions from his sister, Mrs. S. C. Yeomans. I owe especial thanks to Colonel John P. Irish of California; ex-Attorney-General William U. Hensel of Pennsylvania; Colonel Hilary A. Herbert of Washington, D. C.; ex-Secretary George B. Cortelyou of New York; Hon. Alton B. Parker of New York; and Mr. Herbert P. Bissell of Buffalo. They have all sent me useful contributions to history.

Excerpt from Grover Cleveland: A Record of Friendship IT has seemed to the writer not only an obligation of friendship but of patriotism to make some record of the personality of Mr. Cleveland as revealed in an intimacy of many years. The large traits of his character, and those important public services which far transcended partisan accomplishment, have made their impress upon the American people and the world. They were eloquently described by high officials and leading men of the two great parties of the nation at the Memorial Meetings of l\iarch 18, 1909, on the sev enty-second anniversary of Mr. Cleve land's birth. Sympathetic speakers and writers have told much, also, of his charac teristics and his daily walk, but the full portrait has not yet been rounded out. I[m1.
