From an Authentic Memoir furnished by His Order.
By BERNARD O'REILLY, D. D., L. D. (LAVAL.)
Written with the Encouragement, Approbation, and Blessing of His Holiness the Pope. In One Volume, Royal Octavo, of about 600 Pages. Two Colored Plates, Two Steel-Plates, and Twenty-two other Full-Page Illustrations. Published simultaneously in Six Languages. Commended by Cardinal Lucido Maria Parocchi, Vicar of His Holiness, Leo XIII.; His Eminence, John Cardinal Simeoni, Prefect of the Propaganda; His Eminence, James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore; His Grace, the most Rev. M. A. Corrigan, Archbishop of New York. This book appeals in a peculiar manner to Catholic hearts throughout the world, coming, as it does, with the approbation, encouragement, and blessing of the Holy Father, and written from an authentic memoir furnished by his order. It is of no less interest to the general reader. Emanating from the high authority and with the approval of the Pope, it can but echo the sentiments of the Vatican on the leading topics of religious thought, and the vital social questions which are agitating the whole world at the present time.
The life of such a man is necessarily invested with commanding interest for every student of contemporary history, and light upon it will be welcomed as eagerly by those who see in him only a prime political and social factor as by those who hold his office in veneration. - New York Sun.
The Life of Pope Leo XIII. is in every respect a publication of striking interest as well as of profound significance. - New York Herald.
A memorable contribution to contemporary literature, the faithful history of a great scholar, a great diplomat, a great prelate. - New York Journal.
The volume is of surpassing interest. - San Francisco Bulletin.
To look at, it is a handsome volume; to examine it carefully, it has been brought out with all the care that experienced publishers know how to bestow; to read it, it is full of the most delightful, most interesting information; and to study it critically, it is the result of a profound knowledge of the times we live in, and of the past from which the present has sprung. - Catholic Standard, Philadelphia.
The choice of the Rev. Dr. O'Reilly was a happy one. A brilliant style, a high degree of literary ability, artistic taste, thorough knowledge of the world, an imagination that relieves all he writes from any suspicion of dullness, fitted him eminently for the work assigned him. - United States Catholic Historical Magazine.

Personal Memoirs Op Gen. P. H. Sheridan,
Written By Himself.
Two Octavo Volumes of 500 Pages each. Steel and Wood Engravings. Famous Letters. Twenty-Six Maps. An Exhaustive Index.
Sheridan must rank as the ablest cavalry general of modern times, and his career is as romantic and interesting as it is wonderful. Of all our great generals, his life was the fullest of adventures, and his Personal Memoirs reads like a work of fiction. For the benefit of the military student, and those who want to enter into the details of his campaigns, he has prepared statistics in the form of notes and maps; but these are so arranged as not to interrupt the flow of the story.
His memoirs have the value of an important historical production, and the interest of a great work of fiction. It is a clear, concise, graphic, and yet simple account of a wonderful life. - New York Tribune.
The story reads like a romance, though the facts narrated are all hard, fast, and easily verifiable. . . . The English is that which Caesar would have written had he penned his Commentaries in the dominant language of the nineteenth century instead of in Latin. - New York Critic.
It tells the story of a heroic life, with a directness and frankness of purpose, and a simplicity and modesty of expression that cannot be too highly praised. - New York Sun.
A flowing, modest, fascinating story of great events and deeds. - Brooklyn Eagle.
Abundance of adventure, stirring incidents, and dramatic situations, such as one is accustomed to look for in a Waverley romance rather than in prosaic history or autobiography. - Cincinnati Times-Star.
