He traces his opinions as set forth in his editorial writings.

In this way he shows how he "grew up" to his earnest advocacy of a protective tariff; how he became the most powerful opponent of the extension of the slave power, after looking on the subject almost with indifference in his earlier years; his curious inconsistencies during the civil war, when he was a source of constant interference with the Administration at Washington; and the circumstances that led to his selection as the Liberal candidate for President in 1872.
"Every lover of America's great men should possess this life of Greeley."-- _Raleigh Observer_.
"The best biography of Greeley yet written."-- _The Literary World_.
"Mr.Linn has not attempted an elaborate life of Greeley, but only an extended, a just and thoroughly appreciative essay.

Eminent success has crowned the effort.

The general public, as well as the more fastidious student, will find genuine pleasure and real benefit in perusing this little volume."-- _Prof.William F.Dodd, New York Times Review_.
