Theodore Roosevelt
The Boy and the Man
By JAMES MORGAN
Cloth, illustrated, gilt tops, $1.50
“It does not pretend to be an analysis of the individual, and it was not written with the intention of advocating or criticising his political policies. It was meant to be a simple, straightforward, yet complete biography of the most interesting personality of our day. Its aim is to present a life of action by portraying the varied dramatic scenes in the career of a man who still has the enthusiasm of a boy, and whose energy and faith have illustrated before the world the spirit of Young America.”—From the Author’s Foreword.
“The book can go into home or school, north or south, without the possibility of offence.... It is especially tonic for high school youth and college young men. I doubt if any book has been written that will do as much for students as will this story of a real life.... Buy it, read it, and tell others to read it.”—Journal of Education.
“In point of style
the work is a masterpiece of vivid,
forceful, sinewy, Anglo-Saxon.
The story never halts, one is
never irritated by floridity
and gush.”—Boston Traveler.
“Whether or not a reader believes in Mr. Roosevelt’s policies, we doubt if he can fail, after reading Mr. Morgan’s book, to be a better American.”—Sacred Heart Review.
“It is a book which boys will delight to read, and which they cannot read without feeling the potent charm of what is wholesomest, manliest, worthiest, in man or boy.”—Chicago Tribune.
“The book is as
readable as a novel and the story it tells
is packed with inspiration
for American boys.”—Hamilton
Wright Mabie.

“The volume closes with a copy of Franklin’s will and a series of remarkably complete indexes, rendering the contents of all the volumes easily accessible from several different points of view. The whole work bears evidences of painstaking care and devotion to the task for its own sake. It is incomparably the best and most complete edition of Franklin’s writings in existence, containing all that is worth preserving, while in arrangement, editorial treatment, and mechanical workmanship it leaves nothing to be desired. The set is certain to have an
