"It is but nine months since this Iliad of the blacks, as an English reviewer calls 'Uncle Tom,' made its appearance among books, and already its sale has exceeded a million of copies; author and publisher have made fortunes out of it, and Mrs. Stowe, who was before unknown, is as familiar a name in all parts of the civilized world as that of Homer or Shakespeare. … The book was published on the 20th of last March … and the publishers have paid to the author $20,300 as her share of the profits on the actual cash sales for the first nine months. But it is in England where Uncle Tom has made his deepest mark. … We know of twenty rival editions in England and Scotland, and that millions of copies have been produced. … Uncle Tom was not long in making his way across the British Channel, and four rival editions are claiming the attention of the Parisians, one under the title of ‘le Père Tom,’ and another ‘la Case de l’Oncle Tom.’" C. F. BRIGGS, IN PUTNAM'S MAGAZINE, JANUARY, 1853.

(NOTE: The Story of the Civil War in "History for Ready Reference" covers more than 140 of its large, double-column pages. This matter would make an octavo Volume, similar to the standard historical works, of nearly 600 pages. The plan of these Studies will not admit of a detailed analysis of all this material, so that only the most significant, or pivotal topics will be treated. The development of the history is so clearly presented in Volume V. that a guide is hardly needed if one wishes to study the subject as a whole; while each individual topic may readily be found in the usual manner.)

The effect of the news was best described by the London ‘Times,’ which said: ‘ Whereas we had available for immediate purposes 149 first class war ships, we have now two, these two being the _Warrior_ and her sister _Ironside_. There is not now a ship in the English navy apart from these two that it would not be madness to trust to an engagement with that little Monitor.’ The Admiralty at once proceeded to reconstruct the navy."

"I spent most of the afternoon [on the day of Johnson’s inauguration] in a political caucus, held for the purpose of considering the necessity for a new Cabinet, and a line of policy less conciliatory than that of Mr. Lincoln; and while everybody was shocked at his murder, the feeling was nearly universal that the accession of Johnson to the Presidency would prove a godsend to the country. Aside from Mr. Lincoln’s known policy of tenderness to the Rebels, which now so jarred upon the feelings of the hour, his well-known views on the subject of reconstruction were as distasteful as possible to radical Republicans."
