Excerpt from Lieut. General U. S. Grant, His Services and Characteristics: As Sketched and Delivered by Major-Gen. B. S. Roberts, Before the Faculty and Students of Yale College, by Invitation, October, 1865, And Again Read to the Legislature of Connecticut, by Special Invitation, in 1866, at Its Session at New Haven, Conn The services of General Grant, and his characteristics, as I understood and drew them in 1865, before the Faculty and Students of Yale College, and afterwards before the Legislature of Connecticut, I am urged by many of my friends to publish in this form. Heretofore I have refused to accede to solicitations to put forth this pamphlet, for reasons that may suggest themselves readily to persons appreciating the relations of officers of the army to their commanding General. Such reasons no longer exist, and now, with reluctance, however, I consent to deliver to the public, as common property, my views of the qualities of the great Captain that mastered the rebellion and saved the Union. His life and public services the past four years are the best commentaries that can be offered to show that I rightly judged the man, and did not exaggerate the substantive qualities that constitute his genuine greatness.
