Biographies of the Present Senators of the United StatesExcerpt from Biographies of the Present Senators of the United States There is no published work of which we have knowledge that contains a portrait and biography of each of the present senators of the United States, and no published work that contains a complete list of all the many senators who have served in the "second house" since the adoption of the constitution to the present time. In noting the doings of congress one has a desire to see the faces of the members and to know something of their lives preceding their public careers. In this work is given a full-page portrait of each of the present senators of the United States, forming a pleasing picture gallery of distinguished Americans. Following each portrait is the biographical sketch of the senator, thus giving a ready reference for present needs - a book of to-day. Most of the biographical cyclopedias are in price beyond the reach of the masses, and there would seem to be a neccessity for a work of this kind - a work within the easy reach of most persons who are desirous of reading of the public men of the times.
