"Presidential Candidates" by D. W. Bartlett is a historical account written in the late 19th century, specifically preparing for the presidential campaigns of 1860. The book offers biographical sketches detailing the personal and political lives of prominent candidates for the presidency, focusing particularly on lesser-known contenders who had not yet run a presidential campaign.

The opening of the work introduces the intent and method of the author in compiling the sketches, emphasizing the importance of detailing both public and private histories of the candidates. The preface indicates a selection process based on prominence and relevance to the upcoming election, intentionally avoiding well-known figures like Buchanan and Pierce.
