which portrayed the campaigns in the Climes MU! India, has
recently conveyed to us a most interesting and lifelike account

but it must be obvious to most persons that they
chietly arise from over-estimation of their own powers. In many
respects this country is far ahead of America In manufacture.,
especially those which require the most patient skill and minute
computation. Take as an example, watchmaking, and It will be

undersell us, yet that in sterling, honest workmanship they have
scarcely anything to compere with such watches as, for instance.
