AMERICAN BIOGRAPHY.

We publish in our paper ofto-day, the prospecu.
OF work compiled by MIR. ROGERS, Of Pennsyl
vania member OF the house of representatives
which we are glad to see offered to the public -
The multiplication of authentic biographies OF the
fathers of country increases stock of litera-
ture in its most interesting and valuable department;
these narratives incite the young, instruct the old
and improve the moral character OF the nation, by
constantly holding up TO the public view and imita-
ton portraits of virtue and patriotism, OF which the
history of mankind affords no brighter examples.
The book which has been compiled by MIR Ro-
GERS is valuable, not only as a work Tor the libra
ries of men Of reading but has the higher me- il
of being emnently fitted for an american School
Book and will therefore assist materially in supply

capacity o. youth, and intoxicating principles which
correspond with our institutions.
