were 20 portrats-but mark the excellent
piece ofdupery practised. Instead Of being
of the common size, the whole number were
within the compass Of duodecimo page,
and as miserable caricatures as ever came
from the hands Of an engraver. Were
the portraits the only imposition, we might
be induced TO accept the work, but the BIZ
ographies are still worse. The life of
Washington IL comprised in SIR lines, and
that Of William Penn, the founder Of Penn
syvanln, IN about the same number; the
biography of Franklin, written in a much
better style, will be found in many catch
penny publications which originated twen-
ty-fiye years ago, while more than three
fourths Of the books is filed up with notices
OF men, whom nnety-nine subscribers out
ofa hundred will never be the wiser for.
We give n specimen.
"CosTA, John, professor oflaw at Cahors,
died in 1857"
"CoTEs, Francis, an English painter in
oil and crayCns, died l716."

Such ia the work which subscribers have
been paying one dollar and seventy-ive
cents fora work from which they can
neither derive profit or instruction. Such
scandalous impositions we trust will have
a tendency to correct former abuses; and
guard the people against their repetition.

chemist, for the payment of eight shillings,

herself as being IN Mr.. Styles service,
which he refused 90 pay, on tie ground
that the woman had left his service some
time past, and consequently the goods were

Pile, that n person sending servant to n
