Chronological Compendium of The History offhe
United States MIR. Roswell Park, of Hamilton
College, has compiled and published a Com
pend of the History and Chronology of the
United States, in the form Of chart, which
may be procured at the bookstore of Mr.. w.
B. Gilley, Broadway The plan which he has
adopted, is in our opinion admirable for its con.
venience and comprehensive brevity So far
as he has proceeded in the execution, he has
given proof of ingenuity and attentive research.
In the difficult task of selecting tbs most i'm
portant events and characters embraced in our
History, we think he has generally eyinced
skill and Judgment. The work is hereby re.
commended to the attention of gentlemen of
information, and to the patronage OF an enlight
ened public. Such is the language of arecom-
mendation signed by the faculty of Hamilton
College and we concur therein
From the Philadelphia National Gazette, ahty 81. y
Doubts seem TO be entertained with regard to
the project OF Join, Stock Publishing Com
pany, which has been announced at Boston,
The capital mentioned, -one hundred thousand
dol!ars,--is deemed too small to work any de-
cided benefit TO American literature. There
are, we learn. several boohseing houses in this
country ,barempioy each,a larger amount Of
I ny would; probably, be soon absorbed by accu-
mutation OF stock: .
Some of the writer's who have commented on
the Boston project, remark, that the copyrights
Of good American productions would bring a
higher price in Europe Than the Company could
afford 10 pay; and they ask, what American
bookseller would have given one thousand
pounds sterling for Brace5ridge Hail, or fifteen
1l.loo H..
are informed that Mr. Irving might have had
here the former sum for Bracebridge Hall, but
he refused TO sell his copyright, and preferred
publishing the work himself He received a
bout three Thousand dollars for the first edition
of his Tales ola Traveller, and was offered four
thousand dollars FOR the right of printing ii for
very short period. Mr. Cooper, we also know,
received fee thousand dollars for the copyrights
of each Cf several of his novels.
From these facts the Inference is, that the
American booksellers have manifested more
libtraliiy or enterprise than is generally sup
posed; and tina, resort TO 4 Joint Stock Com
pany, or 10 the European market, is not so ne
oessary as the suggestions which have been
made in favor of that plan would imply. 1t is
proper TO state, in addition, that Mr., Irving 5
works are sold in England at ABOUT one hall
more tDan In lhlS country ana lhose vi "'
Cooper at considerably more than double the
American price. A novel by the author OF
WavcrIy sells, in England, for guinea and q
half ortwo guineas, while one by the, author oil
the Spy is vended here at two dollars. This
difference in price should be taken into consi-
Iteration, in the question Of the comparative
| amounts paid for English and American books.
If the american public would buy American
J. r -, tl,e ri,rt,t &c
would bring adequate sums at home.

STATUE OF WASHINGTON.

R,y;u,oye. June 5.-We had Yesterday the
rle,sure Of seeing the models oil the contem-
lid Statue of Washington, TO be placed on
rhc TON Of the Monumen, in this city. All OF
them possess their respective merits, but that
mon which the choice of those who were APP
no;p,ed 10 make selection, has fallen, appear
"a 70 rs TO combine the different requisites IN
g, Greater degree than any other. IL is the pro-
anr,ion Of Mr. Causici, and is most tavora-
he sne,imen of the genius OF that gentleman.
The model is one half Of the size OF The con
,rmpla,ed statue, being - feet in height; the
Arrangement o. The drapery is such, as 10 give
it the appearance OF an antique, ana' al .ne
same time, preserve the costume OF the period
at which Washington lived, The time chosen
!. me moment Of his resignation OF his commits
SION. and his attitude, rs he presents the IN
s,rument under which he had held his authori-
~, is full Of that easy dignity Tor which the orr
cinal was so conspicuous. His head is anco'
yered and he is alfred in his military dress, a
round which large cloak is thrown, so as TO
FAN around bis person in easy, flowing drapery!'
The arrangement at the back OF the hgure Is
y,r, fine and is free from The awkward stiffness
which generally occurs. We learn that 1t Is

months from the time Of its commencement
