tends pre(acing the edition with an Intro
ductory Discourse from his own pen en-
braring among other historical matter, an
exact account of the early Spanish,
French and English voyages to Florida;
and will add to it numerous Historical
Notes and Remarks, illustrative of the
main subject-the more effectnally to ac-
complish which latter purpose, he contem-
plates visiting this summer the valuable
Library at Harvard University which is
rich in materials of early Carolina History
and is the richest in the world on the sub
iect of American History generally, and
the result OF Mr.. C.'s labors and re-
searches will doubtless place us in posses.
sion of the most complete History OF
| SOUTH curutina, up to the Revolution,
which has ever been presented to the pub
lie. and one which will render easy to the
future historian the task of composing a
work of more succinct and popular char
acter. All the works which Mr.. C.. pro-
poses to rePublish, arc out of print, and to
be found only in one or two libraries. In
illustration Of their rarity, we have been
told that small copy of"Lawson's New
Voyage" was once sold for $50. The
only copy extent Of the Map, above men
toned, is to be found in the Charleston
Library-Mr. c. intends improving it by
comparing it with anterior maps at Har-
ward adding the names Of many Indian
settlements. Among other rare docu-
ments and works to which Mr.. c. will have
access, AZ Harvard, are, /. Two Charters
granted by King Charles, II. TO the Lords
Proprietors, with the first and last Funda-
mental Costitutions. 2. Descriptions of
South Carolina, London, 'l76l. 8. Short
description of South Carolina in 1903,

Carolina in 1893. The work will be
published in two large 8 vo. vols, on
good paper and in neat type, at the follow
ing prices: In cloth, beautifully got up 3S,
Sheep So SO, Calf As. Mr.. Carrolps
enterprise meets the appreciation Of our
literary men generally, and is recommend
ed by the Literary & Philosophical Society
Of this City-it is one of high interest and
commends itself both to the patriotic and
the literary and merits the liberal support
of an enli ghtened community. 1t should
be the province and the pleasure Of all to
foster an undertaking, which has for its pa
trotic and praiseworthy design, the rescue
of our early history from the danger Of
sinking into oblivion; and instruction ofthe
rising generation and of posterity in the
antiquity Of South Carolina.
