THREE YEARS LITERARY LABoRs-Daring the
last three years that have conducted the Herald, by
an accurate calculation, have written, with my own
hand. nine such rolumeS each of the Waverley
Novels would make, making nearly in that space of
time, 5000 pages if not more, of the usual matter
published by the Harpers. Of this, enc. fifth has
consisted of daily historical record of the Com
mercial affairs of this country, explaining and COM
mentlng on money matters, political economy,
and finance, such as no other individual in the same
space Of time, ever attempted, or ever brought to
bear upon one subject in the United States. In the
aggregate, the composition of these Money Reports
is nearly equal in quantity, to one, if not more, of
Adam Smiths two volumes of the "Wealth of Ma
TONS" On politics, on religion, on society, on NOR
ais, on every event of the day, have written with
equal fertility.

Herald, for three years. has presented series of al
most entire original articles and writings. No other
paper-no other half dozen papers-can present such
specimen of indusry-such an accumulation of
thought and expression in the same lapse of time.

present magnitude and influence?
