MANUEL OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF New
YORK, lS43 AND lS44-This may be called very
quiet and unostentatious volume, but one of great
value, and prepared, as we happen to know, with
great care and labor, by one whose facilities, as
Assistant Clerk of the Common Council, Can off &C
which he has honorably filled Tor many years,) and
whose diligence, accuracy and fidelity, render him
ernnently qualified for the task. 1t is work tia,
has sprung up from small beginnings, under Mr.
Valentines cares and, although it has been enlarged
before, it is now still further enlarged and improved
by the addition Of much new matter, and some
rare maps, one of the city Of New York as it was
in 1895. 1t contains complete and perfect list OF
all the Offices and officers, with their salaries under
the city government, with a.multitude of facts and
statistics, invaluable to those who would under
stand the city of New YORK. Although prepared
semi officially for the use of the Common Council,
presume:it will be shortly for sale at the book
stores.
