Our Table.
The want of room has for several weeks past
prevented US from giving that variety to our edlto-
rial columns, which we wish to place before our
readers, md we have neglected almost everything
else to make room for The important army news
and such political matters as could not be deferred
But we now find on hand several works in the
publication line, that deserve attention
We have received the frs, of five numbers of
work from Gteely & McElrath, entitled "a de.
scrpton and historical account Of Hydraulic and
other machines for raising water; ancient and mod
ern, with observations on various subjects connect
ed with the mechanic arts, &C., &C." This
work is go, up in good style and is illustrated by
nearly three hundred engravings. The number
before us contains about seventy pages, and from
a hasty examination we should judge i, 10 be
highly interesting and usafu, scientific work. I,
contains much that is historical which together
with tho practical information in relation 10 the
mechanic arts, renders it valuable publication
and we mos, cordially recommend it 10 all who
may feel an interest in such matters.
