Carroll free press. [volume] (Carrollton [Ohio]) 1834-1861, 1847-01-01

The most splendid Annual ever published in Ameri-
ca. The Press of the whole country have pronoun-
ced it THE GEM OF THE SEASON!
As it is impossible to publish all the favorable not
ces, alike from the religious and secular press we
append that of the philadelphia Saturday ourier."
The editor, speaking of the work, says. This is an
Annual Of the first class considered in reference to its
artistic as well as its literary merits. The literary
department is especially worthy of Communications a.
like for the number and note of the contributors and
the excellence of their articles most of which have
an elevated and moral bearing, and many Of them de-
signed to aid directly in the triumphs of the great
cause of temperance and virtue. We need only
name the sources from whence the Fountain is sup
plied-the sparkling streams that have combined to
make up its gushing waters-tO inspire boundess
confidence in the heathfulness and pleasantness of
| the beverage. The writers are-G. " Bethune. l.
