we are led to believe it will bea very valuable
publication. 1t will be different thing from the
Cyclopadia but of vital Importance to the reading
public. 1t will contain interesting memoirs and
historical sketches which will be useful, iusruc-
tive, and entertaining; it will throw the influence
of chaste literature over the feelings and the hear
of its readers, and be highly valuable addition to
public and private libraries. PTacf Ed. Boston,
