Department for the year then expiring. 1t
was not short report 1t was, on the con-
trary, report of pretty formidable dimen-
sions 1t was got up with not few en-
bellishments. Like one of PARLEY's story
books, it was well illustrated with cuts,
that the people might have a perfect insight
into the condition and Operations" of the
Department. There was a plan OF the
"gateway, guard and muster-house of the
navy yard at Memphis, Tennessee; scale
10 feet to an inch" Then there were
cross-sections and profles, ground plans
and de-elevations of proposed timber
shed and mould loft, at Philadelphia. Then
there was Autograph sketch, with side
elevation and ground plan, for "coal-
houses, blacksmith's shop, and ropewalk
engines" at the Boston navy yard; dis
playing on its face the following particu-
lar estimates, to testify to the diligence
and minuteness with which the Secretary
calculated to the last farthing every dis
bursement of the public money:
