rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents tbn,
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the nc,
of 18th of September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
,ba, thev do not expect or desire To reside on tho
land thus granted; that f patented to them. the
EXPENSE Of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge reducing the value Of the grant, which
thew could avoid il permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assume
that the officers and volunteers entitled TO bounty
lands, are not competent to rot nor themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
ligen and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants foF
bounty lands sssignable, and they viii ever

This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400

tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
