TINE entire work, unabridged, in l volume,

GoopRIoH, of Yale College.
sWe believe we shall be certain of doing a service
to the people of the State if we say word or two
upon the unabridged Quarto Dictionary of the
English Language, by Noah Webster. The word
unabridged has been purposely employed, because
if such a work is wanted for any but the very
lowest uses--those of mere orthography or
thoepy--it cannot be too copious and comprehen-
sive. When is ignorant of the proper and
precise powers of word, he cannot endure to be
turned over to abridgment that gives him a
synonym, instead of q definition; but he demands
to know as much as anybody knows of its history
or etymoogy and all its different shades of mean
ing. Then only can he employ it with confidence
and effect, as mighty weapon for the expression
of intellect or passion.
ssIn the vital department of lexicon, its defni-
tions for which, more than any and all other rea-
sons put together, consult such work. DR..
Webster's work dsunrivalled. Their copious-
satisfies the wants Of the inquirer, and their
nice analysis and acnmen crafty his taste and

TO THE PUBLIC.

The tracts embraced in the above proclamation
of the President comprise all the residue of the
lead mines yet to be brought into market south
of the Wisconsin river. They cover those mines
particularly the portion situated in llinois) work
ed under former leases from the Government which
had not expired at the date of the sale of the ada
cent mines, and therefore possess the advantage OF
being prepared for immediate operations, without
incurring the increased expenses incidental to
opening new mines, and most of them are believed
to be very productive. They are all more or less
conveniently situated in reference to the navigable
rivers and other cheap means of transportation OF
their products to St. Lous, and in the midst OF
country yielding abundantly all the agricultural
products Of the latitude in which they are located
