'sWe believe shall be certain Of doing 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 work Is wanted for any but the very
lowest uses-those OF mere photography or or
thoepy-it cannot be too copious and comprehen-
sive When one ia ignorant of the proper and
precise powers of word he cannot endure to be
turned over to an abridgment that gives him
lsynonym, instead of definition; but he demands
to know much as anybody knows of its history
or etymology, and all its different shades of
ing. Then only can he employ it with confidence
and effect, as mighty weapon for the expression
lof intellect or passion.
"In the vital department of a lexicon, its defni-
tons, for which, more than any and all other
sons put together, we consult such work, Dr.
Webster's work stands unrivalled. Their copious-
ness satisfies the wants of the inquirer and their
nice analysis and acumen crafty his taste and re-
ward research The vocabulary ia interspersed
with terms in science, which it is very convenient
often to have explained with promptness, without
the trouble of reference to the shelves of the IL

The James River and Kanawha Hotel,
AT PATTONSBURG, BOTETOURT CO.

TENaE subscriber would inform his friends and the
4 public generally, that he has leased the above
Hotel for term of years, from Messrs Leftwich
& McMalh, the propretors and that he will be
prepared, at all times, after the 9th of August, Cat
which time he will take possession, if not sooner,
to accommodate any number of Boarders, besides
the travelling public. The building is entirely
new-just being finished-ii is four stories high,
and in point Of size, elegance and commOdousness,
is perhaps the most splendid that can be found any
where in the Valley. To travellers on the Packet
Boat, (Which will soon be running, he would beg
leave 10 say III advance that it is more conveniently
located for their accommodation than any other
Hulel, being just at the end Of the Bridge, on the
same side Of the River along which the boats pass
and some % or 80 yards from the towing path.
His TABLE will be furnished with the best
that the country can supply; his BAR with the
choisest Liquors and his ROOMS with the best
Of Beds. His stable also is large, and will be
attended by an excellent OSTLER. He is de-
termined, in short, to spare neither pains nor ex
pense to accommodate and please ;-and he hopes
that his long experience as landlord, with the su-
perior inducements that he is persuaded he has
in his power to offer, will ensure him large share
Of the public patronage.
