Thus il viii be perceived that the grants
made by this act have been nearly closed in
several of the Sta es, and special efforts are
row making to complete those in all the other
States. In some, PARTICULAR, in Florida, this
consummation has been prevented by the diff
ficulty in completing the location of private
ciaims," as It was impossible, III many por-
uons Of country IN " hich selections have
been made by the State, 10 distinguish public
from private lands, till those claims were To-
catod, and, Of course, until that time no def
mite action could be lad in the State seiec-
lions" A like diiHcuity has been experienced
10 bringing the business connected with claims
IN Florida, under the EARNED occupation act,
TO a termination. As most of the ''private
claims have been located, as already men
toned, the State selections and cases arj<-
ing under the "a med occupation act'' will be
disposed Of as rapidly as possible.
The several grants to the State of Ind ana
for the construction of the Wabash and Erie
Canal, amounting TO about l,4OO, 900 acres,
have all been selected, the lands certified to
the State, and closed upon the books of this
Office. The same may be said respecting the
grant to Wisconsin for the improvement Of
the Wisconsin and Fox rivers, and the con-
ne xion of those streams BY canal, made BY
the act of 6th August, 1916, except that pof-
ton west Of Fox river, within the recent ces-
sion by the Menominees, which has not vet
been surveyed. An intricate and laborious
branch of our land operations is that charged
with the examination and preparation of grants
for claims to land resting upon TITLES DERIv-
ED FROM FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS, AND DuNA-

From this statement Il will be perceived
that the aggregate amount of land disposed Of

Newark Academy.

BY late re. organization of this department OF
Delaware College, the Board of Trustees have taken
measures to place it upon new and improved
foundation, and to endow it with advantages pos
sessed by few similar institutions in the country
The Academy heretofore merged in the College,
and of course subjected to all the evils which have
been found to attend the amalgamation of the two
departments in the same building, and under the
same government now enjoys the privilege of "A
separate establishment, without losing those which
result from it's relation to the College proper.
A large and elegant edifce, with all the neces-
sary fixtures of a complete boarding establishment,
has been erected and furnished in which the atu-
dents of the Academy board, under the immediate
charge OF the Principal and his Assistants; and all
it's exercises conducted a system of it's own,
uninterrupted by the interests or operations of the
other department. The furniture of the study
rooms and dornitories has been chosen with pecu-
liar reference to comfort and convenience for study;
and no expense has been spared in providing the
apparatus necessary to render the means ofnstruc
ton complete; giving to Newark Academy faci-
| tics for priydte study and comfortable accommoda-
ton Of students, fully equal to those afforded by
many OF our colleges.
From its intimate relation to the College students
OF the Academy enjoy many advantages not gen
orally obtained at institutions of this kind Those
who wish to pursue some particular branch which
falls more properly within the College course may
be admitted to recite in any of the College classes.
Students also OF proper age and discretion, by
commentator of the Principal, and permission of
the Faculty, may enjoy the use of the College Lii
| brary without additional charge. Admission also

Book Ger. II, ls5l

BRookLINE, Der. II, 1880.
GENTLEMEN: have examined the sheets of the
translation of the admirable work OF Domat on the
Civil Law, which you have been kind enough to
send me- You will have rendered a great servic
TO the science OF law by the publication The form
OF the English edition of the translation was too
large aud inconvenent--and Its scarcity and high
price prevented its general III this country The
present publication from It's FORM It's style Of exc
Cution, and moderate price, think cannot fail III
remuncrating you. Inc translation by Mr.. Stra-
han has been tested ut in the main correct, but
will be improved under the revision of the editor,
Judge Cushing.
In searching for a solution oil the apparently new
questions arising out of the various relations which
orr advance civilization Is Crcatlng, and IN Judg
ing OF those reforms otthe law which in progress
in different partA of the United States, the value of
the civil law will be appreciated ne ii comes TO be
understood II cannot be otherwise with systern
OF written reasons which for centuries governed the
most wonderful social organization that the world
has ever witnessed, and which is the real basis OF
the jurisprudence OF continental Europe, and of
large portion of that of England and the United
States.
fl would bt quite useless for me to speak OF the
merits Of the great work which your enterprise Is
about u give 10 the American public. From the
United to occupy in England few of the standard
works concerning II have been translated into Eng
lIsh, and this want has not been supplied by the
original En- glisA treatises that aubiect have
no doubt that i'll Louisiana, in Texas, in Caifor-
mia, and in the new Territories OF the ULted States
as well as in Lower Canada, there will be a ready
demand for your publication. The profession
throughout the Union will readily lend their favor
the undertaking; and trust that your enter
prsing house will find its interest in publishing,
from time TO time in the English language, such
other standard works will form the basis of a
civil law library.
! remain, gentlemen, very respectfully, your
obedlent servant, GEORGE EUSIIS.
