highest style Of the art illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best

having, harvesting, &c, &C., the various domes-
tic ANIMALS in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and

The work is being published in semi-nonthy
numbers of Ga pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at % cents each, or 50 Tor

The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW Conservative,
The EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRITIsH REVIEW (Free church,,

them their chief value, and in that they stand con-.
fessedly far above all other journals other class.

MEMORIAL.
To the Senate and House Of Representatives. offhe
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 2Sth of September, 1850 that they are Informed
and aeve that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that If patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be annual
charge reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialiss further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
