TAIN IlERoEs OF rs. with a sketch of the early
History Of Vermont; by Henry w. De Puy,
author Of the "IIil Of Kossuth," &c. This

some OF our gnwrltten history, scattered in
books, pumphlets and various documents which
he has grouped together IN very interesting
and readable book Of about l0) pages. The

tustc, discrimination and enterprise, which vii
somc day make him one Of the most successful
publishers in this county Green Mountain
