James Brown, of the firm Of Little, Brown
& CO., of this city. He died at his resi-
dence in Cambridge, On Saturday night,
after brief illness. The intelligence of
his decease will carry sorrow 10 many
hearts. He was extensively known and
esteemed as man of business, and he was
beloved by large circle OF personal friends.
He was eminently qualified for his vocation
as book publisher, and his good Judgment
and pure taste have. contributed 10 place
the extensive house of which he was a
member in the very first rank. He was
enierprising in the best sense, and assidu-
Gus always to raise the standard OF his pro-
fession to the highest point Of excellence.
He had cultivated taste for the beautiful
AZ well as the useful and no publisher
has don more than he has to promote tho
issue of good books, ina tasteful and ee-

beneiactor to the community, and his death
will be a public loss. To his superior
qualities as business man he added many
excellencies of private character, which will
cause his departure TO be deeply mourned.

that conspiracy was no doubt formed in
