From Ms H B. StOce, in The Ildepepdent february %
Mr.. Olmsted's book is the most thorough sz-
pose of the economical view of this subject which
has ever appeared himself practical farmer,
having visited and surveyed the farming of the
| Old World he set out upon tour to explore the
farming of the New. His style is simple, natural,
and graphic and he is so far from being carried
| away by his feelings, that one sometimes wonders
| at the calmness with which he will relate the
most astounding facts. He never hesitates to
admit merit or give praise when it is due. The
book Is very thorough and accurate in its details,
and is written in a style so lively, and with so
| much dramatic incident, as to hold the attention
| like work of fiction. A friend of ours, a gen
tleman of high literary culture, confessed to hav-
| ing been beguiled to sitting more than the first
half of the night to read it.

Republicanism will sweep the entire North in

1856 Men of the South, I'VE beg you to look
calmly and dispassionately at this array offgures
and see what they portend.
The able editor of the EUening Transcript Bos-
ton, thus speaks of this work:
"This little book contains a vast amount OF
information respecting the comparative condition
of the slaveholding and non-slaveholding States
as to territory, population, industry, wealth, edu-
cation, intelligence, religion, moral advancement
and general progress. The work must have cost
great deal of laborious research and it certain
ly presents arguments in favor of Freedom on
every page. 1t contains just the kind of informa-
ton that should be more generally known in all
sections of the country. We hope there will be
public demand for thousands of copies"
