The scholars of our Stnte--mcn who are
verScd in the history Of Connecticut will see
with regret and modification, the cavalier
treatment awarded to propositionto supply
the schools OF the State with HOLSTERS His
tory OF Connecticut, in the House Of Represen-
tatives. This work of HOLSTERS has been, and
will long continue to be, credit to our State.
1t will beethe tAesaarns from which the patri-
otic will Gull their anecdotes and refresh their
tagging spirits. The chapter on Bunker Hill
aud Israel Putnam is worth all that is asked
of Connecticut. The work was written from
personal researches and Investigations OF, the
spots described. 1t cost $4,000 TO stereotype
the plates, and ni6ney Was disbdrsrd without
stint for e,gravings and for local information.
The work is SUI generis. superior to TrimbulTs
Id history, and far more comprehensive In its
scope. Any other Northern Etate except
this, would gladly and promptly do oil that is
asked Ivy HOLSTERS friends. The burden Of
such wUk is too heavy to be borpe by one
man There is diff. renee between true econ
omy ard meanness We still hope tina the
matter NAV in some way he set right. We
know that HOLSTERS History is no cath-pen-
ny affair, and that to relieve him from pecu-
mary losses, is ull that can be expected 4(
