State anil the West. This volume
completes the letter -" includes all
OF TX. +" d." and penetrates little
into M 1t therefore carries the
subscriber considerably over half way
through the alphabet. but whether the
whole of it can BE completed in the
fifteen volumes at first set as the linn

part we hope II may net. i. IL one OF
the very few books that grow. like
diamonds. more valuable a. they grow
bigger. II all the subjects are treated
as those have been IN the volumes so
far published. we see no objection to
the extension of the series TO fifty in
stead of fifteen volumes. As we b4.e
repeatedly remarked in our notices of
this work. it's articles read like popular
sketches in a magazine. Without
sacrificing particle of accuracy or
scientific fullness. they are as interes-
ting as if they were incorrect. and COR

Those who have read them. Is we have
regularly through a. each volume has
appeared. will bear witness that they
have laid down many novel with
less regret than some Of the fascina-
ting and instructive papers of the En-
encyclopedia. Another feature of it Is
peculiarly Indicative Of the hand of a
newspaper editor. Every subject, as
history, biography. statistics. tiscov-
cries, and inventions. brings the facts
down to the latest.possible date before
publication. For instance. IN the life
of Lincoln. his nomination for the
Presidency in May last. is recorded
