IuItOr OF Tie North Alnerlcan Review.
1.-THE examination which have thus far been able tC
make confirms the opinion of its ranscending excellence
which formed from the specimen sheets submitted to
my inspection. There is point which perceive
less than the highest atainable and skill There is
department within the province of dictionary that
has been left imperfect especially struck with the
degree to which your quarto might fill the place of
many volumed Encyclopedia. Your full definitions of
terms in science and and technical terms general
aided as they are when necessary by pictorial represen
tatiOns always clear and nelligble and
full and adequate the articles the titles for
instance, in the Encyclopedia Americana, while you de-
fine correctly hundreds of such words which occurring
not titles but incidentally, in work like the last
named could not be found by the inquirer"

stock and trade circles has prevailed since the
commencement of our present political troubles
The lack of confidence renders money negotla-

Trade, too, is wonderfully contracted with many

Money on the street continues tight, and capital
