Weappend the opinions Of d few lrading CIV
ilians and journals of the merits Of the work:
En- Coz. E. D. Morgan, Of N.,o York, .ays:
''1t is gratifying to know that competent
hands have undertaken the delicate task of
separating the true historical material from
the immense mass of printed matter which
now finds its way through thousand chan
nels to the public, and presenting it in q con-
nected form convenient for reference. Your
publication, it seems to me, unites this with
many other exsellencies."
Gov. John 4. Andrew, Of :Nassarhusetts srrites:
''Such q condensation of facts, and presen-
tation of Official Documents, relating to the
present war, cannot fail to be of great present
interest and utility, and in future years will
he invaluable to all who will wish TO study the
details Of the great Conspiracy a9ainst Con-
stitutional Liberty and the Rigl IS Of Mankind"
