that have come under our observation, w
must give the preference decidedly to tina
of Orville j. Victor, published by Jane
D. Torrey, New York. 1t is lar the mos
complete, thorough in detail, and appa

tains the important documents issued upo
both the Federal and Rebel sides, as we
as by foreign Governments relating to ID
American rebellion; and is hnely mus
trated with engraviugs, plans OF battle

NAV be formed from the fact that the mr.
volume, published last Fall, is fully ooc'
MED with the preliminary details, ana u
second volume, just published, opens WI
the inauguration of President Llncol
