1t should be added, under this head of

the benefit Of the mos, careful revision Of
experts in science and art e. g., Capt.
Craighill, late Professor at West Point,
has gone over the whole category of mil

relating to the law; Prof. Dana those in
the department of natural science; DIR.
Lowell Mason and Mr.. j. L. Dwight,
those treating oil music, &c. SC.

pains have been taxed TO indicate the PROP.

1900 words differently pronounced also,
furnishes, at glance, the material OF a
comparative Judgment tf the welgGt Of ev.
