ments an accurate and minute history Of the
struggles of the great armies and their battles, il

and Confederate Congresses; financial measures

and establish their government; also, all the
exciting rents in foreign countries; the de-
velopments in the physical sciences the progress
of literature; mechanical inventions and improve
ments the stupendous enterprises of the govern
ment connected with the war, such hospitals
for the army, the manufacture of ordnance, and
the trade regulations in insurrectionary districts.

tions. the Biographical sketches OF the eminent
persons deceased in 1868, sc.
