To scan the sensation paragraphs circulating
through tho country would suppose that Tennessee
nom ono and TO tic other. tho theaier Of social an
archy and Iawcssncss While, some months back. this
would very properly characterize its condition. happily
such is not the case now. There Is hardiy
a day that the Associated Press telegram
does no. furnish tho Nashville papers with revolving
tales Of endish outrages and barbarous murders per-
petrated percbanee In some faraway Northern State
With the wickedncss and deprayiy that human nature
Is crpablc Of this Is hardly to be wondered at is Ii
strange then Il Tennessee with the Heterogeneous and
partially diseased elements composing her population
should furnish her quota to tho damnine record Of
blood and murderf No. And So with pretty fair OPP
portuniies OF learning what is trnnspins through the
State remark very frankly that batting some excep
ona deprcdstions by lingering guerrillas and Other
iawless wretches now. by the way nearly died out
Tennessee is to-day almost peaceful and serene a.
any State in the Union. This may sound strange. but
SUCH nevertheless, Is tho fact. With tho Dit
ter feelings cngendered, and the civil strife
INDUCED In during the last four years 1t Is not to be
supposed that brothery love and Kindness wonld all ut

that while men agree to disagree. the work OF rehab
tation and industrial development goes bravcly on.
This remember express tho general salient feature Of
affairs. while like Puritan Massachusetts,. Tennessee

Beyond cavil, this portly and handsome
volume makes good the claim which is set
forth on the title-page. The revision which
the old edition has undergone u msniftstlx
most thorough one, extending TO syery
department Of the work. and TO its minute:t
details. The enlargement il has received u
very considerable, the sise Of the page hav.
ING been increased, and more than eighty
pages added to the number contained in tho
previous Or PICTORIAL edition. The i'm
provemsnts are not only really such, but
they arc 20 many and 30 great that they
amount to complete remodsling of the
work.
We are amazed 1t the vastness of the vo-
cabulary, which embraces upwards Of one
hundred and fourteen thousand words, be-
ing some ten thousand more, it il claimed,
than any other word book Of the language.
Such unexampled fullness would be apt to
excite suspicion that deliberately adop-
ted system Of crimping had been carried on
within the tempting domains Of the natural
sciences, to furnish recruits for this enor-
nous army Of vocables. But We do not
find, upon : pretty careful examination,
that many terms Of this sort have been 3D.
mitted which are not fairly entitled to
popular lexicon.

accuracy, completeness, and practical utili-
ty,-the work is one which none pho read
