in the great work which they have under
taken hut the styic and everything connected
with the book, which has so strongly recon-

fully clear though exceeding small type, the
clean bright impression, the spirited en-
cravings, the neat regular folding, the pretty
green and gold binding, and the nice solid
feeling book which all these necessary con
comiiants 40 to make up, va wonder how II

are enterprlsing gentlemen, and deserve the
encouragement of the public IN their efforts
10 furnish our citizens with cheap and relia-
BILE WORKS of this kind.
