Mr.. GREELEY.-His old associate,
Mr.. Dana, most justly and generously
characterizes Mr.. Greeley, whom he
urges as minister to England under
the new administration, as follows:
Beyond all other prominent men in
the country, Mr.. Greeley is par excel
lence, an American, a republican, a
democrat. No foreign element en-
tiers into his composition. No ideas
derived from the customs and the cul-
ture of other lands mar the harmony
of his mind. He is as purely pro-
duct of the United States as was Ben
jamin Franklin-indeed, more So
He regards every subject from an ele
waited, American point of view. He
is as perfectly republican, believing
in republican self government, the
right Of the people to control then
own affairs, the political equality of
all men, as was Thomas Jefferson
He is thorough democrat, Away:
defending the claim of every human
being to all social privileges and OPP
portunities, to perfect social justice
more truly even than VIM. FL. Seward
in his best days. During his whole
life he has toiled, struggled, done al
and dared all for the elevation of maj
to his rightful place in the creation
This the people of all countries know
and for it they love Horace Greeley
Moreover, he is an original character
fashioned on no model but his own
and his appearance in the world Of

and grateful as the air of spring annie

extensively introduced into the schools
| of Vermont. The increasing demand
for it has occasioned the preparation
of a new edition, which has been thor
oroughly revised by Rev. Pliny FL.
White, who was designated for that
work 10y the board of education.
Upon comparing this edition with
the preceding one, We notice many
important improvements. Not to men,
ton the correction of some hundreds
of grammatical and rhetorical errors,
and Of some erroneous statements of
fact. there are several additions which
materially enhance the value OF the
book. The attempted conquest of
Canada in ITS and 1776, one of the
most interesting episodes 10 the his
tory of Vermont, of which nothing is
said in the former edition, is In this
made the subject 0 f several para
graphs, which give the pupil suffi-
Gent knowledge of that enterprise
The account of the battle of Benning-
ton, which was very brief and not al
together correct, is much enlarged,
and made to agree exactly with what
is now regarded as the historical
truth. The four chapters on the ge-
ology and mineralogy Of Vermont,
one of which was mere list of names
of minerals, have been struck out,and
their places are supplied by as many
new chapters by A D. Hager, ESQ.,,
who has compressed into ten pages as
much Of the science as school child
needs to know. An account of the
part taken by Vermont in the late
war, and of the St. Adams raid. is
among the new matter. The whole
amount of the new matter is about
eighteen pages. The questions have
been thoroughly revised, and many
"leading questions" have given place
to others which are not Objectionable
: on that score.
The =. ties and questions on the con
slitution of the United States have al
so been revised, and such changes as
are made necessary by recent legisla
ton OF. by amendments have beer
made. The 18th and l4th articles
