FIRST mat the STATE ooaru "aue an
honest selection OF books found mer'torlous
after thorough examination.
Second. That Messrs. Harper q Broth
ers, instead OF superseding all the text
hooks in the schools, have only one series
(readng) embracing six volumes, while
other hsuses have more than double the
number, thereby rebutting the Times
charge of monopoly.
Thirdly. and. lastly. that the books were
selected several months previous to Mr..
Conway's visit to New York.
In addition to the above, emphaticaily
deny that Mr.. Conway has received or is to
receive a commission from Harper
Brothers, or that any undue means have
been used to effect the introduction OF their
books; also, that he IL IN no way concerned
with the volumes stored at NO. 10y Canal
