|, Miss Magill, niece Of the Hon. j. Ran
.dolph Tucker belongs to one OF our. pest
known and most honored families. What
she writes about Virginia Is in no ordinary
degree labor of love, for her devotion 10
the State is that of one Of its most dutlful
daughters. Her history has been already
adopted by the State Board of Education Tor
the use of the public schools of Virginia, and
We trust it may speedily find its way into all
others. 1t NAV be added that the history
does not include the late war. 1t ends at the
John Brownraid. The author THINKS Con-
federute times too recent, to be treated with
due impartiality in textbook, ana we
think her Judgment correct. ..., u Mt.
