A few years since DIR. William Smith, of
the University of London, and the most emf
nent Lexicographer in the world, associated
with himself over seventy distinguished
Dvines and Authors, of both Europe and
this country. in the great task of preparing a
comprehensive Dictionary Of the Bible, and
supplying a want long felt by the religious
public. The result of these labors appeared in
three large and very costly volumes, a won
deriul monument of learning. An Abridge-
ment of the great work, for popular use,
made by DIR. Smith himself, is the one we
have arranged to furnish our sub-c. ibers.
THIS .3b6dgement is condensation of
thousands Of roiames Of essays, histories, trareS,
aud commentaries for the eiuciddtion md iLnS-
frdfion Of The Bible
1t contains every name in the Bible respect
ing which anything can be SAID. 1t embraces
the results of historic research. Antiquarian
investigation, the study of languages and
dialects, and the discoveries of the modern
travellers and explorers in the Holy Land
Robinson, Rawlinson, Ferguson, Layard,
Oticrt and Stanley.
The book is printed from new stereotype
plates, on good paper, and is appropriately
illustrated with over
l25 ENGRANlNGS,
of beautiful scenes, Ancienr Cities, and Mem
orable Places of the Holy Land, descriptive
Figures and valuable Maps.
! 1t contains nearly 500 closely printed.
! double column, octave pages, including -
elegant frHPage S.Cd and Hood Emgrarings.
/ 1t is printed in type of a heavy, district
, and very legibe face.
/ II is the only American edition of the
condensation made by DR. Smiths own hand
/ The most careful endeavor and accurate
scholarship have been enlisted TO avoid re-
producing the errors which crept into tie
English edition.
English authorities differ widely from
American in the pronunciation of proper
names. In this edition our standard leyico
graphers have been followed, so as to adap
the work to the American people, and Civ,
it an invaluable merit-and one which il
possessed by NO Other reprin', An inteligen
reader or ,t,tdepl o. the Bible will appreciat,
7 this excellence and be satisfied only with III,
Dictionary that gives him the Scripture
! proper names accentuated according to th,
best usage in this country, and the recognized
authorities in leXicography.

These establishments take about nine thousand
bales of cotton per year. In addition we
have two yer, large grist and fiourlns mills,
which do an immense business There are
also very large iron works, where evefy
variety of manufacture can be turned out
from a horse shoe to a steam engine. The
railroad shops, too, are filled with skilled
mechanics. The two engines built at the
South western establishment are among the
very best under the Central management.
We are soon to have a bagging factorJ-a
building having been purchased for 5000

charge Of it. Several planning mills and
furniture establishments can be found in
different parts of the city. An oil mill for the
refining of crude kerosene oil is located on
