Morehead and Leslie Coombs in the old

Senate as the second officer of the Repub

command recognition, and then he became
the Secretary of War when the armies

A Household Treasure,

We welcome, with undisguised
Measure, the advent of the first number
of new illustrated serial publication,
entitled "a Century After, or, Pictur-
esque Glimpses Of Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania" which is published by
Allen. Lane & Scott and J. w. Lauder
bach, No. 233 South Fifth Street,
Philadelphia.
"This imperial work." as we learn
from the prospectus, "now being issued,
after years OF careful preparatory effort,
will consist of abundant and magnificent
views, completely illustrating Phiadel.
phia and its surroundings, and the
finest scenery and most interesting
cities and towns Of Pennsylvania, with
copious aud entertaining descriptive let
ter-press. The enormous advance made,
during a century OF sel!-goverpment, in
civilization, the arts and sciences, will
be illustrated iu the case Of selected
metropolis. No city in the whole world
has ever been celebrated in work so
magnificent as this will be"
''rhese be brave Words" and if the
glorious promise Of the first number be
maintained iu those which are yet to
come, the publishers will have proven
their claim to the favor and thanks Of
the public for he who produces ii really
good book is public beneiactor.
As an earnest and conscientious effort
to attain the highest standard of excel.
lence, not alone in the department of art
and literature; but in the presentation
Of a book which, in topographic beauty,
is u credit to the city from which it
emanates, "a Century After" may fairly
rank with the finest illustrated publica-
tions OF the day.
The complete volume, we understand,
is intended to contain about two
hundred aud fifty superior wood engrav-
iugs, which will be produced with the
greatest care and without limitation of
the expence necessary to make them
perfect specimens OF their kind.
1t is a comDendable feature, in con
nection with this work, that the pub
fishers have thoughtiully limited the
numbers to be issued, SO as to place the
book within reach OF all.
1t will be completed in fifteen semi
monthly parts. at fifty cents each ,and is
Tor sale only by subscription.
