Exhibition, with a full description OF the |
Great Buildings and all the objects of In |
terest Exhibited in them. BY James ID. |
tory of the United States" etc. Embel- |
Hshed with over 300 fine engravings of

ton.
There is a universal demand for a
work which shall embody a complete
and carefully written account of the
great Centennial Exhibition, sketching
its wonderful and varied features, and
presenting to the reader not dry list
Of the articles exhibited, but brill
ant and graphic description of the
most magnificent display of the re-
suits of human skill and industry ever
gathered together Such a want the
National Publishing Co., have supplied
in this superb volume. It is from the
pen of the well-known author, James
D. McCabe, of Philadelphia.
The book is a complete and vivid
description of the Exhibition. The
author has written from his own per-
sonal knowledge, having gone through
every part of the great Worlds Fair,
notebook in hand, recording the vast
and varied information contained in
this work. He has received the con-
slant and sympathetic assistance of
the Centennial authorities, and has en-
joyed peculiar advantages in its prepar-
alton. The author takes us through
the Exhibition grounds, and makes us
familiar with every object Of interest
in them. We are then taken through
every building, large and small, in the
grounds. We are told the story of the
construction and arrangements ofeach
of these edifces, and the rare, beauti-
full and wonderful collections which
they contained are graphically de-
scribed.
This work is invaluable to all classes
of our people. To those who visited
the Exhibition it will be a pleasing
souvenir of their visit, and will enable
them to recall the magnificent scenes
they have witnessed. To those who
could not make the journey, the book
is a necessity, for it will enable them
to enjoy the delights of thorough
| acquaintance with the great Worlds
Fair in the quietude of their own
homes
There is not another book in print
which gives one-fourth of the infor-
nation contained in this work. 1t is
comprised in one large and handsome
octave volume of 874 pages, and is SUI
perbly illustrated. The book is sold by
subscription only, and agents are want
ed in every county. Published by the
National Publishing Co., of Philadel-
phia and st. Louis.
The plea upon which a few ambi-
tons men are seeking to replace our
system of government by one of mere
arbitrary power is, that the interests of
the country demand Capitalization of
power. Despotic Turkey has just been
lOTCeu, ny tue NOlCe VI MOueTu Europe,
to grant new constitution for the en-
pire, in which this remarkable clause
is found Observation-Disclosures in its
broadest sense is to be established for
all the provinces" Free America,
with her common schools, her univer-
sites, her laws and courts of justice,
her citizens whose devotion to all these
institutions and the General Govern
ment is proverbial, is threatened with
a centralized, arbitrary and irresponsi-
Bile system of COVE rnment, to satisfy
that lust for ruling which has always
eliminated in despotism.-Ne10 Haven
