paper of the very best quality. The book
is embellished with over $50 fine engrav-

cal scenes portraits of the great men of
ancient and modern times and views Of
the principal cities of the world. These
engravings are genuine works of art, and
we're made at cost of over $4,000. We
cannot too highly praise the numerous and
beautiful portraits of historical per-
sonages with which it abounds.
