Crystal Springs Monitorl
I 1t is royal octave, printed on fine paper,
! containing 54J pages of closely printed letter
press and illustrated with numerous portraits
| of the leading men officially connected with
the State. The elegant style in which the
work is gotten up both az to the Topographic
| cSl execution and binding, reflects great
| credit on its publishers, and ought to be u
! source of pride to all Mississippians, it is
/ home production which will compare favora-
/ bly, with any similar work issued from the
| large publishing houses in Europe or Ameri-
I ca. The already acquired reputation of the
| author, a gifted writer, is a sufficient guar
antee of the high character of its literary
merits. Such a work, touching, as it does, his
/ patriotic pride and love of his native State
! could not pass through his hands without the
| stamp of his genius. Suffice it to say, there
| fore, that the work comes fully up to
| highest expectations, and is a timely and
valuable contribution to our literature.

dedicated it. Col. Claiborne is a pleasing
writer, and possesses vast store of in forma
ton. In mississippi as a Province, Territory
and State the title of the book he has given
the citizens of our State the benefits of his
learning and research. If there is any one
subject upon which person should be well
informed it is that which pertains to his home
his State Every Mlssissippian should have
a copy of Claiborne's History. The work of
printing and bindilg was all done in Missis-
sippi and is creditable TO the enterprise of the
publishers. 1t is emphatically Mississippi
book.

Gov. Don Estavan Minor Gov. David Holmes
VIM. NJ Gwin, Jacob Thompson, and Green |

paper, from clear new type, and handsomely |
bound in muslin. The get up of the volume |
would do credit to any OF the great publishing
