offers a varied table of contents The portrait OF
the Duke OF York and Albany from the famous
medal which has lately come into the possession OF
Professor Charles L. Anthem Is spirited piece OF
work and the accompanying article by Professor
Anthem should interest the citizens of the State

bust of the Duke be placed in Central Park Is
worthy of attention. The people Of Illinois Will be
specially pleased with Mr.. Edward G. Mason's
sketch of Colonel John Todd first Civil Governor
of the Illinois Country. DR.. J. I. Jameson con-

likely TO challenge criticism. Among other matter
the original letter on the Presidential campaign OF

out sustans the high character of the publication
