oughtto be. Hedescended from his lofty

York, the Times. senses the situation
keenly, and says to- President Arthur:
"Alind your own business, which is not
that of interfering in the local politics

Messrs. Charles Scribner'S Sons:
I became sub criber for the new edition of the
Encyclopedia Britannica account Of the pre-emi-
nent merits of former editions of the same great
work, and of the arrangements made TO assure for
this latest edition the same scholarly petensss.
My examination of the volumes already issued has
been only partial (as sui pose be the with
most persons other than professional critics rival
publishers) so that cannot speak from fulness of
knowledge of their contents; but am prepared to
say that the articles to which have lad occasion
to REFER are quite up the old standard in ability
conscientious rerearch, and exact learning. can
stbut regret the tone of few of the writer's on
religious topics and the concleuions which they have
essed, these being not only adverse to the gen.
eral faith of the Oh istian church. but believe
not in accord with the best results of independent
inquiry. But the authority of particular article
is higher than that of the indivi ua writer and in
gene al, those religion and theology are sufic-
iently satisfactory. On the whole, have been dis
appointed only by the hardness with which the later
volumes have appeared and shall greatly prize the
possession of the completed work.

Charles Scribner's Sons:
Dear Sirs- 1t seems to me quite unnecessary for
thu publishers of the Encyclopedias Britannica to
ask the opinion of any of their subscribers to the
merits of this work. for its reputation is too well
tsblished to need any testimony in its behalf.
hen subscribed foi it had reason to believe,
r m my knowledge of the proposed plan of its pub
LEGATION, that it would prove to be most thorough
work. and the best that had yet been offered to
the public, and am happy to say that after ex.
animation of the fourteen volumes have received,
my most sangune expectations have been realized.
To sustain this publication it is unnecessary to at
tack others, and may here say. that in my judg-
msnt, the criticisms upon it by the publishers of
prominent American Cyclop@dia. have largely in
creased in this vicinity the number of friends Of
your work.
My only anxiety (Which, from its being proper
tona.e to the value of the book and my satisfaction
with it, may have seemed to you sometimes unreas-
onable) is that you should complete the whole work
at the earliest possible day.
Yours trny,
