ers and Binders, Knoxville, Tenn
We have received copy OF this
pamphlet published under the aus
pices of the Board of Trade of the
city of Knoxville, briefly setting
forth the mineral and agricultural
resources of East Tennessee andthe
commercial and business advantages
of Knoxville. As printers, our at
tention, naturally, was attracted first
to the typographical execution OF
the work. 1t is printed on entirely
new type, clear, legible and free
from blurs, monks or friars, with
well-arrangcd subject-hcadings, and
is neatly bound in paper covers
with an elaborate and rather over
wradsht title page. 1t contains two
maps,-one showing the railroad
connections and facilities Of Knox
vile and East Tennessee,-the other
exhibiting the coal and iron areas OF
our section. 1t contains a brief but
accurate and readable description
of the topography, water courses,
climate, mineral wealth, agricultur-
Al resources, markets, transporta-
ton and educational facilities and
advantages of East Tennessee, to-
sether with a weil-merited encom-
ium upon the hospitable, intelligent
and tolerant character of her people.
1t properly and truthfully treats
more at large OF the city of Knox
Vile, of her extensive and increas-
4 ing trade, her diversified and eX-
panding industries and manuiacto-
ries, her railroads, completed and
prospective.) her educational instl-
tutions, her climatic advantages, the
thrift, enterprise, progressive spirit,
municipal zeal and good taste OF her
people. 1t contains 4 most admira-
BILE letter from Gen. /. d. Imboden,
addressed to Col. Charlton, in which
the vast mineral resources of Up
per East Tennessee" are graphically
portrayed, and the pamphlet as ttly
finished up and rounded OFF with an
account of East Tennessee as seen

Taken altogether, the pamphlet is
an admirable production, rejecting
the highest credit upon the Board
of Trade of Knoxville, and especi'
ally upon Col. C. W. Charlton, tC
whose untiring zeal the inception Of
