List of Subjects Treated With Au.
 uhors-The City,s Solid citizens Pic-
 tured-To Be Published Next Fall.
 The history of New Haven, now being prepared under the direction of the Rev. E. E. Atwater, is rapidly approaching compie- tion, the advance sheets of the opening chap ters already being in the hands of the proof reader. A peculiarity of the work, and one which will make it of especial value, is that the various topics treated are all discussed by those thoroughly familiar with their spe- cial subjects and hence more capable of do- ing them greater justice than would one who was merely hterateur. The list of chapters published two years ago has been somewhat increased and changed in various ways. We give the list as it will appear in the book, together with the names of the authors, some of which have not been previously made public Where no name is given the chapter is by the Rev. E. E. Atwater, or compiled under his direction.

 boundaries of the city at various periods. There will also be about one hundred fine steel portraits of prominent citizens, who have been asked to contribute their likeness es together with short biographies. Great care has been taken in the selection of those whose lives and portraits will appear, and they certainly form brilliant galaxy of New Haven's talent and culture. The volume will be the same size as the Encyclopedia Brittanica and will contain from one thou sand to twelve hundred closely printed pages and will be published by W. w. Nun sell & Co. MT. F. Vedder, one of that firms employees, has recently been in this city mak- ing some of the final arrangements and it is safe to expect the book next fall, although
