\ compilation Of North Carolina
poetry by Rev. Hight c. Moore, is a
handsome little volume and deserves a
place in every library in the State.
There is much more poetical talent in
North Carolina than many suppose,
and careful perusal Of this volume
will astonish those who have not read
it. We should be glad to see the work
literally patronlzed for two reasons !:
First it would show appreciation Of our
native poetlcal talent; and secondly,
it would be means Of encouraging
the compiler to even improve on hi.

be reached by addressing him now at
