book appeared in a leading journal,
which was written by Mr.. ", an ac-
quaintance of Dickens, and very
clever man, who has been dead for
many years. Mr.. Y. wrote to inform
Dickens of the service which he had
rendered him, and not only did he re-

with the timely lift which his book had
been favored with that he presented
the reviewer with the manuscript of
the story. bound up In gilt morocco. Mr..

terms, assuring the author that only
death would part him from the precious
manuscript, and that he would take
care that 1t should ultimately find n
place in the national collections. A few

Prof. William Beutenmuller, Of the

some thirty kinds In North America, Ut
which the variety found along the yu.
