pressed at the small edition, as the au-
thorlZed number OF copies is only 1000.

other works which Judge Clark has in
hand are the nineteenth volume of
State Records, from 1877 to 1889. and u
reprint OF the third and fourth volume
of tho North Carolina ReDorts, with
annotations by Judge Clark The num-
Der OF State Records to be printed are
300 and Of the reprints 500.

Records Will contain n splendid map of
the State at the time of the close of

county boundaries and the high roads
in 1873. At that time from Tennessee
counties. which comprised n good por-
tion Of that State, were Il part of North
