The Press and Banner. Wednesday, Aug. 27, 1879, Pcabody Scholarships A Splendh Chance for the Educated Youth o Abbeville County or of the State. I have boon empowered by the Stab Superintendent of Education, Hon ]IughS. Thompson to examine candi dates for one, perhaps two, Peabod} Scholarships of the value of $-00 eacli annually, good for two vears, at tin State Normal College, Nashville, Tenn The Scholarships arc attainable oti the following conditions:? 1. The applicants, male or female must be at least 17 years ol' age, and o irreproachable moral character. 2. They must pass a satisfactory examination in spelling, reading, penmanship, grammar and analysis, geography civil and physical, elements of chemistry, physiology, geology, U. S. History. 3. The scholarships are intended for the training of teachers, and applicants must give a pledge to remain at tiie couegc two years, and to teach in the public schools at least t<vo years. The examination on the subjects specified will be in writing and will he held before me at Abbeville on Saturday, 13tl of September, at 10 o'clock A. M. The annual session opens on the first "Wednesday in October. For further information apply to me. N. B. The examination is not confined to candidates from this county. The Scholarships are open to the State. W. C. UEXET. Newspapers friendly to educatior are requested to call attention to tht above. Breneh of Promise of Marriage. We learn from the Charlotte Obseit'ei that a yo.ung lady from the North, froir the Bay State, has sued Mr. Joseph Coxo late of Greenville, now of Asheville, X C., for breach of promise of marriage 1 The damages aro laid at the modest sun of twenty thousand dollars. That sun alone, not a cent less, will suffice to fill uj the breach made in "Miss Dollie's" allec' tions. Ii her heart bo broken, her head is level. We should like to know, however by what arithmetical process Miss Dollit or her pmchcin amy arrived at the exac assessment 01 uaniagfss impuuii j21 nu round sum of twenty thousand dollars An even, plump sum it is, its svmmetn undisturbed by units, tens, or hundreds or even by an odd thousand or two,?it beauty undisfigured by cents, mills or ; common fraction. How was the arithme tical question stated, figured out, anc worked so as to evolve as a result the an swer twenty thousand dollars? Itcouli not have been by any of the four simpl* rules, although long multiplication mus have been used at some stage in the opcr ntion. It was not a sum in Rule of Thre< for only two persons were involved, tw< persons who by the rule of matriinonia cancellation Miss Dollie wished to see nc longer twain but one flesh. Nor was it i sum 1U > uigur ur jL/cuiiuui Miss Dollie deals only in thumping In tegers. Neither was it a problem in Part nersliip; at one time Miss Dollie though it was, but young Coxe would not solv< the difficulty in that way. Wo shoulc nay it certainly was entirely a question o * Interest, if Miss Dollie did not clain there was so much affection involved in it; and there is no affection in business, Was it worked out by Algebra? It look? like an equation, but with "Dollie"' and Coxe as known quantities and x as th< unknown quantity, how could you fine the value of x to be twenty thousand dollars? The sum is too hard for us. W< are glad we shall not be on the jury whe will be asked to work it; for solve it in some way they must, although very likely they will not get the same answer thai "Miss Dollie" got. It is a question ol damages, ? damages which should bt itemized;?to wounded heart, so much,? to hopes blasted, so much,?to injuries inflicted by gossip, so much, etc. As a question of Profit ami Loss, the jury should also assoss the value of all that Miss Dollie gave young Coxe?"the smiles, the tears, the kisses sweet," the "favours secret, sweet and precious" which are generally supposed to be conferred by loving maidens on their swains. But how can r jury appraise a smile at higher than barroom rates, which are ten cents a smiled As for the value of tears, the jury will be called on to decide whether they were common, cheap salt tears, or pearly teardropswhich should be assessed at a mucl: higher figure; but how can they decide xinlessMiss Dollie's tears have been kepi "in a bottle ?" The kisses?what standarc of value can the jury apply to them ' Nothing is so dear, and yet nothing is s< cheap as a kiss. Nothing in the markei fluctuates in value so much and so often Its worth depends largely upon the value set on it by the recipient. The kiss, foi instance, which the bridegroom receive! from his blushing bride, how much dear er it is to him than are all the kisses h< receives that day from her sisters and he: cousins and her aunts. "Ae fond kiss' is said to be moro precious than rubies while a stolen kiss is worth ten thousanc freely bestowed. Difficult it would be t< place the right money value on Miss Dol lie's kisses. .And yet a money standarc has sometimes been applied, as recently in London at the French Bazar, wliei Sara Bernhardt charged from one to tiv< sovereigns for one of her kisses deliverec to tho purchaser not 011 his lips but on th< edge of his coffee-cup. The price of 1 kiss delivered by ''seductive Sara" 021 th< lips was not quoted in tho market. Th< famous Duchess of Gordon raised a regi ment of Highlanders for the king's ser vice by giving each recruit the king'! shilling and n kiss from her own rip< lips. The kisses of tho Duchess wouli seem to have been more highly valuec than were Miss Dollie's; the Duchess en liated a regimeut, but Dollio failed to en lista man. Laying all joking aside, however, w< do sincerely hope that when the case is tried the jury will take all these thing? into consideration. If they will only d< so they will come to tho conclusion a which we have arrived, that by 110 arith metico-psychological method of compu tation can they assess in money the dam ages suffered b}r Miss Dollio. To hel] ilium 111 liieil ui'iiut'iauuu nu nvuiu 10 mind them that by a recent act of tin British Parliament no action can lio to breach of promise of marriage except ii cases whoro actual pecuniary loss wa suffered by the plaintiff. If Miss Dollic lost money by Mr. Joseph Coxe, as, lb instance, in purchasing her bridal trous seau, then the jury would be right ii levying a tax on Coxe's pocket to defray such exjtenses. If it was an affair of th< heart and not of the pocket, it is not pos mi bio for any jury to assess the damages ii money. Several hard and unanswerabh questions have been asked ? one wounded spirit who can bear ?" anothe "Say, canst thou minister to a mind dis> eased?" We add another,?"The dama ges done to slighted affection, what jun can compute?" We hope the jury in thi; case will give Miss Dollie Price thever diet and ten cents damages, and thui leave her without money and him with out Price. Two or three weeks ago some one entem Mr. J. R.

In terms of high and, .' we believe, just praise, our contemporary j recounts the distinguished services done i his State by General S. MeGowan and nominates him for our next Governor. ?; Some time ago the Jicanfort Crcxccnl put j his name forward for the same office and J - J some other newspapers in the State en>" dorscd the nomination.

Other Journals liavo placed other moii| ,; in nomination?General Ilagood, General j T Gary; anil it is said, too, that Judge Wal-. | lace is a candidate for the same oilice. | ! Is not all this rather premature? For j | aught we have heard or read, the present ' I incumbent, Governor W. D. Simpfnn, lias not signified his refusal to ho re-elect- ( ed. IIo served two years as IJeutenant! j Governor after having fought a good fiiiht -1 at Hampton's side during the campaign ! I of '7<>. lie is now acting as Governor by j courtesy, the elected Governor having gone to the United States Senate. Should he desire to he elected as Governor at the ' next election, wo know not any man in 1 South Carolina whom wo should support more heartily, or who would bo moreacM ceptable to the whole people, or whose election would bo more beneficial. During his current term he is ruling thisj Stato well ; peace reigns within her bor5 dors; there is concord between the two races: the laws are respected and admin-1 istered, and order prevails. We do not j J know Governor Simpson's intentions or desires, but if ho should bo a candidate for re-election we would vote for Simp- j son. A man of steady head and strong . lionrl r\F lirtrifrlif (i)inMfl(l- fill fl llnllleiri , l islied name, South Carolina could have no better Governor. But even supposing that Governor t! Simpson intends to leave the Chief Mag11 istrato's chair, is it wise or necessary to; I j , j bring forward nominations so long before the election?so long before the ConvcnJtion? Would it not bo wise to leave j something for the Convention to do? Isj | it wiso to break the peace which our ? | people are enjoying and sot the political I j pools astir by casting in pebbles of nom, j ination? We thank the Columbia licgin# j tcr for its words in reminding our people . | that this is an "off vo ir," and counI selling them to let politics alone a little! 5! while longer, and attend to tho peaceful j t pursuits of business, and especially to j make this a "Fair Year,"?a year of great | j and successful agricultural fairs in State . | and Count}*. This is good advice, and is j tho course which is being pursued by , Abbeville County. Abbeville County t has no candidate for State olllces, so far as we know. We hope our good friend ? tho Newberry Nacs ivill tako note of> j this. That journal published lately with j j; a "wo understand" a list of threo Abbe-i y I villo candidates?for Governor, Attorney-1 x j General, and Adjutant-Gencnil.

Softly, j! friends; Newberry is some distance from f Abbeville, and the Newberry Ncwx pub,! lished it only as matter of hearsay, and , only very sharp cars could have heard, so for away from Abbeville, what was ; not uttered here. Lay It to the account of I Newberry "cars," not to Abbeville > "cheek." Neither by tho Abbeville ' j I j newspapers, nor by word-o'-mouth can [ we learn anything about Abbeville can, j didates except this?that the}' are not. J '[The Grcenvillo and Columbia Railroad. P We aro <lclighted to see from our cx| changes that the present Railroad autliori itiesare looking after tho interests of the I company and the people. A new depot is being built under General Conner's orders at Seneca Cit}*, and freight will bo recoived at that place from tho Air Line . Road. We hopo that tho officers of the road will now look after the local travel in this section. Tho following paragraph P is from the Greenville Keus : i The officers of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, Gen. Conner, Mr. Tcm' plo and Mr. linger, aru preparing to ' make such changes in the working of the s Road as will remove all cause of reason} able complaint by farmers and merchants Wo feel authorized in saving now that no etlort will i>ospared to inane me Jioaci: 1 popular with the peple. Tho courtesy of , these officers is already winning tho good 1 opinion of all with whom they corne in . contact. We venture tho statement that ' farmers and other shippers in Laurens, f Abbeville, Edgefield, Newberry and An) derson counties, will not bo cut oil' from ^ trade with Greonvillo with exorbitant freights, or by any want of proper at tention to their claims on the Road. Wo ; hopo in a few days to be able to say much more on this subject. s From tho Anderson Journal wo also . take the following paragraph: 2 Gen. James Connor, Recover of the " | Greenville and Columbia Railroad, and , Col. linger, General Freight Agent, were; ' | in Anderson closeted with tho Hoard of| ; | Trado fo* several hours on last Tuesday, j having a consultation on the freight tar! itfs to and from this place. Wo are in3 j formed that satisfactory promises worej - j made on the part of tho railroad authori- ] 11 ties, and our merchants are confident of j , having their heavy fall stocks delivered j 1 ! on eouitable freiiriit rates, and therefore! I j we may expect an increased trade at this 31 point during the next season. II Tho Anderson Intclliycnccr of last 3! week says: 11 The authorities of tho Greenville and ? Columbia Railroad have lota contract to 3 Mr. John Carey, of Seneca City, for the building of a depot at that place, and I work was to have been commenced on it j - on Tuesday. It will be a very great ac-| 3 commodation to the merchants of Ander. son. and Pendleton, as they can hereafter j order their goods from tho West and ' | via Seneca City, instead of by Greenville I: and Columbia*sis heretofore. It is an iin.I provement that should have been made! _ I long ago, as it had been greatly needed I " ever since the completion of the Air Line Road. Wo understand the new Super ) intendent contemplates making many i other i nprovernents in the Road, which will not only increase its business but its ? accommodations as well. We only hope' > we uavc not uuen iiusiiuui im;u. Iii view of the number of suits against - railroads for damages by persons who | . str.nd or walk on railroad tracks, it is! probable that railroad companies will al-1 ? | so institute suits for damages against those | -1 who stand or walk on their tracks and I o! run the risk of injuring a train and kill-1 j ing passengers bv their bodies gtttingi j caught under a train or engine iu motion. 11 ?Greenville Sews. s This brings up the matter of farmers ' allowing their cows to run on the Railr | road tracks. Heretofore if a man chose " j to let his cattle obstruct the passing trains | 11 and they happened to throw them down r t embankments endangering tho lives of 3! passengers, tho farmer sued the Railroad " i authorities for the value of tho old cow I I 1 j killed. A greater outrage was never by j 3 j law perpetrated against any corporation, j L | Instead of giving the Railroad authori-1 r j tics tho right to sue tho farmer for throw- I j ing their train off the track, and allowing j - j injured passengers to ?ue under criminal f | prosocutions the law make? the Hailroud s j pay for the cow. We hope to see the tiino -j in this country when Railroad corpora-j *'tions will be allowed soino equitable -1 rights.

There is little wonder if seven;l of then "jot badly linrued. Besides his 1' ]>nl]nt duties, ho had ii stock farm in j V Guilford, two farms in "the hills," and aj? good deal of Interest in (lie "Boston liuckhoard Wagon Company." Mr. Murray P* id so had the Golden Hide. on his hands, |T and still other enterprises. One clay last j U week, one of Mr. Murray's checks was'y "thrown out" hy a hank cashier. Tliisj was the first brick in a line of misfor- * tunes that stood ready to tumble upon ci each other, and quickly Mr. Murray found the shcri.T after his "five handsome stallions," his mowing machine, 11is cattle011 the Adirondack hills, and his tl stock in the "Bnekboard Comjiany."

It depends al- j together on what tlio irons are, as to J whether or not a man has too many ofisl them in the tire. It will be difficult tojP lind one too diligent and earnest aboutjn the proper business of life.

W A . I! 'cmpleton, read a paper on "Education" a -a title not snlliciently attractive lor tho| v linirable essay lio read. Tho subject light l?e mofo fully described as a rcie?* of the present system of education v i South Carolina, to which was added a e ironj; plea lor a State University. ^lr. v enipieton discussed thoroughly and u iiceinctly the public school system, h ointing out its deficiencies and suggest- ii ig some desirable improvements;?a c iibiect with which as a school Trustee of d jveral years' experience, he is quite fa- ti liliar. Jle then advocated the claims of y igher education as obtainable in high li Ghouls, colleges and universities. His a rguincnts were strong, his idei's sound t! nd excellently well expressed. In mak- tl ig his urgent" plea for re-opening the e tato University, the essayist paid just li Dtnpliments to the denominational col- ti >ges and claimed that there was room s >r all ot them awl more; mat mo um- u orsilv should not be regarded as likely 1: > supplant these admirable colleges; p nd that they should not be looked on as p substitute for the university, but as s eeessaiy training schools, intermediate v ctween tho school and university. Mr. p 'enipleton discussed tho whole subject h f "Education"?usually considered the s riest of dry subjects?in a most enterlining and instructive manner, reading p no of the best essays tiie Club ha.\ yet 11 stened to. After the reading of tho os- s iv t Capt. L. W. White, in complimentary |i rms agreed with the essayist in his a pinions. He pointed out its the chief ji Lumbling-bloek in tho way of a good 11 uM.ie school system the presence of two 1; nces not in the least homogeneous. Ho I xpressed a preference for the old South '1 'arolina College. Referring to the pre- s sneo of the demagogues who cry down li lie university as an institution for tho t enelit of the rich, he mentioned as a tri- c mphant refutation the names of McDuf- I e, Petigru, Tliornwcll, tho two Ward- t uvs, Meintningor, some of whom had ecu poor beneliciarios of tho College. I Rev. It. N. Pratt endorsed the essayist's n iews on higher education and denomi- c ational colleges, and hoped soon to see t stablished on a good foundation the c outli Carolina College or tho Slate Uni- t ersity, hediil not care which. c Mr. Hugh Wilson thought the univority a necessity, and did not think that r lie enormous sums that had been spent e y this State and county on the common chools had proved to bo a good investment. He did not think the returns ,-ere good. Mr. J. Fuller Lyon agreed with Mr. Wilson, only a little more so, and was v lad the claims of tho university had j t een so strongly urged by the essayist, j f Maj. A. 15. Wardlaw thought itof moroj " nmediato importance to open tho nni-j<! ersitv than to cover the land with com-1 <' ion schools. Ho believed with Dr. s 'hornwell that knowledge grows or i ows downward, comes from tho univer- t ity to tho college, high school and com- d ion schools: that tho metaphbrical ar- d ument was a sound one which says that f Lrht comes from above and tho streams I low from the mountains. In reply to11 lio demagogues whose trick is to say the! (3 niversity is for tho rich, lie would ro- r lind thefu that on one occasion, while 1 rcorge McDu(fie was slicddingilnstro on '1 is State, there w.?s soino opposition by ' >e demagogues of that day in the Log-is- i ituro to the appropriations for South t Carolina College, when Mr. Huger, of 3 harleston, rose and brushed the opposi- t on away by saying that if the College t ad done more no than to educate and M end forth George McDuflio, a poor Ab- t eville boy, the State had been amply a aid for all the money it had contributed, t Mr. Gcfirge White said heynly wished f j thank the essayist lor his excellent pa- j l er and to express his hope of seeing the u niversity re-opened. 1 Mr. \V. II. l'arker com batted tho ideaje lat the ability to read and write was ed- t cation, or tin; lack of it a sure sign of c jnorance. He gave instances of men in [ is acquaintance who could not make t licit* sign manual and yet were men of 1 reat intelliger.ee. lie dilfered from a ( ertain gentleman who had stated at the I 'eachers' Association that the white pcole of our County were very ignorant. r The Chairman here assured Mr. Parker f hat tho gentleman ho referred to had a >ld him in private that ho alluded to the i ick of "book-learningthat ho consid- a red the people of Abbevillo County as head of the State in general intelligence 1 n d hard sense.

James S. 0. Richardson. In tlio Sumter Watchman of 21st lust, ro iiml an eloquent and touching, yet ricrited and impartial tribute to tlio memrv of this distinguished lawyer, from ho pen of John J. Dargan, one of the ediors. Mr. Itichanlson died at Rockbridgo I Hum Springs, Virginia, whitfier he had one for health and rest. From Mr. Par'an's memorial of him we take tlio following extracts: James S. G. Richardson was born on lie 17th day of April, 1815, near Uloomlill, in tliis County, lie was the son of a ilanter, William G. Richardson, and a icpliew of JudiceJohn S. Richardson, lis father being poor, he was deprived of ne advantages 01 a conegiaic education, ncl after a lew yearn of instruction in tliej oinmon schools of his neighborhood, ho pphed himself to the study of law, and . as admitted to practice in ISlio, in the :M year of his age. The opening of his career at the bar i'as marked by no brilliant speeches or xCraordinary professional feats. There ,:is no unusual promise of future greatess and success, but unobserved at first, o quietly, earnestly and persistency ursued his professional studies. In the nurse of time the conviction began to awn upon the l>ar and tlie people, that here was growing up in their midst a oung man who was destined to tako a igh position in his chosen profession, nd a place of usefulness and honor in lie community in which he lived. From lie commencement of his professional arecr Mr. Itichardson seems to have set icforc himself, as the goal of his ambiion, and the only object worthy of puruit, a professional success and reputaion, based upon a profound knowledge of iw, and the soundest and loftiest princiiles of morality?and to this end ho apl'u'd his ouurgies and his talents. The mall tricks of the legal profession by rliich lawyers sometimes gain the npilause of the unenlightened multitude, e always discarded with an irrepressible corn. Hence it was that amid sickness and miu?almost without a parallel in the anlalsof human suffering?in cloud and in u'tishine ? over .all difficulties, and hrotigh many and grievous trials, ho apilied himself with unabated resolution nd assiduity to the study of the princiiln!' .Tni'iwnm/lniwn T.nw wnQ hi him mt a trade out of which to make money, nit a science by which justico and true iberty were to bo obtained and protected, .'o sa\' that his manly perseverance amid o much that was calculated to discourage lim brought at last its reward, is but amclv to express the nature of the sucess ho achieved. Me found himself long 10fore liis death at the topmost round of lie professional ladder. Misfortunes could not subdue him. )iiliculties could not daunt dilm. The nost excruciating and protracted physial suffering could not conquer his ma'jesic patience, nor rob him of his gentle ourtcsy. Fame couid not call him from ho path of duty, but he commanded it to omo to him and it obeyed. Sumter claims all honor for the mcmny of James S. (i. Richardson, her greatstand hernoblest sou. The Yazoo Business. The Republican press and politicians rill lose much ol' tlio ammunition which ho Yazoo county outrage would have urnished them, by reason of the unalimity which lias been manifested in the (enunciation of th'3 outrago l>y the Demicratic press, North and South. A crime uch as that c.m only be charged in fairless to a county, a Statcora section when he mass of the people of cither of these livisions seek to palliate, apologize lbror lefend it. In this instance not only the widers .?f thought in tlio Democratic arty in the country "and in the South, nit even those in Yazoo county denounc(1 the wrong and the responsibility for it cats solely ".pou those who were aetualy engaged in the perpetration of it. .'hov and their act have been repudiated >y the majority of their fellow countrymen?better men and better Democrats han they?by the Democratic party of ilississippi, of the South and the eounry. It is no argument against the Church hat bad men are found in it; it is no ar;nment against a circuiting medium hat it is'counterfeited. and ny more is it n 'irfriiinfill turninwt tlu? hoinnrM'yl ir? n-n'. y that hot-heads and oven murderers arc mind within its ranks. The party, as ? >arty, is responsible lor the acts of those inly whose acts it endorses, and if this imposition is true tlie Democratic party anuot certainly ho held chargeable for heso late outrages, since its presses fro in me end of the country to the other, have >ut forth unanimous denunciations of hem. As to the feeling in Mississippi, icrc for example, is an extract from the )x/oril Mifflc, one of the most intensely Jcmocratio papers in the State: "The little handful ^f threo hundred ioters in Yazoo county e no criterion rom which to judge oi' the Democracy of k whole State. The party, as such, is in 10 way responsible for it. She rcpudi;tes all such acts." And to this we addan extract from the lli.tfli.s.vippi ; "The Yazoo affair has excited considerable comment. We allude to the act of ho citizens of that county forcing Dixon o come down as independent candidate or sheriff. It is is all wrong?it is wrong 11 principle, in political morals, wrong in >olicy.

His plans l'or this railway have not 'boon exactly completed, lo has, however, gono fai enough to dcnonstrate, to his own satisfaction at least, ho entiro feasibility of tiie marine railvay. He will submit his plans to the [overnmentat an early day, and expects o secure national co-operation in his vork. Captain Eads purposes to take a hip out of the water on ono side of the sthmus and transport her across m less lian twenty-four hours, without injury rom straining or otherwise, tho cargo to cmain intact. The ship, after being iikcn out of the water, is to be placed in i cradle. Tho railroad tracks will be erfiictly straight, and havo no eliange of ;rade in them. Ho would avoid curves >y turntables and a change of direction vhc'Ti necessary. Turntables that Van be lovaced atone end and deprossod at tho itlier are to overcome tho grade. He does lot expect a grade anywhere of over fifty tot to the mile. His"railway would cost no quarter as much as a canal, ho estinates, and could bo finished in one tjuarer the time. He says ho has talked with apitalists and others in New York and lsewbero about this marine railway.

Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE. | Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. I HAIN in the risht side, under the IT edge of the ribs, increases on pressure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken j for rheumatism in the arm. The i stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness; tbe bowels in gen- 4 eral are costive, sometimes alternative | with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy ? sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sensation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an 7 attendant. The patient complains of * weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa- f lion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to him, yel he can scarcely summon up fortitude p enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts " every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them existed, yet examination of the body, a after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged.

'PHK worlr originally published under the J tiiie of t!.c NEW AMERICAN UVCU>IVEDIA was commenced in 18o8, since which g time tlic wide circulation which ithas attain- 1 ;d in all parts of the United States, and the E signal developments Which have taken place I In every branch of science, literature and art, have induced the editors and publishers to V submit It to an exact and thorough revision, lud to Issue a new edition, entitled TOP AMFRTPAM P.VP.r.nP4?.nTA J.UU aiUUXVlVAll w X VUV1 XUl/XUl Within the last twenty years the progress of discovery In every department of knowledge hus made a new work of reference an Imperative want. _ The movement of political affairs has kept y pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the Industrial and useful arts and the convenience and refinement Dl' social life. Great wars and consequent revolutions have occurred, Involving national changes of peculiar moment. The civil war of our country which was at Its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, hus happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and Industrial activity has been commenced. LARGE ACCESSIONS TO OUR GEOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE HAVE BEEN MADE. At The great politlcalVevolutlonsof thelastdecade, with the natural results of the lapse of time, iiave brought into public view a multl- rr tude of new men, whose names are In every H one's mouth, und of whoso lives every one Is curious to know the particulars. Great battles have been fought and important selges maintained, of which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but which oughtnow to TAJCE THEIR PLACE IN PERMANENT AND AUTHENTIC HtSTOKY. In preparing the present edition for the press, it lias accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish an accu- /I rate account of the most recent discoveries In V science, and of every fresh production In literature, and of the newest inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original UEqoni) OF TIIE PROGRESS OF POLITICAL AND HISTORICAL EVENTS. The work was begun after long and careful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful termination. None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but EVERY PAGE IIAS BEEN PRINTED ON NEW TYPE, forming, in fact, a new Cyclopaedia, with the same plan and compass as Its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements In its co i position as have been suggested by long experience and enlarged knowledge. THE ILLUSTRATIONS, WHICH ARE INTRODUCED FOR THE FIRST TIME g in the prescntedltion, have been added not for the sake of pictorial cffect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations In the text. They embrace all brunches of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkabje features of scenery, u architecture and art, as well as the various *processes of mechanics and manufacturers. Alt hough In tended for instruction rather lhau embellishment, aI NO PAINS HAVE BEEN SPARED TO INSURE *' THEIR ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE. ?, The cost of their execution is enormous, . and It Is believed they will find a welcome re- f ecption as an admirable feature of the Cyclopa;dla and worthy of Its high character. THE AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA IS NOW COMPLETE in sixteen large octavo _ volumes, each volume containing over 800 pagfS, fully illustrated by several thousand _ wood engravings,and with numerous colored 1 lithographic maps, the whole costing thopub- 1 Ushers a sum exceeding Five Hundred Thou- M sand Dollars, cxcluslvcof paper, printing and binding. 1 Pricc and Style of Binding.
