Par'k, Esq., oflbr splendid inducements for the next three months to parties wvishing to introduce their books .which were adopted by the State Board of Examiners. Swinton's books are nil admir'ably adapted forI schools, and( they have already attained immense sales. Uis history of the United States Isa~slenodid compendium of the leading events in our country's history. No useless verbiage Is in dulged in, anid the language used1 is adapted to the ciapacities of the pupil. Professor Swinton was a war corre sp)ondenit in Vi rgiiam throughout thle war, and an aridenit admirer of McClel Ian and Lee, while for Pope and such fellows lie had a supre'me contempt. * ~ Shortly after the surrender lie publish ed a book entitled "The Twelve Deci sivo Battles of the War," which was p)roniounced the most accur'ate and the fairest that had appea'red. His history is often quoted ini reply to some of Grant's mnunchanseonisms about the losses in his battles. After the war Mr. Swintonm was mnade a pirofessor in the Univer'sity of Callfornila, but lie resigned his position, anid has since c n gaged In complilinlg school books, lie is.an admirabile book-mnaker', and the acloction of his series by the Board was ceminentlyjudicious.
