which society is linked together. No work we have
ever seen is better calculated to inspire and awaken inventive
genius in man than this. Almost every department of human labor is
represented, and it contains a large fund of useful information,

As teachers we know no better remuneration, than for them FIRST to

This work is a rich repository of valuable information on various
subjects, having a bearing on the industrial end social interests
of a community.--PURITAN RECORDER.
