Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on the 4th of July, 1626. John Adams died in his ninety-first year, and was eight years older than Thomas Jefferson ; Thos. Jefferson was eight years older than James Madison ; James Madison was eight years older than James ^[on- roe ; James Monroe was eight years older than John Q. Adams. The first five of our Presidents — all men of the Revolutionary epoch — ended the terms of their service in the sixty-sixth year of their age. First Seven Presidents. — Four of the seven were from Virginia ; two, of the same name, were from Massa- chusetts, and the seventh was from Tennessee. All but one were sixty-six years old on leaving ofiice, having served two terms ; and one of these who served but one term would have been sixty-six years of age at the end of another. Three of the seven died on the 4th day of July, and two of them on the same day and year. Two of them were on the sub-committee of three that drafted the Declaration of Independence, and these two died on the same day and yeai* the anniversary of the Declara- tion of Independence, and jiist half a .century from the day of declaration. Of the first five only one had a son, and that son was also President. Religion of the Presidents. — The religious belief of the eighteen persons who have filled the Presidential chair in the United States, as indicated by their attend- ance upon public worship, and the evidence afforded in their writings, may be summed up as follows — Wash- ington, Madison, Monroe, Harrison, Tyler, Taylor and Buchanan were Episcopalians ; Jefferson, John Adams, John Q. Adams and Fillmore were Unitarians ; Jackson TREASURERS OF THE UNITED STATES, m and Polk were Presbyterians ; Mr. Van Buren was of the Dutch Reformed Church ; President Pierce a Trinitarian Congregatiorialist ; Lincoln, Presbyterian ; Johnson and Grant, Methodist. Blue Eyes. — It is said that all the Presidents of the United States, except General Harrison, had blue eyes. Among the great men of the world the blue eyes appear to have been predominant. Socrates, Shakspeare, Locke, Bacon, Milton, Goethe, Franklin, Napoleon and Hum- boldt, all had blue eyes. Treasurers of the United States. Samuel Meredith 1789 Thomas T.

Since the organization of the Federal Government eleven at- tempts have been made to resist its authority. The first was in 1782 — a conspiracy of some of the officers of the Federal Army to consolidate the thirteen States into one, and confer the supreme power upon Washington. The second in 1787, called Shay's In- surrection, in Massachusetts. The third in 1194, called the Whisky Insurrection of Pennsylvania. The fourth in 1814, by the Hartford Convention. The fifth in 1820, on the question of the admission of Missouri into the Union. The sixth was a col- lision between the Legislature of Georgia and the Federal Gov- ernment in regard to the lands given to the Creek Indians. The seventh was in 1830, with the Cherokees in Georgia. The eighth ■was the memorable nullifying ordinance of South Carolina, in 1832. The ninth was in 1842, in Rhode Island, between the Suf- frage Association and the State authorities. The tenth was in 1856, on the part of Mormons, who resisted the Federal authori- ties. The eleventh was the late attempt at Secession. 134 HAND-BOOK OF STATISTICS.

PASSAGES FROM THE LIFE OF CHARLES KNIGHT, Publisher, Author and Leader in the Work of Popular Edu- cation ; Editor of the "Penny Encyclopaedia," "The Libraries of Useful and Entertaining Knowledge " and " The Popular History of England." Revised and Abridged from the English Edition. Large i2mo, about 450 pp. With Portrait. The life of a man like Charles Knight, who may be said to have founded that system of Popular Education which brings the highest literature of the language within the reach of the lowest of the people, should possess a special interest for readers in a nation at the basis of whose institutions such a system must lie. The publication of the " Penny Encyclopaedia " and " The Library of Useful Knowledge " completely revolutionized the whole method of teaching the Eng- lish people. Mr. Knight was, perhaps, the first to perceive that text-books alone could not supply all that was necessary to the development of popular in telligence. What was required to supplement the text-books had hitherto been accessible only to the wealthier classes, but in the admirable series of works planned by Mr. Knight, the clearest scientific information on the one hand, and on the other a knowledge of the higher litei-ature, were placed within the reach of every member of the poorer and working classes. Apart from this work, Mr. Knight's life was interesting from his association during a most important half century with nearly all classes of the leading and thinking men of Great Britain. The stoiy of his labors is simply and dramat- ically told in his own language, which has been left unchanged as far as was consistent with the slight abridgement that it has been considered advisable to make from the more voluminous English edition.
