Kit-r^l accordin:; to Act of Con:;ress, in the year 1859. by IML\Y & BIOKVKLL. in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States, In and for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. AN INSTRUCTIVE REVIEW OF THE ORIGIN OF THE COINS OF THE WORLD. It may not prove uninteresting to take a brief revie-w of the origin of Coins, and of the causes wliich led to their invention. In the early ages of the world certain commodities were exchanged for others. This sys- tem is still adhered to where coined money, or its modern substitute — bank paper — either is not known, or circulates to so limited an extent as not to meet the wants of the people. This is the case, in some degree, in the sparsely settled portions of oiu- own country. Trade, so lonw as it was restricted to mere barter, or exchange, must have been subjected to frequent in- terruptions. The extreme inconvenience attending the making of such exchanges, must, at an early day, have occupied the thoughts and attention of the most enlightened and practical men, and, as a consequence, plans were devised to avoid, or at least to render the operations of daily business, less harassing and perplexing. This led to the introduction of the use of the baser metals, in their rough and rude state. These, when so- ciety was semi-barbarous, and its wants few, sufficed for the purposes of trade ; but, as civilization advanced, wealth increased, and commerce extended, these metals were cast aside as too heavy and bulky, and the more precious — silver and gold — were brought into requisition. Even these, when they first began to be used as money, or as a standard to determine the value of other articles, were in an unfashioned state, in bars and ino-ots. This practice was open to serious objections, the chief of which was, the utter impossibility, in general cases, of ascertaining the purity of the bar with sufficient accuracy to determine its actual value. It is most likely, too, that the operation of assaying was imperfectly understood in ancient days ; or if known, the know- ledge was confined to a very few persons. Hence it followed, that the only mode in determining the value of an ingot of gold or silver was by its iveight and the colour of the metal. A limited experience would show the extreme liability to err by a dependence on such guides. In order to remedy this evil, the aid of those "skilled in metals" was sought, and a plan adopted by which all could tell, at a glance, the value of the piece. This plan was the issuing of Coins, or minute pieces of metals, each bearing a stamp declaring either its weight, purity, or value. Before the introduction of metals as a circulating medium, an infinite variety of articles were used, in different countries, to serve the purposes of exchange among many nations. Shells, Fruits, Crrain, Salt, Cattle, tf-c, are still employed as substitutes for money. In portions of Africa, Shells are the common medium of exchange, and are denominated Cowries. In Siam and Congo, Shells, under the names of Bangs and Zimbis, are the general currency. Arabian Almonds, in some parts of India, are current at a certain rate. In the early settlement of this country, specie being scarce, private as well as public debts were frequently settled by the payment of Cattle, Tobacco, Skins, Sfc, at established prices. In Mexico, a country aboimding in silver and gold, it is said. Cakes of Soap, in lieu of the smaller pieces of coin, often change hands. The earliest mention of money is in the 23d chapter of Genesis : "My loi-d, hearken unto me; the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver." "And Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant." These are supposed to have been mere lumps of metal, without any impress or mark, which passed by weight only, as the term shekel, (which after- wards became the name of positive coins of gold and silver,) from Shakal, to weigh fully, implies. Originally, the coins of all ancient countries seem to have had the exact quantity of metal indicated by the name, and IMLAY AND BiCKNELL'S COINS OF THE WORLD. served as weights as well as money. Thus the Drachma was a weight used in the earliest periods by the Greeks, and is the name of a silver coin of the present day. The As or Pondo, by the KoMANS. The Livre by the French, and the Pound by the Scotch and English. The next allusion to money in the Sacred Writings, is in the Book of Job. The money there alluded to is, by some, supposed to be the ordinary shekel, stamped with the image of a lamb, and called Kcsitah. Others, again, imagine that the Kesitah was not a piece of coin, but in fact a lamb, for ear-rings are mentioned in the same payment, which were, without doubt, the early ring-money of the East, the exact representation of which is displayed upon the hieroglyjjhic sculp- tures and paintings of the Egyptians. The rings "seem to have been formed of wire bent into circles, but not fastened, so that they could with ease be made into a chain, from which portions could be detached at pleasure." Similar rings are still current in NuBiA. On the western coast of Africa, common twisted gold wire, pounded into rude rings, is still used in lieu of coined gold. After the time of Jacob, the shekel, if it had ever borne an impress, became again the simple weighed piece — Shekel ha kodesh, or shekel of the sanctuary. It would appear, however, that as commerce became more extended, the pieces of silver necessary to carry on trade became vastly increased in number, with a cor- responding diminution in size ; for we read, that the five Philistine lords, when endeavouring to decoy Samson, the terror of their nation, tempted his favourite, Delilah, by the offer of a large sum of money, which, when she had consented to be a party to the destruction of Samson, they "brought in their hands," it is presumed to the amount of their offer, "eleven hundred pieces of money" each. It has been disputed, and is still matter of doubt, to what nation must be attributed the first invention of positive impressed Coins as money. The authorities upon whom most reliance can be placed, generally agree that to the Greeks, from whom have sprung so many of the great features of civilization, this honour belongs. It is true that some have suggested, that the Persian Darics of gold and silver — the coins of the Phoenician colony at Malta, and the brass money of Italy, were minted prior to the earliest known Greek coins ; but these positions are not well supported by facts, as in neither of these cases do we find a gradual development of the art of coining, from the simple stamping of the lump of metal on one side only, through all its changes and improvements to that of the perfect coin ; while the coins of Greece, on the contrary, exhibit the whole and gradual progress of the art. In all the instances referred to, perfect coins only, though in the Maltese case exceedingly rude, have been found ; serving to prove that the art was received by them in its already perfected state. Indeed, so far as the Persian Daric is concerned, it is evident that they were simply Grecian coins of the maritime provinces, impressed by the Persian symbol of the archer drawing his bow, retaining, as they did, the Greek standard weight and value, and were issued after the Persian subjugation of Asia Minor. The existence of these coins only proves that some of the Greeks of Asia Minor, most likely the Lydians, had an early gold coinage. The Numismatic Journal, an able European publication, states, in reference to the attempt to establish the true origin of coins, that according to the Parian Chronicle, a record of the third century before Christ, Phidon, king of Argos, in order to facilitate commerce, stamped silver money in the island of ^gina, in the year before Christ, 895. Now, as Homer existed immediately prior to this epoch, and makes no mention of coined money, whilst he does mention the system of barter, we may infer that it was unknown in his time ; for it is impossible to imagine a writer, by whom no art or science has been overlooked, to have passed over so useful an invention as stamped coin, had it existed. In the time of Lycurgus, which followed that of Homer — cei'tainly not later than a century, though there is some diflSculty in ascertaining a more positive date at present — it is equally certain that gold and silver coin, as money, existed in Greece, as proved by his law prohibiting their use- in Sparta, and substituting iron : probably rings, similar to the iron ring money of the early Celtic nations, of which specimens have been discovered in Ireland. This brings the introduction of coins between the epochs of Homer and Lycurgus, in fact to the precise period assigned to the invention of Phidon ; and the coins of ^gina, from the rudeness of their devices, and imperfection of their execution, may fairly be supposed to be of the age in question. This, compared with the assertion of the Parian Chronicle, the silence of Homei-, and the law of Lycurgus, seems fairly to authenticate the claim of Phidon, and to establish the origin of the first cur- rent money as having occurred nearly nine hundred years before the Christian era, in the island of ^gina. " The art of impressing a seal or signet was an understood sign of solemn compact from the earliest periods, and engraved seals were early in use ; and from this circumstance was probably derived the idea of stamping or sealing a lump of silver or gold, as a guarantee that it was of a certain weight, upon the faith of which stamp it passed as such. It is in this form that the first coins appear. The symbols with which they were first stamped were nearly always of a religious character, possibly to add additional weight and sacredness to the fact of such sealing or stamping ; and these symbols or images of gods, it has been observed, may possibly IMLAY AND BICKNELL'S COINS OF THE WO^LD. account for their being placed in tombs with vases and other sacred symbols, from -which custom many fine specimens have been preserved to us. Lucian has supposed they uere so placed for paying the passage of the dead over the river Styx. The fiction of Charon, however, is of more recent date than many of the tombs in which coins have been found. Coins were, at first, stamped only on one side ; but eventually, by degrees, we find the art of stamping both sides discovered. No portraits occur on any coins previous to the Egyptian and Syrian dynasties of Macedonian princes, whom the flattery of their subjects had raised to di\-ine honours ; previously to which, the nearest approach to portrait was obtained by representing a Jupiter or other deity in the features of the sovereign to be flattered. The Greek colonies of Sicily and Italy eventually surpassed the mother country in the beauty of their coins, of which many exquisite specimens, pai'ticularly of Syracuse, are to be found in collections in England." Enj;. C. The early currency of what is now the United States, was furnished chiefly by Great Britain and Spain ; but the wants of the colonists were so great, and the foreign coin in the country so limited in amoimt, that Massachusetts, notwithstanding the opposition of the Home government, and despite the threats of the Crown, determined to establish a mint of its own. It conmienced the issue of shillings and smaller pieces in 1652. These continued to circulate freely in the colony which issued them, and in the neighbouring provinces they were generally taken, at their nominal value, in business. It is said that Charles II. was much displeased with the colonists in Massachusetts on account of their coining this money, which he considered a breach of his prerogative, and threatened to Sir Thomas Temple, that they, the colonial authorities, should be punished. Upon which Sir Thomas took some of the pieces from his pocket to show to the king, on the reverse of which was a pine tree,* (from which came the name of pine tree coins, by which these were generally denominated,) one of that species of pine common in the colony, that grows flat and bushy at the top like the Italian pine. The king asked what tree it was; upon which Temple replied, of course it was the Royal Oak, which had preserved his Majesty's life: upon which the king said no more of punishment, but laughing, called the coiners "honest dogs." The Massachusetts mint, not meeting with very serious opposition, continued for some years to put forth coined silver, and in coiu'se of time the "prerogative" of royalty was invaded by some other of the colonies. These were the only emissions of coins of the precious metals previous to the independence of the Colonies, and the establishment of the National Mint. Shortly after peace was declared, the incipient measures for this establishment were taken by Congress, but it was not untd early in 1792 that the, measure was consummated, and a code of laws enacted for the regulation of the mint. In 1834, an efibrt was made, which finally proved successful, either to reduce the quantity of pui'c metal in our gold coins, by the substitution of alloy, or decrease their weight. This change was grounded on the fact, that the proportionate value of gold to silver being lower in the United States than in European countries, our metallic currency became almost exclusively a silver one, the gold being shipped ofi' to Europe, because furnishing the most profitable remittance. A law was introduced into Congress, in the summer of 1834, and passed, reducing the weight of the Eagle to 258 grains standard, and 232 grains pure gold, and the shares in a like proportion. Thus the standard, which before was twenty-two carats fine, (that is, twenty-two parts pure metal, and two parts alloy,) was now 21 carats 2^5 grains; increasing the value of gold about 6| per cent. Again, in 1837, it was found advisable to slightly amend existing laws, in order to assimilate the coins of gold and silver ; that is, to make them of one purity — one part of alloy to nine parts pure. This system has decided advantages over the old, as it simplifies the calculations of value, and is in other respects to be preferred. [For the following present correct standard 6neness of Gold, Silver, and Copper Coins of the United States, we gratefully ucknowledgo our indehtedness to the Hon. J.

Silver. — The Act of January 18, 1839, fixed the weight of the Silver Dollar at 412J grains, at which it yet remains ; but the law passed in 1853, Feb. 21, reduced the weight of the Half Dollar to 192 grains, and the lower denominations in proportion. Copper. — The Cent, or one hundredth of a Dollar, weighs 72 grains, and is composed of 88 per cent. Copper, and 12 per cent. Nickel.

The Mint is now, and has been for a number of ye^rs past, under the management of Hon. James Ross Snowden, the Director of the Mint and its branches. In the year 1835, it was found expedient to establish branch Mints, which, by act of Congress, were created and located at Charlotte, North Carolina; Dahlonega, Georgia; and Neio Orleans, Louisiana. The latter "for the coinage of gold and silver," and the two former for "gold only." These branch Mints are governed by the same laws as the principal Mint, and are "under the control and regulation of the Director of the Mint at Philadelphia, subject to the approbation of the Secretary of the Treasury." After the necessary buildings and machinery had been erected, the branches went into operation in 1838. The coinage of the Mints is uniform. The issues of the branches undergo regular and systematic assays and tests at the parent Mint, as prescribed by the law establishing them. A branch Mint at San Francisco, California, was authorized by an Act of Congress, approved July 3, 1852. It was completed and commenced operations on the 3d day of April, 1854. The Assay Ofiice at New York — authorized by the act of March 4, 1853 — commenced operations on the 10th day of October, 1854. REMEMBER THIS, The words, or initials, on coins are generally thus distinguished : When they occupy theyic-W, and are written across the coin, tlicy are called an Inscription ; but when they run round the marijin, or on either side of the figure, they are deuominated a Legk.nd, and they are thus called when they are upon the exerr/ue, which is at the bottom of the piece, commonly separated from the field by a line. The side of a coin on which the portrait is delineated, is termed the Face or Obverse, and the opposite side the Reverse, July, 1792. July, 1795. Oct. 1795. July, 1805. July, 1824. July, 1835.

The institution did not, however, go into operation until the following year. 6 IMLAY AND BICKNELL'S COINS OF THE WORLD. NEW CANADA COINS. The new coins issued in England for nirnulation in Canada, have made their appearance in that country, and some of them have crossed the border and reached our citizens. Several seta of these have been obtained by the Director of the Mint, to whom frequent inquiries have been made as to their value compared with our own silver coins. In order to give information un this subject, Mr, Suowden has furnished us with a statement from I lie Assayers of the Mint, which we herewith present to the public : Assay Office, U. S. Mint, Feb. 17, 1859. Hon. J R. Snowden, Director of the 3Iint, ^c. Dear Sie : — In compliance mth your request, "we present tlie folloTving statement in regard to the new issue of silver coins for the Canadas, by the British Government. You are aware that the coins have been awaiting some previous formality of proclamation, and have jusj; been put in circulation. Consequently, we have been able to obtain but very few specimens. Our examination will afford, however, a satisfactory con- clusion as to the intended standards of weight and fineness ; and will answer the question, whether there is a designed conformity to the currency of the United States. In respect to nomenclature, they have abandoned shillings and pence, and have adopted a decimal system ; in accordance with which, there are thi-ee silver coins, of twenty, ten, and five cents ; besides, copper cents, which we have not seen. The amount of coinage is said to be quite large. First, as to weight, they do not harmonize with us. The average indicates a standard of fifteen hun- dredths of an ounce (three pennyweights) for the twenty cent piece ; the smaller pieces in proportion. Our half-dollar being 40 hundredths, would make 16 hundredths for 20 cents. Next, as to fineness, they do not harmonize with us. They adhere to the British or sterling standard of 925 thousandths fine. This is a de- parture from the decimal system of nine-tenths, which, being practically the standard in almost every country of North and South America, may be considered American. Thirdly, in respect to value ; this must be stated in two ways. If it be asked, what is the intrinsic value, as compared with om* coins, then the 20 cent piece falls below two of our dimes, by three-fourths of a cent, nearly. If it be asked, what will their 20 cent piece, full weight, produce at our Mint, at bullion price, then it is worth 18| cents, nearly. It is, therefore, not in- terchangeable with our currency. But by a calculation based upon the intrinsic relations of the British coinage to our own, (so as to be able to turn pence into cents,) we find the 20 cent piece is regulated in its weight by the silver shilling, and is in due proportion thereto ; or so nearly, that the advantage of having an even number of pennyweights, was taken into account. AVhat efiiect it will have upon the currency of the two countries, especially along the boundary line, to have two kinds of dimes, it is not easy to foresee. Very respectfully, your obedient servants, j. r. ecefeldt, Wm. E. Dubois.

IMLAY AND BICKNELL'S COINS OF THE WORLD. 53 THE JEWISH SHEKEL. (Originals kindly furnished by Hon. J. Ross Snowden, Director of the Mint ) ,1 Although the Shekel (a Hebrew word .signifying to weigh) was an ancient measure of gold and silver currency among the Jews, there does not ap- pear to hiive been a Coin of that name, until permission was given to Sinum Maccabceus to coin money by Antiochus Sidetes in the year b. c. 138. (See 1 Miiccabees, chap, xv.) The permission was soon revoked ; but a few of these pieces have survived to our diiy, and above is the engraved copy of one in the cabinet of the U. S. Mint, procured at a high price some years since, through the agency of a gentleman connected with the American Legation at Constantinople, an eminent connoisseur of antiques. Simon did not choose to put his own effigy on the coin nor that of the Syrian mon- arch. On one side is the budding md of Aaron, with the legend * Jeru.-^alein the Holy ;" on the other a cup of incense or pot of m;mna, and " She- kel of Israel." The legends are in the Samaritan character, Hebrew being then obsnlete in Judea. The value is about 56 cents ; or, at the present high rate of silver, near 59 cents. In currency it agreed with the silver stater or tetradrachm, (nr piece of four drachms,) then and afterwards al»un- dautly coined by the Greek and Gri'oo-Syrijin dynasties. The Syrian stater was the "piece of money " mentioned in the New Teitament, Matt. xvii. 27. The term Shekclhud then passed out of use. There is in existence a shekel with Ih'Urcic legends, to the same purport as the foregoing. It is well known to be an imposture ; a pretty old one, however, having been made two or three centuries ago ; it is therefore, quite a curiosity, and a copj' of it is also given below. The same piece is to bo seen in the Mint Cabinet. Hebrew Shekel, not authentic. THE WIDOW'S MITE. The " Widow's Mite," in the Mint collection attracts so much nl- tentjon, that we herewith give a copy of it. It is a bronze composition, and the siuallest of ancient coins, weighing onlj ten grains. It was © P found near the site of the ancient temple of Jerusalem, and there ari.' sniid reasuns for affirming that it was a Ze/?(on, (translated * mite,"; diiting as f;ir back as the Christian era.

COIXS OF JAPAN. Thk Publishers have ocpasinn ngain to express their clieerful thanks to the Hon J. Ross Snowden. Director of the Mint and its hrnn'-hes for the Fi'liowiiio- interesting paper on the suhjeot of the Moneys jind Coins of Jap:m : ms also for the nso of the original coins, us minted hy the Japan- e.-'e government, and from which the annexed accurately executed plates were taken hy the distinguished Artist and Engraver. K. Rogers. Ksq. This ]iaper is valuable for the information it affords to the man of business, and to the public generally : and the fac-similes of the C's(;j!K^," a cast- ing of red brass, oval and thick, measuring two inches long,and a little more than half as wide, with a hole in the center. Finally there are pieces of four, and one p'senny circular, with holes in the center, and scarcely to be distinguished from the well known Chinese cash. The composition of these coins, a subject falling within our particular province, has been to some extent examined. The cobang and itzebu, as was observed, have the appearance of fine gold ; and it is said, are regai-ded at home as being of high quality. But it is only necessary to scratch away the surface, to discover that the Japanese understand the process of pickling, well known to workers in jewelry, whether in America or Asia, or even in the center of Africa. Trusting to the somewhat permanent effects of "hard biting," they have not even added copper to mitigate the whitening effect of silver alloy ; the mixture being gold and silver, and not far from equal proportions. The cobang, two pieces assayed, gave 567 J and 568| thousandths fine ; the itzebu resulted 566. These figures indicate a designed, though probably a secret standard. The conse- quent intrinsic values are, according to our Mint rates, and allowing for silver contained, $4.44 for the cobang, and $1.11 (nearly) for the itzebu. It is interesting to observe that, although so ignorant of the methods of other nations, Japan has imitated, and even exceeded them, in the process of deterioration of moneys. About the beginning of the last century, the cobang, quite similar in shape and device to the present piece, weighed 272 grains, was 854 fine, and worth just ten dollars. A century later, it had fallen to 196 grains, 667 fine, and worth (including silver) five dol- lars and seventy-eight cents. The smallest gold coin has not been assayed ; it evidently contains but little gold, and has therefore a forced valuation. The transition to the next piece in order, the largest silver coin, affords a fresh surprise. It is found to be of almost absolute fineness ; that is, 991 thousandths ; and is worth 37 cents. While this proves that the Japanese possess the art of refining, it does not explain why they debase the gold and refine the silver. The .smallest silver piece is apparently not inferior in fineness. The foregoing details will be interesting to the numismatist and metallurgist ; but the fact which remains will excite a more popular attention. It is in regard to the legal relation which these coins bear to each other. Insulated from the rest of mankind, the Jap.anese have proportioned gold to silver according to their own ideas of use and state of supply. The gold and silver itzebu are, as is stated, interchangeable; that is, a piece which is worth in our eyes 111 cents, (and to a Japanese worth nearly as much as two of our gold dollars, because he supposes it to be much better gold than it is,) buys no more than a piece which, with us, would be 37 cents. The Spanish or Mexican dollar they consider equal to three itzebu; which is three-fourths of a cobang, or $3.33. The abundance of gold, or scarcity of silver, which creates such a strange ratio, would no doubt be promptly corrected by foreign traders, for the sake of the enormous profit. But unfortunately there is a stringent law against the exportation of coin, which makes it very difiicult even to get a few pieces for assay. For our facil- ities in this respect, we are indebted to the perseverance of a gentleman who is interested in the collection of rare coins, and to his correspondent abroad. What relation the oval piece of brass, which passes for "one hundred p'senny " bears to the itzebu, we are not informed. It weighs only about six times as much as the piece of one p'senny, and therefore bears an arbitrary value; unless brass is there held to be vastly more valuable than an alloy of copper and lead, which appears to be the composition of the coin which stands at the bottom of the scale. J. R. Eckfeldt, Very respectfully, your obedient servants, Wm. E. Dubois. * It may be added ihat ihe ratio ..f gold r.> silver, as deduced from the Coins is 43 to 1. In all other countries it is 15 or 16 to 1. The vast difference is owing to non-intercourse laws and to Ihe product of Japanese gold niincs.

Office of the Controllers of Public Schools, First District of Pennsvltania. Philadelphia, February 9, 1859. At a meeting of the Controllera of Public Shoola, First District of Pennsylvania, held at the Controllers' Chamber, on Tuesday, February, 8, 1859, the following resolution was adopted : ** Resolved, That WORCESTER'S SERIES OF DICTIONARIES be introduced, to be used in the Public Schools of this District." ROBERT J. HEMPHILL, Secretary. WORCESTER'S SERIES OF DICTIONARIES, CONSISTING OF I.-THE SCHOOL DICTIONARY, II.-THE ELEMENTARY DICTIONARY, III.-THE COMPREHENSIVE DICTIONARY, IV.-THE ACADEMIC DICTIONARY, V.-THE CRITICAL DICTIONARY, Is constantly advancing in popular favor. The books have been introduced, by authority, into the Public Schools of Boston, New York, Philadel- phia, Baltimore, Washington, D. C, St. Louis, Chicago, and most of the principal places of the United States. They represent the Orthography and Pronunciation used by the most eminent scholars, both in England and America. The definitions are concisely expressed, and seldom leave anything to be desired. For all school purposes they are the best Dictionaries extant. They need only to be examined to be universally adopted. lEeiEJ^x) THE iFOXiXjO'wiasra- rrEsa?ini^o3^i.^XiS : Hon. Edward Everett says : — " I have made constant use of Mr. Worcester's Dictionaries since their first publication. His orthography and pro- nunciation represent, as far as I am aware, the most approved usage of our language. His defi- nitions seldom leave anything to desire." William H. Prescott, L. L. D., says,— "I have long since learned to appreciate your valuable labors, which have done so much to establish the accuracy of pronunciation, while afi"ording the reader, by the citation of authorities, the means of determining for himself." Washington Irving, L. L. D., says: — "As far as I have had time to examine the Pronouncing, Explanatory, and Synonymous Dictionary, il gives me great satisfaction, and appears to me to be well calculated to fulfil the purpose for which it professes to bo intended — to supply the wants of Common Schools, and to be a sufficient manual for schools of a higher order." Hon. Josiah Quinoy, L. L. D., lat« President of Harvard College, says: — "The public have long since passed judgement on your qualifica- tions, and the lapse of many years has confirmed its earliest decisions." Rev. Edward Hitchcock, D. D., late President of Amherst College, says: — "Having been in the habit of using the Universal and Critical Dic- tionary, almost exclusively, for several years, I shall welcome the new one, with its improvements and additions." Hon. John McLean, L. L. D., says: — "Ever since the publication of your large Dictionary, I have had it near me in my library, and one of the smaller editions I have always had on my table, at every place where my public duties call me." Rev. Eliphalet Nott, D. D., President of Union College, says : — " With the large work {the Uni- versal and Critical) I have long been familiar, and can cheerfully bear testimony to its great merits. It is at once a monument to the honor of its author, and to the country thus signalized by his labors." Prof. C. C. Felton, L. L. D., of Harvard College, says: — "The influence of your works is rapidly extending, in spite of opposition, and I am very sure that your great Dictionary will become the standard everywhere." Rev. William Steams, D. D. President of Am herst College says : — " I have already looked into it (the Academic Dictionary) sufficiently to see that it is a great improvement on your former work, which, to say of any work of the kind, is the greatest praise. Rev. Charles G. Finney, President of Oberlin College, says: — "It is, and timely, a highly im- portant book. It is needed in n«arly every family, and will be much valued by the reader." Rev. James Walker, D. D., President of Har- vard College, says: — "It, (the Academic) is, beyond question, the most convonient Dictionary for the study table, and for common use, which I have yet seen." Hon. Theodore Frelinghuysen, L. L. D., Presi dent of Rutgers College, says: — "I shall prize it as a most valuable help in all its departments." Rev. Daniel Kirkwood, L. L. D., President of Delaware College, says : — " I regard the work as one of great merit, admirably adapted to the uses for which it is designed." Rev. James B. Dodd, President of Transylva- nia University, says: — "For the purpose of convenient consultation, by readers of every class, and more especially by the student who would gain a critical, a practical, and an exten- sive acquaintance with the English and American language, undefiled, there is no Dictionary equal to this." Rev. Benjamin Hale, D. D., President of Ho- bart Free College, says : — " I have used your Dictionary for many years, with great satisfac- tion, and your smaller one I have been in the habit of recommending for the use of pupils." Rev. C. Collins, D. D., President of Dickinson College, says : — " I take pleasure in saying that it (the Academic) seems to me to fulfil the condi- tions of a common reference Dictionary more per- fectly than any one now before the public." Rev. William A. Smith, D. D., President of Randolph Macon College, says : — "lam happy to state that your additions to the plan usually pursued in works of the kind are decided im- provements, greatly increasing the practical value of a dictionary." S. H. Taylor, L. L. D., Principal of Phillips Academy, Andover, says : — " The Dictionary seems to me to combine unusual excellencies, and as a manual for general use, and for high schools and colleges, it has no superior." Rev. Mark Hopkins, D. D., President of Wil- liam's College, says: — "The work seems to me to be very complete, and as well adapted for the purpose intended as anything can well be. I have your large edition in constant use." Rev. Leonard Woods, D. D., President of Bow- doin College, says: — "I assure you that I have found no occasion to alter the favorable opinion I long ago formed of your Dictionaries, in compar ison with any others which I have had an oppor- tunity to examine." Prof. Arthur M. Perry, A. M., Williams's Col lege, says: — "I do not hesitate to pronounce it eminently adapted to high schools and academies. Prof. Samuel K. Smith. A. M., Waterville Col- lege, says: — "It is, in my judgement, the most convenient and valuable Dictionary for the use of those for whom it is especially designed with which I am acquainted. Rev. Alonzo Potter, D. D., Bishop of Pennsyl vania, says: — "Your larger Dictionary has been my principal resource ever since it was published." Rev. R. E. Pattison, D. D., President of Water- ville College, says: — "It is manifestly superior to any other work of the same general design." Prof. S. G. Brown, A. M., Dartmouth College, says: — "It seems to me by far the most compre- hensive and valuable manual that I am acquaint- ed with." Prof. H. H, Barney, A. M., Commissioner of Public Schools in Ohio, says : — " I regard Worces ter's Elementary and Comprehensive Dictionaries as the best school dictionaries extant." Prof. Aaron Williams, A. M., University of Ohio, says : — "It is undoubtedly the best standard which we have, as to orthography and pronunciation." Hon. Horace Mann, L. L. D., President of An tioch College, says: — "In all my writing, speak- ing, and teaching. I have endeavored to conform to the rules for orthography and pronunciation as contained in Worcester's Dictionary." Prof. Francis Lieber, L. L. D., South Carolina College, says : — " I consider it the best of all Amer- ican dictionaries of the English language." Rev, John Wheeler, D. D., President of Uni- versity of Vermont, says: — "I have used Wor- cester's Universal and Critical Dictionary in pre- ference to any other, for constant reference." Hon, Charles Sumner, United States Senator, says: — "The Universal Dictionary I have used constantly, and almost daily, since its publication. I have no hesitation in calling it the best practi- cal dictionary of the English language." Prof. William H. Wells, Superintendent of Schools, Chicago, III., says:— "As a standard of orthography and pronunciation, the compilation of Mr. Worcester is far in advance of all other works of its class." Prof. James T. Champlin, Waterville College says: — "As a medium dictionary for common, every-day use, I know of nothing equal to it." Hon. George Bancroft, L. L. D., says: — "On questions of orthography, I shall make it my standard, allowing myself rare deviations, or per- haps no deviations whatever." Horace Webster, L. L. D.. Principal Free Acad- emy, New York, says: — "Worcester's Dictionary of the English Language has been in use in this institution from its commencement, and is con- sidered a standard work. The present edition, containing the synonyms of the language, is much superior to any former one, and possesses a high degree of excellence." Prof. E. A. Johnson, University of City of New York, says: — "The fulness and compass of the vocabulary, the minute and careful attention be- stowed upon the subject of orthoepy, the propriety of the orthography, the clearness and exactness of the definitions, together with the nice critical notes on unauthorized words, provincial usage, &.C.J which are found throughout the volume, are excellencies which distinguish this above any other dictionary within my knowledge." John S. Hart, L. L. D., Principal of the High School, Philadelphia, says: — "The work of Dr. Worcester, is, in my opinion, one of uncommon excellence. As a pronouncing Dictionary, its value is very great. The principles of orthoepy adopted by the author are sound and conserva- tive, and his method of notation at once complete and simple. The exhibition of authorities, in the case of disputed or doubtful pronunciation, is a source of great satisfaction to the inquirer, giving the means of an intelligent opinion with very lit- tle labor. But independently of its merits as a pronouncing Dictionary, Dr. Worcester's work has a high value as a comprehensive and learned vocabulary of the language, replete with infor- mation, and marked throughout with the logical features of the author's mind." We might fill a volume with similar extracts, but the foregoing will suffice to show that Wor- cester's Dictionaries are regarded by the literary men of the country as tlie standard works of the English language. Worcester's Quarto Dictionary is rapidly approaching completion, and we hope to publish it in May next. We are preparing an edition for subscribers at the low price of $7.60 per copy. It will be printed on extra fine paper, with large margin, as per specimen copy, which may be seen at the Book Store of J. B.

And altliougli numerous imitators have exerted tliemselves to make and vend an article similar in appearance and to effect sales, by using the name of S. J. Bestor on their labels and Boxes, yet AS THE Best, Most Durable, Most Attractive, Prettiest and Most Popular Pen ever sold, In tliis or any other country. ■ ■" Bestor'sGoiden"'^^^^^ And not only beautiful, but is the most Economical Pen that can be used. Though before the Public, but comparatively a short time, yet it has created for itself its own popularity, and wherever introduced or shown, commands an immediate sale. " We assert in all confidence that they are superior to any other Metallic Pen ever before introduced ; and the testimonials we are daily receiving from our Customers and Friends, — Merchants, Teachers of Penmanship, Editors and Book-keepers, corroborate also our assertions. We are confident that they will ultimately supercede all other Pens, excepting the finest gold. The peculiarities of the Golden Pex are numerous. They are well-tempered ani smooth ; are made of the^'ncsi elastic materials, and then plated and pointed with the lest English Gold Finish, giving them a most attractire and beautiful appearance; will not cor- rode, and have never yet failed to give perfect satisfaction wherever used. Nothing, except the finest gold pens, ever before invented in the pen line, can compare ivith them in appearance, quality, economy, sale- ability or cheapness. They are indeed superior, and by many, preferred to a solid gold pen, as t!ie points never come off. BESTOR'S GOLDEN PENS aflbrd good profit to the retailer, and yet are cheaper than any steel pen, because— they will last ten times longer, write smoother, and are every way preferable ; our customers infoi-m ns they can easier retail them at a half dime, or dime even, each, than other pens at a lower price. Their best recommendation, however, is the rapid introduction they are receiving in Schools, Colleges, Banks and Mercantile Establishments throughout the Union, and their construction, elastic qualities, and gold-like appearance, render them not only suitable for every general use, biit universal favorites for all writing purposes. BESTOR'S GOLDEN PEN is destined to be the Pen for the Million, and it is the intention of the Proprietor, that every town, and county, and if possible every family in the United States shall give it use. It is our design to advertise them extensively and thus facilitate their Sale, through our customers in the difi'erent Sections of our country. To do this will require an immense outlay of capital andlabor, but we s hall bring to bear the most generous outlay of means, establisliing a uniform price, at wholesale and retail, and as near as possilile, require all who are our agents, for their introduction and Sale to do likewise. BESTOR'S GOLDEN PEN is put up in a New and Most Attractive Style, being in metal boxes, gilt, to resemble gold, each box containing one dozen, and twelve boxes (constituting one gross,) enclosed in another neat box, appropriately labeled. Every pen is stamped "Bestor's Golden Pen," and every metal bos has the words " Bestor's Gold Metallic Pen" stamped upon it, and none are genuine unless so stamped. J8@» BEAUTIFUL SHOW CARDS ACCOMPANY EVERY WHOLESALE SUPPLY. THE PRIC£ OF BESTOR'S GOLDEX PEN IS Only THREE DOLLARS per Gross, and sent by Mail free of all Expense. fi@-NO ORDERS FILLED FOR LESS THAN A CROSS, -®a And we wish it distinctly understood that our business, being a wholesale one, we send Sample Grosses at a fair retail price only, that they may be seen and their merits tested, hoping for wholesale orders. For wholesale rates address by letter or call in person. If by letter, we shall expect to be informed whether the parties ap- plying, are Merchants, or legitimate dealers either local or traveling, as our wholesale terms are strictly confidential, and we do not wish to take the trade of the country away from our regular customers. Great Inducements will lie made to Merchants, Post Masters, and General Traders, and the most libM'al ternjs will be made to such, our rates being fixed at snch prices as will pay any dealer to order a wholesale supply. / ■ ;: The rbiladeliihia Daily Record says of this Pen — "The latest improvement is the Golden Pen. This Pen is'well tempered, made of the finest elastic material, and jjlated with golden finisli, which at once establishes the fact that it is not liable to corrode, and is therefore much more durable than any pen now in use. Its smoothness, almost equallins that of a gold pen, enables you to write with gieat facility and ease. It is a derided im- provement in the pen line, and is rapidly coming into general use. The advantages it possesses are so ajtparent that they strike the eye even at first view, and one is willing to purchase without wasting any time in trying it. To those who have much writing to do we need not say more." From the Masonic Mirror, Philadelphia —Bestor's Golden Metallic Pen. Our friend S. J. Bestor, 34 South Third Street, Philadelphia, has manufactured a Metallic Pen, which we can with confidence recommend as equal t9 the best finished pen ever used. .We speak from having tried them. They are " H'urrunted superior to any steel pen ever introduced to the public." The pens are covered with a golden finish, which gives them a neat and attractive a|ipearante. They are peculiarly constructed, elastic, and suited for general use. Merchants and others will find it to their in- terest to examine Bestor s Golden Metallic Pens. We could fill a volume with notices we have received of this justly Celebrated Pen, and we may add we have never yet called the attention of the Press to them without receiving the very best recommendations and the praises given them by Gentlemen of prominence in the different professions, are almost innumerable. Marshall Calkins, M. D., and Professor of Surgery in the Eclectic Medical College of Pennsylvania, remarks : — "I have subjected the Golden Pen to severe trial, and am happy to certify that they are the best I have ever used; Their merits if generally known, must secure for them an exten- sive sale." All Orders must be addressed to S. J.
