more hereafter. To this are appended the acts of incorporation, under which the proprietors have managed their affairs, their rules and regulations, in a word whatever may be considered to fall within the statistical or business division of the subject. Then there are various reports and other documents, republished, including one of General Dearborn's, full of interest, especially as illustrating the designs and principles of those who have cooperated in the prosecution of this enterprise. Mr. Justice Story's Dedication Discourse (which, we believe, was out of print) is in this Collection.

Then come, what to many readers will doubtless make the most attractive portion of the work, descriptive sketches of the most remarkable monuments which the Cemetery contains, interspersed, very liberally, with accurate wood-cuts. These cuts deserve no little favor. They are, by no means, of the indifferent execution too common among us; great pains have evidently been taken, and that successfully, to make them in reality, what they purport to be, embellishments of the volume, and, moreover, exceedingly valuable representations of matters of fact. The latter part of the work is devoted to a selection of general reading matter, in prose and poetry, appropriate to the design of the volume. It is a little remarkable, how much of this matter has been suggested by Mount Auburn itself, or is connected with the establishment in some way. Almost a literature of itself has gathered about it during the few years of its existence.

We are glad to see an intimation, by the editors of this work, that the proprietors think of surrounding the cemetery with a substantial and elegant stone wall, in place of the wooden fence which now exists. The public at large are interested in all these matters, and they will learn with pleasure, that the proprietors are in good condition for these designs, having, at the close of the last year, funds invested in treasury" to the amount of $11,980. The total cost of grounds and improvements, to that company, is stated at $34,107; 634 lots have been disposed of.
