THE
AMERICAN ALMANAC

USEFUL KNOWLEDGE,

IV PREFACE.
The information relating to the state of education, literary
seminaries, and schools, is highly interesting; though less dis-
criminating than could be wished. A summary of the Statistics
of Education may be seen on the 266th page. If the statements
here given were the correct results of investigations pursued on a
well digested and uniform plan, the information would be highly
interesting. But it is manifest that it cannot be relied on as alto-
gether correct. In many of the States, common schools are
supported by a public tax, or by funds provided by the public, for
the education of all the children within the respective States. All
the children, therefore, who are educated at these schools, are edu-
cated, so far as instruction is concerned, " at the public charge."
In relation to Massachusetts, it is stated, that there are " 160,257
scholars in common schools," and " 158,351 at public charge; " and
in relation to New Hampshire, where schools are supported in a
similar manner, it is stated, that there are " 63,632 scholars in com-
mon sehools," and only M 7,715 at public charge."
The Astronomical Department of this volume has been prepared
by Professor Peirce, from whose reputation as a mathematician and
astronomer the public will expect it to be done with ability and
correctness.
To our correspondents we again express our grateful acknowl-
edgments for their kindness in forwarding information, and re-
spectfully solicit a continuance of their favors.
Cambridge, Massachusetts,
November 1, 1841.

NOTICE
RELATING TQ THE ASTRONOMICAL DEPARTMENT.
The arrangement of the Astronomical Department, by Mr.
Paine, has appeared to me so judicious and so well adapted to the
wants of the community, that I have ventured upon no important
alterations. The mode of calculation has, in almost every case,
been that, which was proposed by him, and the only changes have
been to introduce a table exhibiting the darkness of night, as far as
it depends upon the absence of the moon, and of twilight; to
omit the ephemeris of the Sun ; and to put into a different form the
table of occultations. The equation of time, which was intended
to be retained, was accidentally omitted. But it will be given in
future volumes. Not thinking it would add to the value of the
Almanac, I shall not give the sources from which the calcula-
tions have been derived ; and I can only hope that, from the great
pains which I have bestowed upon them, they will not fall far short
of the accuracy for which they have been hitherto distinguished.
I may also be allowed to take this opportunity to thank my friend
Lieut. Charles Henry Davis, of the Navy, for his valuable assist-
ance in calculating those occultations which were not contained
in the Nautical Almanac, but were derived from the Astronomical
Society's Catalogue of Stars.

FOR THE TEAR
1842,
Being the latter part of the 66th, and the beginning of the 67th,
year of the Independence of the United States of America ;
u the 6555th year of the Julian Period ;
" the latter part of the 5602d, and the beginning of the
5603d, year since the creation of the world, according to
the Jews ;
" the 2595th year (according to Varro) since the foundation
of Rome ;
" the 2589th year since the era of Nabonassar, which has
been assigned to Wednesday the 26th of February of the
3967th year of the Julian Period, which corresponds, ac«?
cording to the* chronologists, to the 747th, and, according
to the astronomers, to the 746th year, before the birth of
Christ ;
" the 2618th year of the Olympiads, or the second year of the
655th Olympiad will begin in July, 1842, if we fix the
era of the Olympiads at 775J years before Christ, or at
or about the beginning of July of the year 3938 of the
Julian Period;
" the latter part of the 1257th, and the beginning of the 1258th
year (of twelve lunations) since the Hegira, or Flight of
Mahomet, which, as is generally supposed, took place on
the 16th of July in the year 622 of the Christian era.

An asterisk (*) prefixed to the conjunction of the Moon with a star or
planet, indicates that the star or planet may be eclipsed in some part of
the inhabited portion of the United States.
The sign -f- is prefixed to the latitude, or declination, of the Sun, or
other heavenly body, when north, and the sign — when south ; but the
former prefixed to the hourly motion of the Moon in latitude, indicates
that she is approaching, and the latter that she is receding from, the
north pole of the ecliptic.

The Mahometan Era dates from the Flight of Mahomet to Medina,
July 16th, A. D. 622.
The Mahometan year is purely lunar ; it consists of 12 synodical
.periods of the Moon, or of 354 days, 19 times in a cycle of 30 years,
-and 11 times of 355 days. The average length of this year is therefore
-3543Q days, which diners only thirty-three seconds from the truth; a
•degree of exactness that only could have been attained by a long series
-of observations. But as no allowance is made for the excess of 11 days
in the length of a tropical year over the time of 12 revolutions of the
Moon, it is obvious that in about 33 years, the above months will cor-
•respond to every season and every part of the Gregorian year.

The unit of altitude at any place, is the height at that place of that
tide which arrives about a day and a half after the time of New or Full
Moon, when the Sun and Moon at the moment of conjunction or op-
position are at their mean distance from the Earth and in the plane of
the celestial equator.
This unit of altitude, which must be derived from observation for each
place, multiplied by the quantities in the above table, gives the height
of the spring tides at that place during the present year.
By the above table it appears, that the highest tides in 1842 will be
those of February 26, March 27, September 5, and October 5.
The actual rise of the tide, however, depends so much upon the
strength and direction of the wind, that it not unfrequently happens
that a tide, which would, independently of these, have been small, is
higher than another, otherwise much greater. But when a tide, which
arrives when the Sun and Moon are in a favorable position for produ-
cing a great elevation, is still further increased by a very strong wind,
the rise of the water will be uncommonly great, sufficient perhaps to
cause damage.
The formula, from which these tides were computed, is, however,
strictly true only for Brest and its vicinity, and must be regarded as a
very uncertain approximation for the coast of the United States.
For Tables exhibiting the rise of the tide, and the differences between
the times of high water at many places on the American coast and at
Boston, see the American Almanac for 1840, pages 7, 8, and 9.

ECLIPSES OF THE SATELLITES OF JUPITER IN 1842,
Visible in the United States, in Mean Time at Washington.
The number of these eclipses visible to us this year will be very
small ; for the declination of the planet will "not, at any time, be less
than 20£° south, so that the planet will only rise a few degrees above
the horizon.

A Table, showing the illuminated Portion of the Discs of Venus and Mars.
The numbers in this Table are the versed sines of that portion of the
Discs, which, to an observer on the Earth will appear to be illuminated,
the apparent diameter of the planet at the time being considered as
unity.
To a spectator on the Earth, Venus appears most brilliant when her
elongation is about 45°, and she is approaching her inferior conjunction,
or receding from it; in the former of which positions she will be this

of his opposition to the sun, being then also nearest to the Earth, which
will not be during this year.

The .Opposition of Saturn will take place on the 3d of July, and
there will be no Conjunction during the year. The Right Ascension of
this Planet will not during the year differ much from 18h., and its decli-
nation will not be less than 22° south, so that it will not rise to a great
height even when in the meridian.
%* Within a few years it has been discovered, that Saturn is not
placed exactly in the centre of the rings. This singular circumstance

was for some time considered an optical illusion, caused by the shadow
of the planet on the rings ; but Professor Struve has ascertained with
the celebrated Dorpat telescope, that the rings are actually eccentric.
The eccentricity is, however, too small to be perceived by any other
than the very best and most powerful telesoopes.
Until very recently it was generally supposed, that this planet was
surrounded by only two rings, But it has lately been shown by
M. Encke of Berlin, that it is probable there are three, and M. Dumou-
chel, of the Roman College at Rome, thinks he has seen several open-
ings in the ring, and that it is more than quadruple. It is reasonable,
however, to suppose, that the real number will soon be determined by
M. Struve, with the magnificent twenty-three feet refractor, recently
constructed at Munich, for the new observatory at Pulkova, St. Peters-
burg.

« Note. — It has been suggested to the Editor that it would add to the
usefulness of the Almanac to insert the variation of the compass in the
preceding Table. In order to enable him to act upon this suggestion
for the next year, observers throughout the country are particularly
requested to communicate to him any magnetic observations which they
may have made. Another suggestion with regard to extending this
Table to some foreign places will also receive, in the next year, the
attention which it deserves.

Dr. Young** Refractions, the Barometer being at 30 inches, and the inter-
nal Thermometer at 50, or the external at 47, degrees; with the corrections
for + one inch in the barometer, and for — - one degree in the thermowu
eter of Fahrenheit. From page 19 of Vol, 1st of Pearson's Practical As»

IV. CONGRESS.
The Congress of the United States consists of a Senate and House
of Representatives, and must assemble, at least once every year, on
the 1st Monday of December, unless it is otherwise provided by law.
The Senate is composed of two members from each State ; and of
course the regular number is now 52. They are chosen by the legisla-
tures of the several States, for the term of six years, one third of them
being elected biennially.
The Vice-President of the United States is the President of the Sen-
ate, in which body he has only a casting vote, which is given in case
of an equal division of the votes of the Senators. In his absence, a
President pro tempore is chosen by the Senate.
The House of Representatives is composed of members from the sev-
eral States, elected by the people for the term of two years. The
Representatives are apportioned among the different States according to
population ; and the 23d, 24th, 25th, 26th, and 27th Congresses have been
elected in accordance with an act of Congress of 1832, one representa-
tive being returned for every 47,700 persons, according to the Census
of 1830, computed according to the rule prescribed by the Constitu-
tion: (five slaves being computed equivalent to three free persons.)
The present regular number is 242 representatives, and 3 delegates.
Since the 4th of March, 1807, the compensation of each member of
the Senate and House of Representatives, has been 08 a day, during
the period of his attendance in Congress, without deduction in case of
sickness; and $8 for every twenty miles' travel, in the usual road, in
going to and returning from the seat of government. The compensa-
tion of the President of the Senate, pro tempore, and of the Speaker of
the House of Representatives, is $16 a day.

Tables on the Revenue, Expenditures, and Debts of the several States
were prepared by the same gentleman, and were originally published in
the Albany Argus.]
1. Revenue and Expesditure* or the Several States.
The first of the following tables is designed to show the whole amount
of revenue annually paid into the Treasury of each State, and the total
sum paid from the Treasury for the support of government. The sums
paid on account of Internal Improvements, and for public instruction,
are not included in this statement. In most cases the items have been
obtained from the official documents presented to the several legisla-
tures at the close of 1840, or the beginning of 1841. Exactness and
uniformity in such a comparative statement, is scarcely practicable,
owing to the different modes of keeping the accounts in the different
States, and the omission in some cases, of the particulars which are
necessary in classifying the items of expenditure.
In some cases, extraordinary expenditures for the particular year
embraced in the table, may show a greater expenditure to each inhab-
itant, than a just comparison would warrant. The State of Maine, for in-
stance, shows an expenditure of more than 63 cents to each inhabitant, -
this high rate is occasioned by extraordinary expenditures, or those that
are not usual in other States. The expenditures of Maine for the pay
of the State officers, the Judiciary, and the Legislature, as given in the
first three columns of Table No. 2, if added together and divided by the
population of the State, will show that the cost of sustaining these three
branches of the government amounts to less than 19 cents to each inhab-
itant. Louisiana, also, which in the table exhibiting the total expen-
ditures of the Treasury, stands at the high rate of $ 1-99 to each inhab-
itant, supports her Judiciary, Legislature, and State Officers by an
1842.] REVENUE, EXPENDITURES, AND DEBTS OF THE STATES. 05
expenditure at the rate of only 33 cento to each inhabitant. In these
expenditures, however, the salaries of the officers only are included ;
the pay of clerks and the contingent expenses not having been ascer-
tained. And it may be that the total expenses of the Treasury, as
given in Table No. 1, may embrace expenditures beyond the ordinary
annual payments from the Treasury, and that the whole number of in-
habitants is not embraced in the estimate.
The Legislature of Tennessee meets biennially, and the sum given
in Table No. I, is one half of the expenses for two years, as shown in
the comptroller's report. The expenditures are consequently only 16
cents and 6 mills annually to each inhabitant.
In comparing the expenditures of different States it should be borne
in mind that those having only a quarter of a million of inhabitants,
must keep in operation all the machinery of a government, and the pro-
portion of expense to each person will be greater in such case, than
in a State with a population of two millions, provided both are managed
with like frugality.

Showing the Amount of Stock immett by the teveral Stale/ in
each Period of Fine Years from 1820 to 1840.
1843.] REVENUE, EXPENDITURES, AND DEBTS OF THE STATES.
Maine. — The receipts are for 1840, and include a Bank Tax of
$40,965, appropriated for schools, and which sum is also embraced in
the expenditures. The revenues applicable to the ordinary purposes of
the Treasury amounted only to about $12,000 in 1840. The Treasurer
estimates the revenue from the State tax, in 1841, at $97,71813, the
sum of $ 3,357-75 having been received in 1840, showing that the State
tax would yield over $100,000. In 1840, there was paid from the
Treasury, for bounty on wheat, school fund, and roll of accounts,
1838-9, $197,226-42, which sum is not included in the expenditures
as set forth in Table No. 1. The amount of expenditures includes
$66,667 78 *' for debt to counties, towns, and individuals " ; the sum of
$ 19,015 for an extra session of the legislature, is not embraced in
the item of $40,687 for legislative expenses, as given in Table No. 2.
In 1835, the Treasury received from the office for the sales of lands,
$ 133,567-55 ; and in January, 1836, the legislature abolished the State
tax. The annual average receipts from lands for the last three years has
been only $ 7,390-70 ; insufficient, says the Treasurer, to defray the
ordinary expenses of the department. The State has a claim against
the general government for $ 500,000, which passed both houses of
Congress at the late session, but was lost in consequence of not being
returned for the signature of the Speaker before the final adjournment
of the House. The payment of this recognized claim will reduce the
State debt to less than $1,200,000. The settlement of the boundary
question would give the State ample resources for the payment of this
debt, from the sales of public lands.
Neic Hampshire. — This State is free from debts of every description
The Treasurer says, " The ordinary expenditures of the State for execu-
tive, legislative, and judicial, and all other State appropriations are
about $ 50,000 annually. Our revenue is derived from taxes levied on
property and polls according to an appraised value. Our State tax for
1840, was $40,000, and for 1841, $60,000. In consequence of our
State legislature holding an adjourned session every fourth year, our
State tax varies from $40,000 to $60,000." The expenses of the
judiciary, in the table, are made up of the following items:
Salaries of the Judges of the Superior Court, . $ 6,200
Justices of the Court of Common Pleas, . . . 1,972
Salaries of the Judges of Probate Courts, . . 4,831
Total, $ 13,003
It is worthy of remark that this State, notwithstanding its disburse-
ments from the State treasury are only about $ 50,000 annually, pays
$1,972 to the Judges of the courts of Common Pleas, and $4,831 to
Judges of Probate j (answering to Surrogates in New York) : — These
are expenses which in most other States, are paid either by suitors,

from the estates of deceased persons, or from the Treasuries of the
respective counties. The sum of $ 90,000 is assessed annually on the
people of New Hampshire for the support of common schools: — in
addition to this, the districts raise by a local tax the necessary amount
to build school-houses and keep them in repair.
The appropriations in 1840, for the deaf, dumb, and blind, printing,
bounties on wolves, &c, amounted to $112,306*52. The State is prose-
cuting a geological survey at an expense of $ 2,000 per annum.
Massachusetts. — In the total amount of expenditures is embraced a
sum for the support of state paupers, $48,300, — bounty on wheat,
$ 12,000, — deaf and dumb, and blind, $ 12,500, — lunatic hospital,
$ 8,000.
The state revenues are derived from the following sources :
Bank tax, . . . . . • $ 332,000
Auction tax, . . . . . 50,000
Interest on land notes, ..... 10,000
Miscellaneous, ..... 4,000
Total, .... $396,000
The revenues fall short of the expenditures ; but rather than resort to
a direct tax, the aggregate of these deficits, being about $300,000, has
been funded and made payable in 1842. The finance committee of the
house, in 1840, recommended the payment of this debt in 1842, and
urged the legislature " to avoid, as equally discreditable and ruinous,
the continual practice of contracting debts for the payment of current
expenses." And the committee add, that " these results can be effected
only by taxation or retrenchment."
The sinking fund provided for the redemption of the scrip issued in
the currency of Great Britain, and lent to the Western Railroad,
amounts to $118,817 75. The item of Judiciary expenses in table
No. 2, is made up as follows :
Salaries of the Judges of the Supreme Court, and District At-
torney, Attorneys- General, and Reporter, . . $ 23,500
Judges of the Common Pleas, ..... 8,750
Judges of Probate, ...... 6,640
Reporters, &c. ....... 11,646
Total, . . . . . $50,536
Vermont. — The principal part of the revenue for defraying the ex-
penses of the government, is derived from a direct tax. The Treasurer
states that the General Assembly, for several years past, has annually
imposed a tax of three cents on the dollar, on the " Grand List" of the
citizens of the State, for the support of government, which raises some-
thing over $ 60,000. Tn consequence of building a new state-house,
r
1842.] REVENUE, EXPENDITURES, AND DEBTS OF THE STATES. 101
and some other extraordinary expenditures, there has been a deficiency
in the revenue for a few years, which has been supplied mostly by
loans from the State School Fund.
Rhode Island, — This State derives from a tax on banks, $24,437*17,
— from lotteries, $ 9,000, — from interest on public deposits, $ 19,295.
In addition to. the expenditures given in the table, there is paid from the
treasury for the support of public schools, $25,125*16. The State owes
no debt, and the people are exempt from any direct tax. In the table,
the sums paid to Senators ( #459) and to Representatives ($ 4,847) only
are put under the head of legislative expenses. In the Treasurer's
statement for 1840, there is an item of $ 10,562*60, " accounts allowed
by General Assembly." In the expenses of State and judicial officers,
the salaries only are embraced. The Treasurer has an item of " or-
ders of the Supreme Judicial Court paid $ 5,564*02, — and another
Court of Common Fleas, $ 3,368 53." Whether any portion of these
orders were given for expenses properly chargeable to the judiciary
system, there is no means of determining.
Connecticut, — This State derives $ 35,000 from a direct tax of one
cent on the dollar of the '< Grand List," — from bank dividends, $ 30,000,
— and from sales at auction, fines, forfeitures, &c, $ 15,000. The State
is free from debt and all liabilities; and has a school fund of over
$ 2,000,000.
New York. — This State commenced issuing stock, in 1817, for money
borrowed to construct the Erie and Champlain Canals. The original
law organized a system of finance, and made such provision for the
redemption of the debt created, that in nineteen years the redemption
of the debt was fully provided for, without requiring any subsequent
legislation, or any additional revenues beyond those set apart by the
law of 1817. There was derived from the revenues set apart, exclusive
of canal tolls, the sum of $5,624,761 ; which exceeds by $276,000, the
whole sum paid for interest on all the money borrowed for the Erie and
Champlain Canals from 1817 to 1838. The amount received for tolls
on these two canals from 1821 to September 30, 1840, is $49,142,722*11.
The debt of New York, as given in table No. 3, ($20,165,254) comes
down to the close of 1840. Since the 1st January, 1S41, there has been
issued to railroad corporations $ 700,000, — making the total of the
State debt, (May 1, 1841,) $20,865,253 92, as stated in the report of
Mr. Hoffman. An act has also been passed (May 17, 1841) authorizing
the borrowing on the credit of the State of $ 3,000,000 more. This will
make the debt, at the close of 1841, $ 23,865,253*92.

year 1826. The sum deposited with the State by the government of
the United States has been invested, and the annual revenue is appro-
priated to the purposes of education. In addition to this the common
schools have the annual interest on a capital of $ 2,000,000, and the
academies on a capital of about a quarter of a million of dollars.
New Jersey. — This State has a debt of $ 83,072 ; but has not issued
stock on bonds. The State receives from dividends on stocks, $ 30,000,
— transit duties $30,276 39; State tax, $20,000. The State pays
$6,16911 to revolutionary pensioners, and deaf, dumb, and blind.
There is expended for state prison, $ 12,416-30.
Pennsylvania. — The amount of expenditures of this State, as shown
in the table, embraces all the payments from the Treasury, except for
schools and internal improvements. The revenues are derived from
dividends on bank stock, $126,522, — auction duties, $96,207, — tax
on bank dividends, $ 80,465, — town licenses, $ 52,749, — retailers*
licenses, $70,971, — tax on writs, $ 37,560, — land and land office fees,
$37,141, and sundry other small items. A tax law has been passed
which, it is estimated, will bring into the Treasury over a million of
dollars annually. The item in Table No. 2, under the head of " Judi-
ciary," embraces,

1842.] REVENUE, EXPENDITURES, AND DEBTS OF THE STATES. 103
Under the act for " the relief of officers and soldiers of the revolu-
tionary war/' pensions and gratuities are paid annually to the amount
of $ 51,989-33. The Treasury also pays $ 369,335 43 for schools.
Maryland, — This State has a revenue from auctions, $ 49,292, —

lotteries, $18,117, — state tobacco inspection, $23,380.
Maryland pays in pensions to officers and soldiers of the Revolution,
$ 13,921 annually.
The stock debt of the State amounts to $ 15,109,026 22. A sinking
fund has been established which already extends to a million of dollars.
And a direct tax has been authorized by the legislature at its session in
1841 ; also a loan of $ 500,000 to meet interest now due on State stock.
Virginia. — This State has an annual revenue from taxes of
$452,598-22, — from bank dividends, $ 84,715-85, — from clerks of
courts, $16,706-71. The interest on the stock debt of the State is
punctually paid in specie, or its equivalent ; the State has productive
available funds amounting to $ 6,980,000, exceeding the amount of its
debt.

North Carolina. — This State has a revenue of $ 83,757*05, derived
from a general State tax, and a tax on bank stock.
North Carolina is entirely free from debt ; and this is owing to the
fact that a tax is annually levied more than sufficient to meet all the
disbursements of the government

South Carolina. — This State, in 1840, derived a revenue of $486,99309
from a general tax. This tax is principally as follows :

On the 30th of September, 1839, the sinking fund of the State
amounted to #1,599,48048; out of which $800,000 of State stock,
issued in 1820, and redeemable in 1840, has been paid. .With the
increase of 1840, the sinking fund still amounts to $ 819,228. The debt
above referred to has been paid by the regular operation of the law
which authorized it to be created, and which simultaneously provided
a sinking fund for its redemption.
Georgia, — No direct information has been obtained from this State
in regard to its debt or the condition of its finances. In Trotter's
" Finances of the North American States/' published in London, it is
stated that Georgia had authorized a loan of a million and a half of dol-
lars to complete the Atlantic Railroad, and that $500,000 of stock bad
been issued previous to 1840. The salaries of the judicial and State
officers are taken from the " American Almanac " for 1841, — and the
expenses of the legislature from the " Tuscaloosa Monitor."
Alabama. — The Governor states in his Message of November, 1840,
that under an act of January 29th, 1840, " to recall and cancel the- un-
sold bonds issued by the State of Alabama/' the directors of the State
Bank had returned bonds to the amount of $ 334,000, — the branch at
Huntsville to the amount of $ 500,000, — and the branch at Montgom-
ery to the amount of $667,000 ; all of which have been cancelled. And
the Governor states that all the bonds remaining unsold belonging to
the State Bank are to be recalled and cancelled. This is a portion of
the seven millions of stock issued for the relief of the State Bank after
its suspension in 1837. The State having previously issued seven mil-
lions of stock on which the bank was based, the outstanding stock
now amounts to $ 10,859,556.
Mississippi. — This State has an annual revenue from taxes of
$127,328-34.
Tennessee, — This State has an annual revenue from taxes of
$150,000, — interest on United States surplus deposits $36,000.
The State pays for costs of criminal prosecutions, $22,742.
In 1838, an act was passed for issuing several millions of dollars of
State stock, for banking purposes, — but in 1840, this act was repealed,
1842.] REVENUE, EXPENDITURES, AND DEBTS OF THE STATES. 105
and a million and a half of dollars in bonds, which had been issued to
the Union Bank were recalled and cancelled.
Kentucky. — This State had a revenue from taxation, in 1839, of
$250,000 on an assessment of ten cents on $ 100; by a law of the last
session this tax has been increased five cents on the $100. The State
has also a revenue of over $ 40,000 derived from taxes on law process,
deeds, seals, &c.
Kentucky has issued several millions of stock for banking and inter*
nal improvements ; and has established a sinking fund for the redemp-
tion of the debts, which now produce a revenue of $ 113,928, and is
to be increased by five cents on $ 100 ; which will produce annually
more than $100,000, making the sinking fund revenue over $200,000.
Ohio. — This State has an annual revenue from taxes of $ 510,939, —
viz. for canal tax, $283,855 ; for Treasury, $ 227,084.
Ohio has a stock debt of $ 13,724,755, on which interest is to be paid.
This State arranged a system of direct taxation when it commenced
borrowing money ; and this provident course has had a favorable effect
on the credit of the State. The Ohio Canal which connects Lake Erie
with the Ohio river, yielded a revenue, in 1840, of $ 425,972*85.
Indiana. — This State has passed an act for laying a tax of 40 cents
on each $ 100 of valuation, and 75 cents on each male inhabitant of 21
years of age. This will produce a revenue of about $ 475,000 ; but, as
the State has a large sum of Treasury notes in circulation, and as
these are receivable for taxes, the principal part of these taxes may be
absorbed in these notes.
The value of the taxable property in the State, in 1840, was returned at
$91,756,019, and the number of polls at $100,000. The amount assess-
ed on property for internal improvements in 1840, was $ 45,878. The
quantity of land taxed in 1840, was 8,273,120 acres. The auditor
estimates that 2,235,906 acres were omitted, and that the revenue has
lost by this neglect $ 23,644, which ought to have been assessed and
collected in 1840. In 1844, an additional quantity of land which has
been sold by the government will be taxable, amounting to 5,623,732
acres, and making a total of over 16,000,000 of acres.
Illinois. — This State, at the late session of the legislature, increased
the tax on property from 20 cents to 30 cents, being an increase of one
third, and the additional 10 cents is pledged for the payment of interests
on the public debt The Michigan and Illinois Canal, on account of
which $4,073,048 of stock has been issued, has a large fund in lands
which were given by the general government to aid this improvement,
and from wjiicha considerable revenue will be realized. After undertak-
ing this canal, relying too confidently on the anticipations of speculators
in regard to the land set apart for its construction, this young State, in
106 UNITED STATES. [1842.
1837, passed a law for the immediate construction of 1,300 miles of rail-
roads.
As soon as the law of 1837 was passed, the same inconsiderate policy
which produced it, prompted the commencement of railroads in every
section of the State ; and the result is, that within three years from the
passage of the law, the State is involved in a debt of over $ 13,000,000,
without having a single work completed and in a condition to produce
revenue to the State.
Missouri. — This State has issued $2,500,000 for banking purposes;
but the whole of this sum has not been sold by the bank for the benefit
of which it was issued. The subject of recalling and cancelling such
portion of the stock as was yet within the control of the bank, was
agitated in the legislature last winter, but no definite action was had in
the matter.
Michigan, — This State has a debt of about five millions and a half of
dollars, and, what is peculiarly unfortunate, the State has lost more than
one third of the proceeds of the stock which has been issued, by the
infidelity and insolvency of those with whom the loans were nego-
tiated ; and even the amount received has not been expended in such
a manner as to yield revenue to any considerable amount. The board
of internal improvement, in a recent report, say, — " We have expended
or wasted, three fourths of our five million loan, and what have we to
show for it? We have finished about forty, — say fifty miles of the
Central, and about thirty-four of the Southern Railroads, and there will
soon be completed the portion of the Clinton and Kalamazoo Canal,
between Rochester and Frederick ; and where are the profits to remu-
nerate the State for this heavy outlay ? "
Arkansas. — The taxable property of the State amounts to $ 23,000,000.
The State tax amounts to $30,000. Bonds have been issued for bank*
ing to the amount of $3,660,000, of which the sum of $ 984,000 remains
unsold.
The land tax in the State is valued at $ 12,541,661, — town lots,
#1,159,000, — slaves, $5,937,933. The number of persons liable to
pay a poll tax, is stated at 10,9"3.

The preceding Tables furnish a view of the Tobacco trade, from 1821
to 1840. ^ .
It appears that during that period, there were exported 1,792,000
hogsheads, valued by the Treasury Department at $131,346,514, being
an annual average of 89,600 hogsheads, or $6,567,325.
During the years 1821 to 1839, (we have not received the account of
1840,) there were exported 788,477 pounds of snuff, and 57,196,254
pounds of manufactured Tobacco ; valued together at $5,556,581.
For the first 10 years of the series, 1821 to 1830, there were exported
824,245 hogsheads of Tobacco, valued at $ 56,889,291 ; and during the.
last 10 years, 1830 to 1840, 967,755 hogsheads, valued at $ 74*457,223,
being an excess in the last 10 years over the first 10, of hogsheads
143,510, or $17,567,932.
The average annual export in the first 10 years was 82,424 hogsheads,.
or $5,688,929; and during the second 10 years, 96,775 hogsheads, or
$ 7,445,722.
The average price during the whole 20 years was $73 21 per hogs-
head. For the first 10 years, $69-11, and for the second 10 years,.
$ 76*83, or if 1,200 be taken as the average weight of the hogsheads,
the price during the 2Q years will be 6 10-100 cents per pound, — first.
10 years 5| cents, and second 10 years 6 40-100 cents per pound.
It is to be regretted that an account of the quantities, of Tobacco, the.
produce of the different States, has not been kept, as the quality of each
varies, as does also the size of the hogsheads.
It will be observed that owing to the short crop in 1839, the average,
price exceeds that of other years very considerably.
It is remarkable how nearly uniform has been the quantity annually
exported for the last .20 years, with the exception of 4 or 5 years.

which receive from the United States the largest share of our export of
Tobacco.

It appears by an article recently published relating to British Com-
merce, that the duty paid in Great Britain, in 1840, on unmanufactured
Tobacco was £3,525,956 against £3,431,908 in 1839. The quantities
imported, in 1840, 35,637,826 pounds against 35,605,223 pounds in 1839
XVI. COFFEE TRADE.
[From Hazard's " Commercial and Statistical Register."]
In reply to an inquiry of a member of Congress relative to the com-
parative prices of Coffee for a series of years prior to, and since, the
act of 1833 abolishing the duties, we have prepared the following table,
— taking the annual reports of the 'Secretary of the Treasury as the
basis of our calculations. We know of no other mode of arriving at the
facts, although we are aware, from the circumstance of the different
qualities of Coffee being all blended together, the average thus obtain-
ed will not probably correspond with the actual price of any particular
quality taken separately. But for the general purpose of the present
inquiry, this mode Of arriving at the desired information may be a suffi-

taken off. By adding, therefore, 5 cents to tbe priceH of exports from
1821 to 1833, the average price per pound based on the valuation by tbe
Secretary may be ascertained.

in the 7 years succeeding 1833, as compared with the 7 preceding it.
The consumption from 1826 to 1832 was . lbs. 276,831,024
Do. 1834 to 1840, . . 558,833,589
Being an increase of .... lbs. 282,002,565
in the consumption of the last 7 years over the former.
The average price of the importations from 1826 to 1832, was 9 3-10
cents per lb.; and from 1834 to 1840, was 97-10, being a difference of
4-10 of a cent per lb. against the latter 7 years.
The average price of exportation from 1826 to 1832, was 10 5-10
cents, and from 1834 to 1840, was 11 5- 10, being 1 cent per lb. against
the latter 7 years.
It would appear from these statements, that since 1833, the amount of
coffee imported, has increased 56 47-100 per cent., while that exported
has diminished 32 12-100 per cent. That the amount consumed has
increased 101 40-100 per cent. That the cost of the article in the places
of growth has advanced, as has also the price in the United States.
The great increase of consumption therefore would seem to have
been induced by some other cause than the removal of the duties,
probably the increase of population ; and perhaps the facilities of trans-
portation enabling it to reach the consumer in the interior at a dimin-
ished expense, while the demand has sustained the price in the market.
The increase of population between 1830 and 1840 has been about
32 9-10 per cent.
The amount consumed from 1826 to 1832 would furnish to each indi-
vidual in the United States according to the census of 1830, 37-10 lb.
per annum ; and the quantity consumed from 1834 to 1840, according
to the population of 1840, would allow to each individual 4 7-10 lbs.,
being an increase in the latter period of 1 lb. to each, per annum.
This is independently in both cases of the consumption of 1833, which
year has been excluded from all the preceding calculations.

Schools for the study of law are much less frequented than schools
for the study of the other professions. The first institution of this na-
ture, of much note, that was established in the United States, was the
Law School at Litchfield, in Connecticut, which had from 1798 to 1827,
730 students ; but it is now discontinued.

Remarks.
The Colleges marked thus (*) are under the direction of the Baptists; thus (f) Epis-
copalians ; thus (I) Methodists ; thus f$) Qathslics.
With respect to the Colleges which are unmarked, the prevailing religious influence
of those that are in the New England States, is Congregationalism ; of the most of
the others, Presbfterianism, Norwich University, Vt., is an institution recently estab*
Kshed by the UnwersaUsts.
By students in the above table, with an exception of a few of the Colleges in the
Southern and Western States, is meant undergraduates, or members of the four colle-
giate classes ; not including such as are pursuing professional education, or such as are
members of a preparatory department.
The whole number of students on the Catalogue, including those of theology, low,
and medicine, as well as undergraduates, in Harvard University, in 1840, was 448 \
in Yale College, 574. In the University of Pennsylvania, in 1841, in the Collegiate
Department, 116, in the Academical Department, 316; in the Charity Schools (Eng-
lish), 153 ; and in the Medical Department, 410 ; — total, 895.
Some of the Colleges above enumerated, are not in full operation j and scarcely de-
serve a place in the Table. Several other Colleges have been incorporated, which
are not yet fully organized.
The column of Libraries includes the number of volumes in the College Libraries
and in the Students* Libraries. In some instances, the number of volumes in the ftu*
dents' libraries exceeds that of the college library.

133 UNITED STATES. [1842.
The information exhibited in the preceding table hai been derived
from the official statements contained in the Annual Catalogues of the
several Colleges, mostly for the College years of 1838- 9, and 1839-40.
The sums are to be regarded as the average necessary expenses for the
several objects. The college charges, included in the first three col-
umns, are subject to comparatively little variation ; but the other ex-
penses are much more liable to change. With respect to several of the
colleges, the expenses for washing, wood, and lights, are not mentioned.
Other necessary expenses, not specified in the table, are such as relate
to text-books, furniture of rooms, clothing, journeying, and pocket-
money, all which vary according to circumstances, and the habits of
individuals.

Catholics. — The first Catholic Bishop in the United State* (John'
Carroll, D. D., of Baltimore) was consecrated in 1790. The Catholics
increase rapidly, almost exclusively by emigration frorfl Europe. They
have now 16 dioceses, 1 archbishop, 13 bishops, 3 coadjutors: and,
according to the " Catholic Almanac," for 1841, 512 churches and
chapels, 394 stations, 545 clergymen, 17 ecclesiastical seminaries, 18
colleges, 31 female religious institutions, 49 female academies, 72 char*
itaMe institutions, and 8 periodical publications " devoted to the cause
of Catholicity."
Catholic Ecclesiastical Seminaries with the number of students, as
stated in the " Catholic Almanac " ; — Philadelphia (22) ; Baltimore
(16) ; Emmitsburg (20) ; Frederick (20) ; Charleston (6) ; Parish of
Assumption, La. (9); near Bards town, and at St. Rose, in Washington
County, Ky. ; Cincinnati ; Vincennes (9) ; the Barrens (12,) Mis-
souri.
In the Table of Colleges, on pages 128- 131, 10 Catholic Colleges
are enumerated. In addition to these, 6 or 7 others are enumerated in
the " Catholic Almanac " ; but they do not appear to be yet properly
organised as colleges.

visiting the different parts of the country.

The above statements of the number of churches, ministers, and
members of the several denominations, have been derived chiefly from
recent official documents published by the different denominations ; but
the last column contains rather a vague estimate which was made a few
years since, and has appeared in various publications, of the total num-
ber of people who are attached to or show a preference for the several
different religious persuasions.

Remarks. — Highest degree, 96°. Lowest do., 19°. Coldest month,
January. Hottest month, August.
The above is an abstract of daily and detailed observations for the
year, carefully noted by myself, agreeably to the indications on this sub-
ject given in the " Regulations of the Medical Staff of the U. S. Army."
As it respects temperature, the year 1840 may be considered an av-
erage one in this locality ; but in regard to weather, the proportion
of rainy and cloudy days to fair, has been greater than usual ; the pre-
vailing vrinds, also, which are usually south and southwest during the
hot season, have this year been east and northeast, as will appear in the
table.

who sits as chief justice of the Court of Common Pleas, and of two
county judges, generally appointed from among the yeomanry, whose

New Jersey is one of the few States of the Union that has not in-
curred a permanent debt; while the improvements in canals and rail-
roads have been perhaps as great as in any State, in proportion to extent
and population. The State derives an income of more than $ 40,000
annually for dividends and transit duties paid by Railroad and Canal
companies ; which, with a State tax, varying from $ 20,000 to $ 30,000,
is sufficient to pay all public expenses.
Public Schools.
The School Fund, now about $320,000, to the interest on which is
added about $ 24,000 for bank tax, allows a distribution of as much as
$ 30,000 to the different counties for the support of public schools. The
counties have the power to increase the sum received to an amount
double of their respective quotas, a privilege which being almost univer-
sally used, increases the fund devoted to this purpose to about $ 90,000.
Amount of the School Fund, Oct. 15, 1839, $287,287*61 : — Oct 15,
1840, $ 319,802-63 : — increase during the year, $ 32,515 02.

{ John Robertson, do.
A Circuit Superior Court of law and chancery is held twice every
year iri each county and corporation ; the courts sitting until the busi-
ness is despatched.
The judges who hold the Circuit Courts, are also required to hold,
every year, two terms of the General Court in the Capitol at Richmond.
It is the duty of fifteen of the judges to attend this court, eleven being
necessary to form a quorum. One term begins on the last Monday in
June ; the other, on the 15th of December. The judges are required to
arrange themselves into four classes, of five judges each, one of whom
is exempt, in rotation, from attending the court.
The General Court has appellate jurisdiction in the last resort in
criminal cases ; also original jurisdiction of probates and administrations,
and some claims of the Commonwealth. Its judges, or a portion of them,
sit as a Special Court of Appeals, in cases in which the judges of the
Court of Appeals, proper, are disqualified by interest or otherwise.
County Courts.
A County Court sits in each county every month, held by four or more
Justices of the Peace. TheBe courts, formed of plain farmers or country
gentlemen, are invested with a jurisdiction wider than that of any other
court in the State, covering almost the whjle field of cognizance, civil,
criminal, legal, and equitable. Their civil jurisdiction is over all causes
in which the value exceeds $ 20. They, exclusively, try slaves for all
offences ; and they examine free persons charged with felony, previously
to their trial in the Circuit Court.

Jan. — At Bath, in England, fn her 88th year, Madame Iterances
D'Arblay, a distinguished authoress of the last century. She was the
second daughter of Charles Burney, Mus. D., author of the History of
Music. She was born in 1752 ; married, in 1793, to A. P. D'Arblay, a
French emigrant artillery officer, (afterwards General D'Arblay,) who
died at Bath in 1818. She was entirely self-educated, having never
been placed in any seminary, or put under any governess or instructor.
Her first novel, " Evelina,*' which was published in 1772, anonymously,
was favorably received, and it was highly commended by Johnson and
Burke. " Cecilia,*' her second novel, was published in 1782 ; " Camilla/*
in 1796 ; " The Wanderer," in 1814 ; and Ber *« Memoirs of Dr. Bumey, ,,
irf 1832.
April 2. — At Brighton, England, in his 73d year, Sir Richard Phillips.,
formerly an eminent bookseller in London, and author and editor of various
publications. He was a native of London ; his original name is said to
have been Philip Richards ; and he was self-educated. He spent several
years in the early part of his life in Leicester, variously employed, in teach-
ing a school, in trade, and in' conducting a newspaper. In 1796, having
returned to London, he established the " Monthly Magazine," which at one
time had a great circulation ; and he carried on, for some years, a very
extensive business as a publisher, especially of school books, among which
were the school books written by Dr. Mavor, and some edited by himself.
In 1807, the Livery of London elected him their she i iff for the ensuing
year; and, on occasion of going up with an address from the corporation,
he received the honor of knighthood.
April 30. — At Caen, in France, aged 62, George Brummett, the cele-
brated " Beau Brum me 11," and the associate of George IV., when Prince
of Wales. He had long been in distressed circumstances, and, latterly,
confined in a madhouse.
May 3. — At Paris, aged 70, James Moris on, of London, a native of
Aberdeenshire. He styled himself " The Hygeist," and was the vender
of the " Vegetable Universal Medicines," commonly known as " Morison's
Pills." He realized great profits from the sale of his medicines ; and is
said to have paid the. English government, since 1830, the sum of £60,000
sterling for medicine stamps.
May 14. — In London, aged 69, Sir William Bolland, Baron of the
388 " FOREIGN OBITUARY. [1842
Exchequer ; a man much respected for bis talent*, learning, and amiable
and excellent character.
May 26. — At his residence in Paris, aged 76, Sir William Sidney
Smith, Admiral of the Red in the Biitish navy, and Lieutenant- General of
the Royal Marines. He was one of the most celebrated naval officers of
the last age ; and he distinguished himself on various occasions by his
talents and courage. In 1S39, a work entitled " Memoirs of Admiral Sir
Sidney Smith, K. C. B. &c," in 2 vols., by £. Howard, Esq., in which it
is said : — "In his person, though he has not revived the age of chivalry,
he has shown what is the real splendor of the chivalric character. All his
public actions seem to have been less the offspring of mere military calcu-
lation, and naval science, than of the intuition of the most romantic courage
and the highest moral feeling, always controlled by prudence and intrepidity,
that no danger, however sudden, could surprise, and no difficulty, however
menacing, vanquish. In all the relations of life, he was esteemed just,
charitable, and more than safely generous. He was not deficient in a cer-
tain conversational eloquence, and displayed much facility in composition.
As a friend, or as an enemy, there were few who could excel him."
June 20. — At Paris, in his 79th year, Pierre Claude Francois Daunou,
Peer of France, Member of the Institute, and Perpetual Secretary of tbe
Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Letties, in which office he succeeded
the illustrious Silvestre de Sacy, in 1838. He was born at Boulogne, in
1761 ; was Professor of Theology, at Montmorency, at the commencement
of the Revolution, in 1789 : was elected a member of the National Con-
veution in 1792; afterwards held various public offices; and was editor of
the " Journal des Savants," from 1830 to 1838. He was a laborious wri-
ter, chiefly in periodical works, as the " Journal des Savants/ 7 " Biographic
Universeile," and " Histoire Litteraire." A memoir of him, in the " Jour-
nal des Savants," has the following remarks on his character : — " Those
who know hkn only by his writings, admire his vast learning, his pure and
elegant style, teeming with the best traditions of the last age, and the just-
ness of his political and literary opinions ; but few could duly appreciate the
simplicity of his manners, his rare modesty, his strict disinterestedness, and
above all, that benevolence which, triumphing by degrees over his natural
timidity, imparted to bis exquisite politeness all the charms of affability."
June 29. — At Viterbo, near Rome, in his 66th year, Lueien Bonaparte,
next brother after Napoleon, and after him, the ablest and most ambitious
of the family. He was born at Ajacio, in Corsica, in 1775; became, ifl
1795, a commissary of the French army ; in 1797, a member of the Coun-
cil of Five Hundred, of which body he was made President ; by bis aid,
Napoleon was raised to the office of First Consul, and Lueien soon after
became Minister of the Interior, in the room of the celebrated astronomer,
Laplace. But the brothers soon quarrelled ; at length Lueien was ordered
to quit France, and, in 1804, he went to Rome ; and afterwards he retired
to an estate at Canino, which the Pope raised into a Principality. From
1843.] FOREIGN OBITUARY. 289
1810 to 1814, he resided in Shropshire, in England, and here he completed
his poem entitled " Charlemagne, or, The Church Delivered," which was
first published in London, in 1814 ; and was translated into English verse
by Dr. Butler, (late Bishop of Lichfield,) and Mr. Hodgson.
After the escape of Napoleon from Elba, Lucien hastened to join him at
Paris, and showed greater devotion to the imperial cause than ever before.
He afterwards returned to Italy, and devoted the remainder of his days to
literature and the fine arts. He was twice married, and left one child
by his first wife, a daughter, Letitia, married, in 1821, to Thomas Wyse,
M. P. for Waterford, Ireland ; and he left three sons and three daughters by
his second wife. His oldest son, Charles Lucien, now Prince of Canino,
married, in 1822, his cousin, Charlotte Zenaide Julie, the oldest daughter,
and now the only surviving child of Joseph Bonaparte, Count of Survilliers,
ex-king of Spain.
June 29. — At Turtle River, N America, aged about 32, by his own
hand, Thomas Simpson, a native of Dingwall in Scotland, and the compan-
ion of Mr. Dease in the discovery of the Northwest Passage. The party
reached Turtle River on or about the 28th of June, and, in a fit of mental
derangement, Simpson shot two of the company, Messrs. Bird and Legros,
and in the morning he shot himself. He had been, for four years, actively
and laboriously engaged in the prosecution of the discoveries which have
immortalized his name, and for which he is represented to have possessed
uncommon qualifications. From the beginning of the journey, he is said
to have manifested occasional symptoms of mental alienation.
July 7. — At Malvern, in England, in his 59th year, John Banks Jenkin-
son, D. D. t Bishop of St. David's and Dean of Durham and Brecon, cousin
to the late Earl of Liverpool, Prime Minister, to whom the Bishop was
chiefly indebted for his preferment.
July 28. — At Cowes, England, John George Lambton, Earl of Dur-
ham, aged 48. He was the eldest son of Wm. Henry Lambton, of Lamb-
ton Castle, in the county of Durham, and by the death of his father, he
inherited, at the age of five years, a large estate. On attaining his major-
ity, he was elected member of parliament for his native county; in 1823,
he was raised to the peerage ; on the formation of the administration of
Earl Grey, (his father-in-law,) he became a member of the cabinet, as Lord
Privy Seal, and had intrusted to him, with Lord John Russell, Sir James
Graham, and Lord Duncannon, the preparation of the Reform Bill. The
liberality of this measure is attributed mainly to Lord Durham, who is stat-
ed to have proposed also the plan of taking votes by ballot, and induced his
colleagues to adopt it ; but, at the desire of Lord Grey, it was excluded
from the bill.
In 1838, Lord Durham went out as Governor-General to Canada, intrust-
ed with extraordinary powers ; but, finding himself not so well supported
in his measures as he expected, he returned home the same year, and soon
25
■ \
990 rOftUMT OBITUARY* [1843.
afterwards published his Report on Canada, which the " Morning Chron-
icle" characterizes as " one of the most masterly and statesmanlike surveys
of a country abounding in all manner of anomalies, that was ever executed."
Lord Durham was regarded as the leader of the reform movement, and
his talents and merits-were very differently estimated by different parties.
" His 6delity to his party and principles/' says the Examiner, " has passed
through trying ordeals, and passed inviolate. If, as alleged, there was
much vanity in his nature, with what bruised vanity must he have returned
from Canada ; but, in the glow of his resentment, he never for an instant
forgot the interests of his party, and the interests of the people, which he
believed bound up with them." " No man," says the Morning Chronicle,
" perhaps, was ever more beloved by all who were in any manner con-
nected with him. But what gave peculiar value to his high powers, was
his unbending Integrity and true patriotism. From his first appearance on
the field of politics to the last, no man ever thought of even doubting his
rectitude, and his determined adherence to his conscientious convictions.*'
July 29. — At Hjyfield, England, in his 85th year, John McArt^ur,
author of the " Life of Lord Nelson," in 2 vols. 4to , *' The Army and
Navy Gentleman's Companion," and other works.
August 11. — In London, in his 69th f/ear, John Hickman, JF. JR. &,
Clerk Assistant at the Table of the House of Commons, since the year
1814 ; a man distinguished for his various knowledge, more especially on
statistical subjects. " He was," says Mr. Sharon Turner, " peculiarly a
man of fact and realities, and well adapted to all things that required close
attention, investigation, and continued mental labor. — I think his public
fame will rest mainly and soundly on his labors, efficiency, and arrange-
ment of our Population Census. His publications on this great subject
deserve the highest commendations for labor, discrimination, force of mind,
patience of examination, sound judgment, and varied knowledge, which
they display. They seem to contain all that is necessary to be known on
this great and interesting subject."
Aug. SO. -• In London, in his 72d year, HWiam Otter, D. D., Bishop
of Chichester, a man highly esteemed for his exemplary, amiable, and
benevolent character. He was the fellow traveller of Mr. T. R. Malthus
and Dr. E. D. Clarke, in the north of Europe, and he published the Life
and Remains of Dr. Clarke; and was the author of some publications in
vindication of the Bible Society.
Sept. — At Calcutta, aged 59, Long-Kietva, a native of China, inspector
of the 'tea plantations established by an English company at Assam. —A
Calcutta journal, under the date of Sept. 16, 1S40, speaks of him as
follows: — •' He was a man of immense knowledge. In his youth he
studied natural history and medicine, and he exercised this art with the
greatest auccess in his own country; when, in the year 1816, in conse-
quence of a conspiracy in which one of his family had been implicated, he
.i
184&] FOREIGN OBITUARY. 991
was constrained to exile himself. He took refuge in Bengal, where he
was converted to Christianity, studied theology, and obtained the degree
of doctor in that science. M. Long-Kiewa knew all the principal lan-
guages at present spoken in Asia and Europe, as well as Hebrew, Greek,
and Latin. He made, for the most part, the Chinese translation of the
Scriptures, published by Marsh man. Among his papers have been found a
hundred numbers of a Chinese-Latin- English Dictionary, 4he Chinese trans-
lation of several fragments of works/ of Xenophon, Thucydides, and Arist
totle. He bequeathed to the Asiatic Society of Calcutta his library, which
is composed of about 30,000 volumes, more than 20,000 of which are in
the Chinese language.'*
Sept. 17. — At Poonah in India, Miss Emma Roberts, authoress of
" Memoirs of the Rival Houses of York and Lancaster," and " Oriental
Scenes, Sketches, and Tales."
Sept. 20. — In Paraguay, at a very advanced age, Dr. Francia, Dictator
of Paraguay. The government is said to have devolved on a junta of five
members.
Sept, 22. — In London, in her 72d year, Princess Augusta Sophia, the
second daughter of George HI, of England, characterized as an amiable
and benevolent woman.
Sept. 12. — Near Ramsgate, England, in his 81st year, Sir William
Garrow, a distinguished advocate and lawyer, formerly Attorney-General
of England, and a Baron of the Court of Exchequer.
Sept. 29. — At Kibworth, in Leicestershire, England, aged 76, the Rev*
James JBeresford, author of various publications, the most known of which
is entitled, " The Miseries of Human Life ; or the Last Groans of Timothy
Testy and Samuel Sensitive, with a few supplementary Sighs from Mrs.
Testy,"
Sept. 29. — In London, aged 58, John Marshall, author of various
works on manufactures, commerce, and statistics.
Oct. S. — At his seat, the Wilderness, in Kent, England, in his 8 2d
year, John Jeffreys Pratt, first Marquis of Camden, a distinguished noble-
man, who had held many important offices, some of which were those of
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in 1795-8; Secretary of State for the Colo-
nies, in 1804 - 5 ; President of the Council, in 1S05 - 6, and in 1807-12 .
Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, from 1834 till his decease ; and a
Teller of the Exchequer, from 17S0 till his death, 60 years. The emolu-
ment of the two Tellers increased from 1782 to 1808, from £ 2,500 to
£ 23,000 ; and, during almost half of the time which the Marquis of Cam-
den held the office, he patriotically resigned this large income.
Oct. 22, — At Holland House,' Kensington, near London, in his 67th
year, Henry Richard Vassall, Lord Holland, Chancellor of the Duchy of
Lancaster, and member of the Cabinet. He was born in 1773, and was
the only son of Stephen Fox, second Lord Holland, who was the elder
20tt roREiew obituary* [18421
brother of the celebrated Charles James Fox. In 1796, Lord Holland
commenced his parliamentary career, and he has been an able and zealous
supporter of the same party, and the principles, in the defence of which his
uncle, Mr. Fox, held so conspicuous a rank. When the Whig party came
into power, in 1830, Lord Holland became a Cabinet Minister, and Chancel-
lor of the Duchy of Lancaster, which office he continued to fill till his
death, except for the short interval during which his party were dismissed
from office.
In 1797, he married Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of Richard V assail,
Esq. (a very opulent planter,) and the divorced wife of Sir Godfrey Web-
ster, and he assumed, in consequence, the name of Vassal I, though his
children have taken the family name of Fox.
Lord Holland was a man of literary accomplishments, and distinguished
for his knowledge of Spanish literature. He was the author of " An Ac-
count of the Life and Writings of Lope Felix de Vega Carpio," and of
•'•Guillem de Castro; " '* Three Comedies from the Spanish," and several
other publications.
The following is an extract from a tribute to his memory in the London
"Examiner:" — "The benignant, the accomplished Lord Holland is no
more ; the last and best of the Whigs of the old school ; the long tried
friend of religious and civil liberty ; the champion of toleration, and of the
oppressed, has closed a life which has been an ornament and a bulwark to
the liberal cause. He was one of England's worthies, in the pristine sense
of the word, and a more steady example of the steady statesman, the ur-
bane gentleman, and the accomplished scholar, never existed. Lord Hol-
land's was a fine mind, and a fine mind in perpetual exercise of the most
healthy kind. It was observed of him, that he was never found without a
good book in his hand. — The charm of his conversation will never be for-
gotten by those who have enjoyed it. Hie mind was full of anecdote,
which was always introduced with the most felicitous appositeness, and
exquisitely narrated. He was a wit without a particle of ill-nature, and a

the largest sum ever known by a medical practitioner ; no less, indeed, than

the same astouishing celebrity, with its consequent wonderful income of

at Seville. According to bis own account, he performed his official ojr re-
Iigious duties in a zealous and exemplary manner. *' My religious belief/'
he says, " had been hitherto undisturbed ; but light clouds of doubt began
now to pass over my mind, which the warmth of devotion soon dissipated ;
yet they would gather again and again, with an increased darkness, which
prayer could scarcely dispel. Having to preach to the royal brigade of
Caribineers, who came to worship the body of St. Ferdinand, preserved in
the King's Chapel, I chose the subject of Infidelity, on which I delivered
an elaborate discourse (which was published at Seville, at the expense of
the brigade). But the fatal crisis was at hand. At the end of the year
from the preaching of this sermon, — the confession is painful, indeed, but
it is due to religion itself, — I was bordering on atheism."
After passing about ten years in a perplexed and unhappy state of mind,
he sought an asylum in England, where he reexamined the evidences of.
Christianity, antf, in 1814, he subscribed the articles of the Church of Eng-
land. He became the author of various works, and distinguished himself
by the zeal and ability wi h which he opposed the Catholic religion. In
1835, he deserted the Church of England, and made a profession of Unita-
rianism. Some of his principal publications are "Letters from Spain,
under the assumed name of Don Lcucadio Doblado, " Practical and Inter-
nal Evidences against Catholicism," *' The Poor Man's Preservative against
Popery," " A Letter to Protestants converted from Romanism/' «* The

high order of intellect, of untiring industry, of amiable and philanthropic
character, and he was an exemplary member of the Episcopal church.
" There was no man of his age in the State who had so noiselessly and
calmly done, or was proceeding to do, so large an amount of good; less by
his cooperation in professed enterprises of philanthropy, than by the good
principles and good influences which, in every step of his walk through
life, he was careful to diffuse abroad in society. As a successful instructor,
he could hardly be surpassed ; and it is thought since graduates of his law
school have taken their places at the bar, the profession, in Virginia, has
breathed a more enlarged spirit, and displayed a wider and a higher tone.
The most rigid disciplinarian of all the professors in the University, he was
yet perhaps the most beloved and esteemed by the students ; for it was to
him that every one looked, in the hour of sickness or trouble, for parental
kindness, sympathy, and help. He published, in 1838, a valuable law-book,
a " Treatise on Criminal Law, and a Guide to Justices of the Peace."

pastor til) 1827, 54 years. Dr. Emmons belonged to the Hopkinsian school
of divines, and long held among 1 them the first rank. He was greatly
respected for his talents as a preacher and theologiln, and as an exemplary
and devoted pastor. He was, for many years, an eminent private instructor
of students in theology. His publications are numerous, consisting chiefly
of two volumes of sermons, and many miscellaneous and occasional dis-
courses.
Mr. Williams, in the discourse preached at the funeral of Dr. Emmons,
says, " By a natural and pathetic delivery of hi 9 sermons, he early secured
the attention and affection of his people. Nor has any man, in ancient or
modern times, in any department of eloquence, produced greater and bet-
ter effects on the same hearers, for so long a time, by the power of speech,
than were produced by Dr. Emmons. — In the instruction of students in
theology, of whom he bad a large number, he excelled every teacher of
whom 1 ever had any knowledge, in any department of education, whether
literary, scientific, or professional."

over the country, as its chief magistrate. His election was a triumphant v
one; of 294 votes for President, he received 234; and his progress from
his residence, tbe Log Cabin, to the White House, was marked by the
roost gratifying demonstrations of popular affection and confidence. His
inaugural address, though not marked by any uncommon ability, as a literary
performance, yet was of such a tone and character as to strengthen his
hold upon the affections of the American people. From the time when he

death, he had been rising in public esteem and confidence ; be entered
upon the duties of his office with an uncommon degree of popularity, and

ble to himself, and advantageous to the country. His death, which took

out the country, and was regarded as a most calamitous event. He was
the first President of the United States that has died in office. The mem-

ciates of his earlier professional labors, are now no more, yet there are
many living, who bear witness to his ability as a lawyer, in conflict with the
brightest ornaments of the bar ; but his highest claims to distinction were
found in his extensive literary attainments, his accurate taste as a scholar,
and in the brilliancy of his wit. To those of us, who were associated with

gant urbanity which made his house the temple of hospitality, will long
continue to be a source of unmingled pleasure."
