ERRATA.

Page 19, line 15. For "President Adams" read "Secretary of State Adams."

P. 126, Footnote, third line from bottom, for "Busti" read "Bustia." P. 132, top line, for "Mr. Alston" read "Joseph Allston."

P. 198, 12th line from bottom, for "Michael Middaugh" read "Martin Middaugh."

P. 221, line 4, the allusion is misleading as to the location of the Normal school, the original building having occupied the Jersey-street site of the present structure.
