We are informed by the agent of an English manufacturer of chemicals, extracts, and many other preparations used in medicine, that it is a regular and systematic business, carried on by his principal and others in his line, to make articles for the American market of different qualities, one for the Atlantic cities, and another, very much inferior, " for the West," meaning...
Side 191 - In 1 Vol., price 5s. THE SPORTING WORLD, BY HARRY HIEOVER. " Reading Harry Hieover's book is like listening lazily and luxuriously after dinner to a quiet, gentlemanlike, clever talker.

Side 395 - ... the men taking a walk up the river, reported on their return, that the flood poured in upon them when in the river bed, so suddenly, that they narrowly escaped it. Still the bed of the Macquarie before our camp continued so dry and silent, that I could scarcely believe the flood coming to be real, and so near to us, who had been put to so many shifts for want of water.
