8° G. Miller & Sons, Haddington [1815?]

This is a curiosity in its way, an innocent bit of trifling worth looking into. The journal is kept by putting down from day to day a few little pictures to represent the chief incidents. For instance, a picture of a flying fish and the date, shows what day one flew on board.

8° George W. Wood, New York, 1849 Only a little more than twenty years ago, in 1846 and 1847, when Mr. Whitney was agitating the people and lobying the Congress for a rail road from Lake Michigan to the Pacific, to San Francisco or to Puget Sound, he was ridiculed and derided by the knowing ones as projecting a ruinous and impracticable scheme. Like the scheme of Columbus, everybody abused it till success crowned his efforts, and then everybody knew it all before, and declared the rewards disproportionate to the success. Whitney's plans have long since been carried out almost to the letter, and yet his name is not recorded where it should and in time will be. This book, with its two most interesting maps, in this original edition, will in future time more and more be sought after by collectors as the small beginning of a gigantic well digested project. 2993 Whittenhall (Mr.) A Short Introduction to Grammar for the Use of the College and Academy in Philadelphia.
