commendation for its very great accuracy. When completed it will make a volume which every Confederate soldier should possess.
We repeat again that the author is extremely anxious to make the Roster as complete and as accurate as possible, and would esteem it a favor if any one detecting errors or omissions would write to him at once. Address Colonel Charles C. Jones, Jr., Postoffice Box 5549, New York city.
We desire again to call attention to our books, which are now ready for distribution:
"A Confederate View of the Treatment of Prisoners" is simply our March and April numbers put into a very neatly bound volume. It does not profess to be an exhaustive discussion of the subject, but it gives official facts and figures, and most unimpeachable testimony to refute the slanders against the Confederacy which have so long "run riot over both facts and probabilities." It is a book that ought to be placed in every public and private library in the South, and our friends should interest themselves in placing it in Northern and European libraries as well.
We mail it on the receipt of the price, $1.25, $1.50, or $1.75, according to binding.
"Southern Historical Society Papers—Volume I—January to June, 1876," containing our first six numbers beautifully bound, we mail at $2.00 bound in cloth, $2.25 in half morocco, and $2.50 half calf.
We consider this volume of 500 pages, containing invaluable matter to those who would know the truth of our Confederate history, an exceedingly cheap book, and we hope our friends will assist in its circulation.
And we would be obliged if friends would call the attention of booksellers to our publications. We are satisfied that we can make it to the advantage of booksellers and newsdealers to keep our publications on hand.
Book Notices.
We are indebted to Rev. Dr. E. T. Baird, Secretary of the Presbyterian Publication Society, for a copy of this book.
The printing, stereotyping and binding is all done in Richmond, and its beautiful get-up is proof positive that we need not go North for such work. The book itself is the story of the life of one of the ablest ministers which this country ever produced, admirably told by one who knew him intimately, and was, perhaps, his peer in ability and scholarship. Of the charm of the life and character of this great man, the admiration excited by the story of his ceaseless work for the church, and of his delightful letters, we may not here speak.
